This book presents a thorough examination of index modulation an emerging 5G modulation
technique. It includes representative transmitter and receiver design optimization and
performance analysis of index modulation in various domains. First the basic spatial
modulation system for the spatial domain is introduced. Then the development of a generalized
pre-coding aided quadrature spatial modulation system as well as a virtual spatial modulation
system are presented. For the space-time domain a range of differential spatial modulation
systems are examined along with the pre-coding design. Both basic and enhanced index modulated
OFDM systems for the frequency domain are discussed focusing on the verification of their
strong capabilities in inter-carrier interference mitigation. Finally key open problems are
highlighted and future research directions are considered.Designed for researchers and
professionals this book is essential for anyone working in communications networking 5G and
system design. Advanced-level students of engineering and computer science interested in
efficiency techniques will also find the content valuable.
