The aim of this project is to maximize the information transmission capability of the communication system by means of index modulation, which is supposed to include the spatial modulation technique and the index modulated OFDM (IM-OFDM) technique as its special cases and explore the spatial, temporal, and frequency resources further. To this end, first, this project plans to propose a novel space-time block coding technique, which conveys information via the antenna activation mode and the phase rotation value, a capacity-enhanced IM-OFDM technique, which develops new subcarrier activation modes, and a novel information conveying mechanism, which is realized by encoding different time-frequency pilot patterns. Then, to ensure satisfactory communication quality in the high-speed vehicular environment, this project plans to propose several novel pre-coding based inter-carrier interference (ICI) cancellation schemes compatible with the newly proposed system. Finally, this project plans to design efficient strategies for the proposed index modulated system, which can adapt to the instantaneous channel, including the best selection from all possible index modulation methods and effective resource allocation method. The research output of this project tends to support valuable references for the evolution of the MIMO-OFDM system, and the adopted research methods can provide new ideas for the solution of many relevant problems. Moreover, the proposed index modulation concept and the proposed techniques in this project comply with the “Green” requirement of the next generation wireless communications better.
