Maximum Distance Separable (MDS) Code Aided MIMO for Future Wireless Communication

This paper proposes maximum distance separable (MDS) code aided multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) framework, generally. The simulation results show that the schemes we propose can achieve better performance than quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) and spatial modulation (SM). There are two ways to generate MIMO framework based on MDS code: one is to combine MIMO with MDS code constructed by using amplitude and phase levels, called MIMO-MDS-APM framework; the other is to combine MIMO with MDS code, constructed by using in-phase and quadrature components of codewords, called MIMO-MDS-IQM framework. The proposed schemes are compared with QAM and SM schemes in terms of minimum Euclidean distance (MED). The results indicate that the MIMO framework based on MDS code can achieve better bit error rate (BER) performance under different detections, which can be seen as promising future wireless communication technology.
