Abstract: In contrast to conventional preprocessing aided spatial modulation (PSM), which carries partial information using the indexes of receive antennas, we exploit one receive antenna to implicitly convey information and meanwhile harvest energy at the remaining antennas. Based on this, we propose two novel beamforming schemes. The first scheme is to maximize the sum energy harvested by the receiver. And the second scheme is to maximize the minimum receiving power on each antenna except for the antenna that conveys information. A closed form solution and an iterative algorithm are given, respectively. Simulation results demonstrate that proposed two schemes can harvest a certain amount of energy with nearly same achievable rate compared to the benchmark schemes. But the second scheme is superior to the first scheme and PSM scheme in terms of bit error rate (BER) performance.
