Spatial Modulation for Beyond 5G Communications: Capacity Calculation and Link Adaptation
Keyword(s):
Spatial Modulation (SM) is a candidate modulation scheme for beyond 5G communications systems due to its reduced hardware complexity and good trade-off between energy and spectral efficiency. This paper proposes two Machine Learning based solutions for easing the implementation of adaptive SM systems. On the one hand, a shallow neural network is shown to be an accurate and simple method for obtaining the capacity of SM. On the other hand, a deep neural network is proposed to select the coding rate in practical adaptive SM systems.
