A new practical multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) transceiver technique called spatially modulated integer-forcing (SM-IF) is proposed for hybrid beamforming array systems, which combines generalized spatial modulation (GSM) with integer-forcing (IF) MIMO multiplexing transmission to achieve improved spectral efficiency with low system complexity. In the proposed scheme, the transmitter first activates a subset of antennas using analog beamforming and delivers an SM information stream via the index of the activated antenna group. Then MIMO digital multiplexing is applied to send multiple MIMO information streams via multilevel coding (MLC) with binary channel codes through the activated antennas. At the receiver side, the receiver first estimates the index of the activated antenna group to recover the SM stream and then recovers the MIMO streams by IF sum decoding in conjunction with multi-stage decoding. The proposed scheme provides a unified coding framework to achieve a synergistic gain by integrating off-the-shelf practical binary codes and low complexity IF decoding into hybrid beamforming array systems. By extensive linklevel numerical simulations, the proposed scheme is shown to outperform both the conventional plain IF MIMO and plain SM approaches. The results demonstrate that the proposed SM-IF can be a promising transceiver technique implementable in practical hybrid beamforming array systems.
