In this paper, we study the performance of Space Shift Keying (SSK) modulation for a generic Multiple–Input–Multiple–Output (MIMO) wireless system over correlated Rician fading channels. In particular, we propose a very general framework for computing the Average Bit Error Probability (ABEP) of SSK–MIMO systems over a generic Rician fading channel with arbitrary correlation and channel parameters. The framework relies upon the Moschopoulos method. We will show that it is exact for MIMO systems with two transmit–antennas and arbitrary receive–antennas, while an asymptotically–tight upper–bound is proposed to handle the system setup with an arbitrary number of transmit–antennas. Analytical frameworks and theoretical findings will be substantiated via Monte Carlo simulations for various system setups.
