Various embodiments of a self-adapted multi-antenna selection technique based on broadband wireless access network for high-speed railway are provided. Compared with conventional techniques, the proposed strategy adaptively pairs antennas of an antenna array associated with a base station in response to the fast-changing distance between the base station and the antenna array on a high-speed train. The proposed technique achieves a channel matrix with full rank and thereby improves the channel capacity. This Abstract is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.
