Rectangular Differential Spatial Modulation for Open-Loop Noncoherent Massive-MIMO Downlink

In this paper, a novel differential space-time coding scheme is conceived for open-loop noncoherent multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) downlink scenarios, where the transmission rate increases logarithmically in a scalable manner upon increasing the number of transmit antennas. More specifically, the proposed scheme relies on the projection of a differentially encoded square matrix to its rectangular counterpart and so is capable of reducing the number of symbol intervals needed for block transmission. This is especially beneficial for massive MIMO scenarios, in which the number of transmit antennas is very high. Another advantage exclusive to the presented scheme is that no channel state information (CSI) is required at either the transmitter or the receiver, which eliminates pilot overhead, CSI estimation, CSI feedback, and time-division duplex reciprocity. Furthermore, the rectangular transmission matrix of the proposed scheme contains only a single non-zero element per column, and hence, the transmitter may rely on only a single RF chain, similar to the conventional coherent spatial modulation scheme.
