Spectral efficiency is a major concern for future 6G wireless communication systems. Thus, an appropriate scheme is needed to provide channel capacity improvement for multiple transmitters and receiver-based wireless communication systems without consuming extra resource for communication (e.g., frequency/time/code) or causing interference. Therefore, to fulfill the mentioned requirements for the future 6G wireless network, orbital angular momentum-based multiple-input-multiple-output (OAM-MIMO) multiplexing technique is incorporated with the receive antenna shift keying (RASK) technique in this study (termed as the OAM-MIMO-RASK scheme). OAM-MIMO-RASK can transfer multiple symbols from multiple transmitters to different receivers simultaneously by using multiple subchannels using the OAM and RASK techniques without any interference or additional resource (frequency/time/code). The numerical results illustrated that the proposed OAM-MIMO-RASK can achieve almost double capacity than the existing OAM-MIMO scheme and significantly higher capacity than the existing RASK-based scheme for different values of signal-to-noise ratio. Moreover, the simulation result is validated by the theoretical result which is also shown by the numerical result. In addition, due to different normalized distances from the transmitters and receivers, the proposed OAM-MIMO-RASK scheme can achieve almost double capacity than the existing OAM-MIMO scheme by using OAM-MIMO and RASK technique effectively which is also depicted by the numerical results.
