Although early attempts, which can be dated back ing trade-off between spectral efficiency and energy efficiency to the beginning of the 21-st century, have been made to with a simple design philosophy. SM enjoys plenty of benefits and shows great potential to fulfill the requirements of future explore the preliminary SM [5], [6], they were sporadic and wireless communications. The key idea behind SM is to convey did not receive much attention in the early days. After 2008, additional information typically through the ON/OFF states of research work on SM has begun to grow explosively and the transmit antennas and simultaneously save the implementation systematic introduction of the SM concept has been reported cost by reducing the number of radio frequency chains. As a in some tutorial/overview literature [7]–[10], which attract a result, the SM concept can have widespread effects on diverse applications and can be applied in other signal domains such lot of attention from researchers. By activating one transmit as frequency/time/code/angle domain or even across multiple antenna to convey index information, SM reaps the spatial domains.
