This document discusses spatial modulation (SM) and how it improves energy efficiency over conventional MIMO schemes. It begins by defining spectral efficiency and energy efficiency. It then explains that previous MIMO designs focused on spectral efficiency but neglected energy efficiency. SM-MIMO is proposed as a solution, using only one active antenna at a time to transmit both antenna index and modulation symbol. This doubles data rate while reducing power consumption, removing the tradeoff between energy and spectral efficiency. The document provides details on how SM-MIMO works, including encoding, channel effects, and decoding techniques. It compares the BER performance and energy efficiency of SM-MIMO to conventional MIMO, showing SM-MIMO achieves over 70% higher energy
