The invention belongs to the field of
wireless communication, and provides a space-time coding
spatial modulation method and
system based on an intelligent reflecting surface, and the method comprises the steps: carrying out the different
phase modulation of a
signal transmitted by a single transmitting antenna at different time slots through employing the characteristics of RIS, enabling the transmitted
signal to have a format similar to Alamouti space-time coding, and enabling the transmitted
signal to have a space-time coding format; therefore, a second-order
transmit diversity can be obtained; and meanwhile, the known
channel state information is utilized to reconstruct the propagation channel, so that the signal-to-
noise ratio at the selected receiving antenna is maximized, and the
system performance is improved. In addition, the method provided by the invention supports a linear decoding method of a receiving end, so that the decoding complexity is relatively low. A
simulation experiment shows that under different parameter configurations and different spectrum efficiencies, the scheme (RIS-AlaSM) has better
bit error rate performance compared with the existing RIS-RQRM (RIS-RQRM) based on the RIS.
