Abstract
Terahertz (THz) massive multiple-input multiple-output (mMIMO) has recently gained significant attention because of its ability to deliver a high data rate and offer a high capacity. In this letter, a novel sub-surface of sub-arrays (SSoSA)-based beam tracking scheme is proposed to track mobile users in reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS)-aided wideband THz mMIMO systems. By considering the sub-connected phase-delay-phase architecture, the proposed scheme can simultaneously track the physical directions of users, unlike traditional schemes that generate one frequency-independent beam in each time slot. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme offers near-optimal achievable rate performance with low training overhead.
期刊介绍:
The IEEE Communications Letters publishes short papers in a rapid publication cycle on advances in the state-of-the-art of communication over different media and channels including wire, underground, waveguide, optical fiber, and storage channels. Both theoretical contributions (including new techniques, concepts, and analyses) and practical contributions (including system experiments and prototypes, and new applications) are encouraged. This journal focuses on the physical layer and the link layer of communication systems.
