Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with codebook index modulation

Abstract

Ultra-reliable and low-latency communications (URLLC) partake a major role in future communication systems. A possible strong candidate for future URLLC networks is sparse vector coding (SVC), which enables a superior performance in terms of bit error rate (BER). In SVC, virtual digital domain (VDD) and compressed sensing (CS) algorithms are used to encode and decode information. In this paper, orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM)-based a novel system called orthogonal frequency division multiplexing with codebook index modulation (OFDM-CIM) and which can meet the needs of URLLC systems has been proposed. In OFDM-CIM, information bits are transmitted via both active subcarrier indices and codebook indices. As a result of computer simulations, OFDMCIM is presented as a strong candidate for next generation communication systems.
