Abstract

Beam prediction and tracking (BPT) are key technology for high-frequency communications. Typical techniques include Kalman filtering and Gaussian process regression (GPR). However, Kalman filter requires explicit models of system dynamics, which are challenging to obtain, especially for complicated environments. In contrast, as a data-driven approach, there is no need to derive the system dynamics model for GPR. However, the computational complexity of GPR is often prohibitive, which makes real-time application challenging. To tackle this issue, we propose a novel hybrid model and data driven approach in this paper, which can exploit simultaneously the advantages from the two techniques while overcoming their drawbacks. In particular, the system dynamics required can be obtained in a data-driven manner. Based on a characterization of the system dynamics, we further investigate the long-term behavior of system evolution and propose two more efficient algorithms - long-term prediction and beam width optimization. We demonstrate two advantages of the proposed BPT approach. First, the computational complexity is low due to the inherent Kalman filter. Second, system performance can be significantly improved thanks to the long-term prediction and beam width optimization.
