Abstract
Beamforming is one of the key technologies for achieving the high performance criteria in various modern and future wireless communications systems, in particular at the millimeter wave frequencies. In order to avoid or reduce the large signaling overhead and corresponding latency related to beam-training procedures, location-based beamforming utilizing available position information has been proposed. In this paper, by using the available position probability density function of a receiving device, we derive and analyze the capacity of a beamformed radio link, without and with beam-sweeping based beam training. Through the analysis, we show that by adjusting the beamforming and/or beam-training parameters appropriately, the radio link capacity can be optimized with respect to the prevailing positioning accuracy, and thus optimal utilization of radio resources is achieved with minimal radio access latency.
