A new differential chaos shift keying scheme with multidimensional index modulation, referred to as MIM-DCSK scheme, is proposed in this paper. This design objective of the proposed MIM-DCSK scheme is to enhance the data rate, energy efficiency, and spectral efficiency of traditional DCSK scheme. In the proposed MIM-DCSK scheme, in addition to the information bits allocated for physical transmission, multidimensional transmission entities, namely the time slot, carrier, and Walsh code are simultaneously considered as indices to convey additional information bits, thus achieving high data rate, spectral efficiency, and energy efficiency. The theoretical bit-error-rate (BER) expressions of the MIM-DCSK scheme are derived over additive white Gaussian noise (AWGN) and multipath Rayleigh fading channels. Furthermore, the data rate, complexity, spectral efficiency, and energy efficiency of the MIM-DCSK scheme are analyzed. Simulation results verify the accuracy of the theoretical analysis and illustrate the superiority of the proposed scheme. The proposed MIM-DCSK scheme is a promising solution for low-power and low-cost short-wireless communications.
