Abstract

A Large Intelligent Surface (LIS) is a recently pro-posed concept that relies on the integration of a vast number of antenna-elements over an entire surface able to transmit and/or receive information, especially suitable for high speed indoor communications and massive internet of things (IoT) applications. In this paper, we study the impact of terminal mobility on the performance of a panel-based LIS, considering different resource allocation approaches (including panel selection and/or panel-terminal association) and small panel areas. Such configuration represents a clear advantage in terms of flexibility, together with the fact that, from an economy of scale perspective, the production of this type of configuration choosing smaller...

A Large Intelligent Surface (LIS) is a recently pro-posed concept that relies on the integration of a vast number of antenna-elements over an entire surface able to transmit and/or receive information, especially suitable for high speed indoor communications and massive internet of things (IoT) applications. In this paper, we study the impact of terminal mobility on the performance of a panel-based LIS, considering different resource allocation approaches (including panel selection and/or panel-terminal association) and small panel areas. Such configuration represents a clear advantage in terms of flexibility, together with the fact that, from an economy of scale perspective, the production of this type of configuration choosing smaller areas seems more foreseeable.Our performance results show that there is no need to have a contagious distribution of panels, instead they can be physically separated according to a given distribution. It is also observed that, keeping a regularly fixed or predefined panel scheme, leading only to panel-terminal association, are able to fight against the unpredictability of terminal movements and overcome the computational complexity imposed by the optimum approach (that includes both panel selection and terminal-panel allocation stages), presenting maximum rate losses of 16-30%.
