Capacity Loss From Localization Error in MIMO Channel Using Leaky Coaxial Cable

Leaky coaxial (LCX) cable has been employed as antennas for wireless traffic over many linear-cell scenarios such as railway station, tunnels and shopping malls. In addition, LCX can be used for user localization and wireless power transfer (WPT). Compared with the equal power allocation method, the power allocation method for LCX system using positional information (PI) can improve its capacity with the same level of computational complexity. In this paper, we will investigate the level of capacity loss on the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz band for the conventional equal power (EP) allocation method, the water-filling (WF) based power allocation, and our proposed low-complexity power allocation method for LCX system with PI. The results show that LCX system with our proposed method using PI can reduce the capacity loss due to localization error than that of others.
