Abstract
In this paper, we evaluate the energy efficiency of a multi-antenna Base Station (BS) employing Spatial Modulation (SM). Taking advantage of the single Radio Frequency (RF) chain configuration of SM, we show that SM offers a significant total power reduction compared to other multi-RF chain Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) architectures. For the same RF transmit power, we demonstrate that the total power saving of SM scales linearly with the number of RF chains required by other MIMO schemes. Furthermore, we clarify that for the same ergodic capacity, SM has a significant advantage in energy efficiency compared to the studied multi-RF chain MIMO configurations.
