Shrnutí:We propose a regularized zero-forcing transmit precoding (RZF-TPC)-aided and distance-based adaptive coding and modulation (ACM) scheme to support aeronautical communication applications, by exploiting the high spectral efficiency of the large-scale antenna arrays and link adaption. Our RZF-TPC-aided and distance-based ACM scheme switches its mode according to the distance between the communicating aircraft. We derive the closed-form asymptotic signal-to-interference-plus-noise ratio (SINR) expression of the RZF-TPC for the aeronautical channel, which is Rician, relying on a non-centered channel matrix that is dominated by the deterministic line-of-sight component. The effects of both realistic channel estimation errors and of the co-channel interference are considered in the derivation of this approximate closed-form SINR formula. Furthermore, we derive the analytical expression of the optimal regularization parameter that minimizes the mean square detection error. The achievable throughput expression based on our asymptotic approximate SINR formula is then utilized as the design metric for the proposed RZF-TPC-aided and distance-based ACM scheme. Monte-Carlo simulation results are presented for validating our theoretical analysis as well as for investigating the impact of the key system parameters. The simulation results closely match the theoretical results. In the specific example that two communicating aircrafts fly at a typical cruising speed of 920km/h, heading in opposite direction over the distance up to 740km taking a period of about 24 min, the RZF-TPC-aided and distance-based ACM is capable of transmitting a total of 77 GB of data with the aid of 64 transmit antennas and four receive antennas, which is significantly higher than that of our previous eigen-beamforming transmit precoding-aided and distance-based ACM benchmark.
