  In this work, we propose a new multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) concept,
which is called coordinate interleaved orthogonal design with media-based
modulation (CIOD-MBM). The proposed two novel CIOD-MBM schemes provide improved
data rates as well as diversity gain while enabling hardware simplicity using a
single radio frequency (RF) chain. Moreover, using the equivalent channel
model, a reduced complexity can be obtained for maximum likelihood (ML)
detection of the proposed system. Using computer simulations, it is shown that
CIOD-MBM schemes provide remarkably better performance against the conventional
MBM and CIOD systems.
