Abstract
This paper presents a novel variant of filter bank multicarrier (FBMC) communication, which carries additional bits through mapping the real and imaginary parts of the symbol to the active time-frequency (TF) points, called FBMC with real part and imaginary part index modulation (FBMC-RIIM). Spectral efficiency is improved by doubling the index bits and the inherent interference in each index group is significantly reduced. In this paper, an efficient combination set selection strategy, which synthetically considers the average Hamming distance, average poor index number and average interference coefficient, is also designed. The BER performance comparison between the proposed and reference schemes is obtained under different index modes, spectral efficiency, modulation order and prototype filters. The enhanced performance demonstrates that the proposed scheme is a promising alternative for multicarrier transmission by outperforming the existing FBMC-IM counterpart.
