- Abstract:
-
Mobile networks will support increasing numbers
of connected vehicles. Successive generations of mobile networks
have reduced the cost of data rate, in terms of spectrum usage
and power consumption at the base station, by increasingly
exploiting the concept of channel state information at the
transmitter.
Unfortunately, beyond a limiting velocity (which
depends on the carrier frequency), networks are no longer cost
efficient, since such information is not usable. Recently, channel
prediction techniques requiring several antennas on the car top
have been introduced to solve this problem.
In this paper, for the
first time, we determine the most cost efficient configurations, in
terms of numbers of antennas on the car top and carrier
frequency, in various scenarios (highway and dense urban).
Our
studies show that with a simple prediction technique based on
predictor antennas, the network can use twice less spectrum and
around 20 dB less power, for cars with 3 antennas on their tops
than for cars with the same number of antennas and not using
prediction.
