In this letter, an efficient detection scheme is proposed to mitigate the effect of the carrier frequency offset (CFO) in spatial modulation orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (SM-OFDM) systems. Specifically, the proposed scheme employs a novel symbol-by-symbol-aided iterative detector to the SM-OFDM systems with multiple CFOs, where the zero symbols are considered as constellation points. Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed scheme is capable of effectively mitigating the effect of multiple CFOs and of providing about considerable system performance improvement compared with the conventional parallel interference cancellation-aided maximum likelihood detector at a moderate complexity cost.
