Experimental Demonstration of Location-aware Beam Alignment

preprint2020arXivOpen access

Abstract

The main focus of beam alignment is to find the optimal beam which yields the largest received signal strength (RSS) with faster speed.In this paper, we demonstrate an efficient beam alignment scheme with our testbed. The algorithm we experiment uses the location information for the computation efficient beam alignment.The testbed transmits and receives the 13.8 GHz signal and steers a beam on both transmitter and receiver with various radio frequency (RF) components. The location information is estimated with the indoor positioning module. The experiment shows that the location-aware algorithm significantly reduces the time consumption for beam alignment than the exhaustive search.
