Abstract

In high-mobility scenarios, affine frequency division multiplexing with index modulation (AFDM-IM) has attracted significant attention due to its ability to convey information by combining active subcarrier indices with constellation symbols. Motivated by the spatial multiplexing concept in multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems, in this paper, we propose the MIMO-AFDM-IM scheme to enhance spectral efficiency (SE) and bit error rate (BER) performance. Three detection methods are introduced to address the exponential complexity of Maximum Likelihood (ML) detection in MIMO-AFDM-IM. These methods aim to strike a balance between detection accuracy and computational complexity. Additionally, the average bit error probability (ABEP) of the MIMO-AFDM-IM scheme is derived to assess its performance. Computer simulations are carried out under time-varying multipath conditions, and the results demonstrate the superiority of the proposed MIMO-AFDM-IM over MIMOAFDM and AFDM-IM across various system configurations.
