Velocity-aware Antenna Selection in Predictor Antenna Systems
Paper in proceeding, 2021

Moving relay (MR), which is a candidate solution for supporting in-vehicle users, has been investigated in different studies. Due to the mobile nature of the MR, acquiring channel state information at the transmitter side (CSIT) is challenging because of the fast-changing environment around the vehicle. On top of an MR, one can use predictor antenna (PA), i.e., an additional antenna in front of the receive antenna (RA), to obtain CSIT, and recent works have investigated the benefits of such a set up. PA-aided CSIT acquisition normally works with the help of different content information such as the location and the velocity of the MR. In this paper, we study the effect of velocity awareness on the PA system, and develop adaptive antenna selection schemes in PA-assisted MRs. Results show that, compared to no-CSIT schemes, a velocity-aware antenna selection-based PA system can improve the end-to-end throughput by an order of magnitude.
