SpatialModulation project

The SpatialModulation project proposes a new air interface, imbedded in the future 5G/WLAN interfaces. It will provide connectivity, with a high data rate, to a specific part of the internet-of-things: small, mobile and energy autonomous sensors. For instance, we expect small portable cameras to reach a higher autonomy by 2020. With the right wireless technology, they would send real time videos. Multiple Input and Multiple Output (MIMO) boosts the data rate. However, for our kind of sensor, a solution based on multiple Radio-Frequency (RF) chains and multiple antennas, is too costly, too energy consuming and too large. We therefore propose to revisit and jointly optimize two disruptive techniques to create a ‘smaller’ MIMO: Spatial Modulation MIMO (SM-MIMO) and Small Tunable Locally Resonant Antenna (STLRA). SM-MIMO will boost the data rate, but just with a single RF. STLRA will improve the compactness of the system. A proof of concept (FPGA platforms) and innovative signal processing schemes will be produced.
