Abstract

In this letter, index modulation (IM) is proposed for OFDM systems based on a discrete cosine transform (DCT) implementation. The new DCT-OFDM-IM scheme is shown to yield spectral efficiency improvements of up to 38% relative to OFDM-IM and up to 55% relative to OFDM while occupying the same bandwidth and maintaining similar robustness against the frequency selective fading channels for low modulation orders.
