BER Performance of SSK Sequence Modulation

Space shift keying antenna sequence modulation (SSK-ASM) is proposed for conveying information bits through unique antenna sequence patterns. The information is conveyed in spatial domain only via mixed Gaussian channel such Rayleigh Flat Fading. In this paper we, present analytical formulation of bit error rate performance of SSK-ASM, by utilizing Sample variance (SV) and Mutual information (MI) criterion in single input Multiple output (SIMO) configuration. Moreover, the exact Average bit error probability (ABEP) over Rayleigh Flat fading channel is developed in close-form. Monte Carlo simulations is shown to be tightly bound to the theoretical framework for SV criterion method.
