Abstract
In this paper, we aim to study the Energy Efficiency (EE) of Spatial Modulation (SM) at different Base Stations (BSs) taking into account the total power consumption. Compared to conventional Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MIMO) schemes, SM benefits from a single Radio Frequency (RF) chain which results in decreased power supply (W), higher EE (Mbits/J), and reduced complexity. Using the fundamental limits of Shannon capacity, we show that SM achieves a range of average data rates with only a fraction, which can be as low as 24% for four transmit antennas, of the total power supply of conventional MIMO.
