Abstract

Spatial modulation (SM) utilizes the transmit antenna index and a quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) symbol chosen from a constellation diagram to improve spectral efficiency (SE) comparing to conventional modulation scheme. However, in the conventional SM system, the modulation mode applied to the active antenna is fixed, which degrades the bits error rates (BER) and spectral efficiency (SE) performance. Moreover, a large number of researches on SM systems focus on the utilization of the uniform linear array (ULA) for transmission, which only considers the transmission on the horizontal domain while ignoring that on the vertical domain. Therefore, in this paper, we propose an adaptive spatial modulation (ASM) scheme with uniform planar array (UPA) over millimeter wave (mmWave) channels, which combines SM with adaptive modulation (AM) to enhance the performance of SE. To further improve the bits error rates (BER) performance, we develop an UPA-based ASM scheme with transmit antenna selection (TAS). We then analyse the BER and SE performance of both the two ASM scheme and obtain the closed-form expression for SE of the UPA-based ASM scheme with TAS algorithm. The simulations demonstrate that the proposed ASM schemes can achieve a considerable SE and a relatively low BER.
