Signal detection in antenna-hopping space-division multiple-access systems with space-shift keying modulation
Significance of output:
The first paper considering multiuser space-shift keying (SSK) modulation and also the first study of SSK-aided space-division multiple-access (SDMA) systems. Radical multiuser transmission (MUT) schemes and low-complexity multiuser detectors (MUDs) are designed. These exhibit linearly increasing complexity with the number of users, while approaching the near-optimum performance of the optimum full-search-based MUDs that are characterised by exponentially-increasing complexity. It influenced further research by famous academics, such as Di Renzo (Supelec, Paris), Haas (Edinburgh), Hari (IISC, India), Sugiura (Japan), Ghrayeb (Qatar), etc. Many related PhD-thesis were conceived both at Southampton and globally, since the method requires only a single radio-frequency stage.
