Abstract(in English) Distributed antenna (DA) system using high-frequency bands such as millimeter-wave and sub-terahertz is expected to be one of promising method to increase remarkably the capacity of future wireless communications. Because the high-frequency bands system can provide a wider bandwidth than the conventional wireless communications and the distributed antenna system improves the spatial multiplexing transmission performance by reducing spatial correlations of the MIMO(Multi-Input Multi-Output) channel in LoS(Line-of-Sight) environments. However, the overhead of beam searching for antennas beamforming in the system is larger than the conventional wireless communications, because the beamwidth of antennas is needed to be narrower to compensate large propagation attenuation of the high frequency bands and the beams searching are needed to be operated for all of the DAs. In this paper, in order to solve the problem, we propose simultaneous beam search scheme in which multiple DAs simultaneously search optimal beam the same frequency resource, so that the overhead is independent of the number of DAs. Numerical simulations and experimental evaluations show that for most of the evaluated user equipment (UE) locations, the reduced level of received power at the UE due to the DA/beam selected by the proposed method is less than 4.15 dB compared to the DA/beam selected by the conventional method.
