This paper presents an inertial sensor aided technique for beam alignment and tracking in massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) communications based on millimeter waves (mmWave). Since directional communications in vehicular scenarios are severely hindered by beam pointing issues, a beam alignment procedure has to be periodically carried out to guarantee the communication reliability. When dealing with massive MIMO links, the beam sweeping approach is known to be time consuming and often unfeasible due to latency constraints. To speed up the process, we propose a method that exploits a-priori information on array dynamics provided by an inertial sensor on transceivers to assist the beam alignment procedure. The proposed inertial sensor aided technique allows a continuous tracking of the beam while transmitting, avoiding frequent realignment phases. Numerical results based on real measurements of on-transceiver accelerometers demonstrate a significant gain in terms of V2V communication throughput with respect to conventional beam alignment protocols.
A reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) can shape the radio propagation by passively changing the directions of impinging electromagnetic waves. The optimal control of the RIS requires perfect channel state information (CSI) of all the links conne
Location information offered by external positioning systems, e.g., satellite navigation, can be used as prior information in the process of beam alignment and channel parameter estimation for reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided millimeter
A reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) can shape the radio propagation environment by virtue of changing the impinging electromagnetic waves towards any desired directions, thus, breaking the general Snells reflection law. However, the optimal co
Millimetre wave (mmWave) beam tracking is a challenging task because tracking algorithms are required to provide consistent high accuracy with low probability of loss of track and minimal overhead. To meet these requirements, we propose in this paper
