Abstract:
A transmission method using a massive MIMO (Multiple-Input and Multiple-Output) scheme with an arrangement 108 of Nm×Nb antenna elements at the transmitter, arranged in Nm sets of Nb antenna elements or Nb sets of Nm antenna elements based on SC-FDE (Single-Carrier with Frequency Domain Equalization) schemes with large constellations that is compatible with low-cost, highly-efficient, nonlinear amplifiers 106, while allowing spatial multiplexing gains.The transmission structure of this transmission method decomposes in 103 the modulated symbols from 102 associated to a given constellation as the sum of Nm polar components that are modulated as Nm BPSK (Binary Phase Shift Keying) signals. Each of these BPSK signals can be regarded as an OQPSK (Offset Quadrature Phase Shift Keying) signal in the serial format that is specially designed to have good tradeoffs between reduced envelope fluctuations and a compact spectrum.
