MIMO (Multiple-Input
Multiple-Output) technologies have been used widely over the recent decades
for increasing spectral efficiency and obtaining high rates of data [1]. But
the present technologies of MIMO face different issues including high system
complication, bound spectral efficiency, and ICI and inter-channel
interference [2]. SM (Spatial Modulation) is another technology of MIMO which
has attracted the attention of researchers in recent years because of its
understandable complexity and optimization of spectral efficiency [2], [3].
The fundamental concept of spatial modulation is that a single antenna is
working at one instant. This antenna's index starts to serve as a resource
for accumulating and carrying information. Utilizing this extra aspect,
spatial modulation can attain modulation schemes of comparatively low-order
and high spectral efficiency [2].
QSM (Quadrature Spatial Modulation)
is another technique of MIMO that been presented recently for further
improving SM's spectral efficiency [4] while maintaining all inherent
advantages of SM. In a system of QSM, the symbol of complex data is in the
QSM system, the complex data symbol is decomposed into imaginary and real
parts where an active index is modulated by each part. Therefore, in
comparison with SM, an addition of log2 (Nt)-bits can be sent. In this
expression, the number of transmitting antennas is denoted by Nt. It has also
been indicated that SM is outperformed by QSM for a similar spectral
efficiency while maintaining the same receiver complexity [4].
V2V
(Vehicle-to-Vehicle) communication has gotten a lot of attention in the past
few years [5]. The prime objective of this process is to introduce new
methods of vehicle communication with the reduced potential risk of driving, improvement
in the safety index of the drivers and some of the action is complimentary for
the response interval of drivers in case of an accident.
Therefore,
it can be considered as an effective method for the safety of passengers and
drivers along with the other concerns for the smooth driving process in these
urban areas. One of the biggest challenges in this process is the effect on
the safety of passenger due to use of V2V method of communication and it
serves a profound impact on the environment that is highly related to the
fast movement methods for the receiver and the transmitter of communication.
Both
the designing and the testing of the V2V communication technologies are
highly related to the channel models and this process improves the
propagation characteristics of different V2V communication environments [6]. In another research [7], a novel 3-D
V2V geometry-based stochastic channel model (GBSM) has been proposed, the
model was the first 3D model and it works with the most effective and
accurate methods for the capturing of all the types of vehicular traffic
density (VTD) through the special channel.
In
this method, the vehicle is equipped with multiple antennas and uses MIMO
technologies. The other QSM technologies are widely used in the V2V
communication method that improves the safety of the device in the
communication process. Some of the other features are ad hoc peer-to-peer
networks and the significant method for safety is the intelligent
transportation systems [6[.
In the present Research, the proposed research model is used for the analysis
of the Bit Error Rate (BER) performance for the specific QSM systems that
work effectively under the novel 3-D Vehicle-to-Vehicle Multiple-Input
Multiple-Output (3d-V2V-MIMO) channel. The research will include experimental
and simulation work. Besides that we will investigate the impact of the
Doppler effect on the vehicle traffic density (VTD), V2V MIMO channel models
on the BER performance especially for 3-D and 2-D models and thoroughly
investigated processes.

The
QSM system can be used for the measurable Bit Error Rate (BER) performance
and the main investigation is related to the F2M channels that include
Rician, Rayleigh, and the Nakagami fading channels [2; 9; 10].
In
previous research [11] some of the authors also investigated different
factors that are correlated with the MIMO channels about the performance related
to different conditions and parameters of the spatial modulation techniques.
These conditions and parameters include QSM, SM, and other generalized QSM
(GQSM) transmission schemes. All the conditions are further correlated with
the 2D MIMO models for the vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V).
In
another research [12], the researchers investigated the factors and function
for the BER performance related to the SM systems and the research was over V2V
channel models in 2D conditions. The research also included theoretical
analysis and some simulations. There are some other different propagation
characteristics for the working conditions and parameters and these
parameters include antenna element spacing, Tx-Rx distance, maximum Doppler
frequency, certain correlation properties of all types of V2V channels and
BER performance that was based on the related SM systems. The system was
analyzed under all the conditions and parameters.
The
BER performance and its parameters were analyzed in another research [13],
the researchers investigated all the BER performance parameter about the
spatial modulation (SM) systems under certain conditions of 3-D V2V MIMO
channel model. The research used theoretical work along with some types of
simulations. The conditions and parameters used in the analysis identified
the vehicle traffic density, 2D and 3D channel models of V2V MIMO, Doppler
effect, and BER performance conditions under the MIMO technologies. The
research also analyzed the correlation between system complexity and spectral
efficiency.
According
to our best knowledge, there is a research gap between the related study
about the performance of the QSM system. The conditions used in the research
will be related to the performance and realistic MIMO channel models of 3D
V2V MIMO channel. The present research
will identify the reasons and process that can fulfill the research gap. The
investigation used in the dissertation will be related to the BER performance
about the QSM system and the research will use some 3D V2V MIMO channel
models that will be related to the system settings and the VTD scenarios used
in the research [7].
