Aperture Selection for CAP Arrays (CAPAs)
Abstract: The concept of aperture selection is proposed for continuous aperture array (CAPA)-based communications. The achieved performance is analyzed in an uplink scenario by considering both line-of-sight (LoS) and non-line-of-sight (NLoS) scenarios. In the LoS scenario, the optimal selection strategy is demonstrated to follow the nearest neighbor criterion, and the resulting signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is analyzed. In the NLoS scenario, the achieved outage probability along with the diversity order is revealed. Numerical results are provided to demonstrate that aperture selection effectively maintains satisfactory performance by leveraging selection diversity while simultaneously reducing the implementation complexity of CAPAs.
