The main idea behind DBF is simple: distribute the message within many disperse antenna elements and then coordinate the retransmission in the direction of the intended destination [13, 14].
Also, if e ′ and e are both scheduled to be active in slot t, how many and which antenna elements should be selected to use at each transmitter?
As in [24], we consider continuous linear arrays of infinitely many infinitesimally small unipolarized antenna elements.2 Each of the two transmitters T j, j=1,2, is equipped with a linear array of length (2{L}_{T_{j}}), and each receiver, R i, i=1,2, is equipped with a linear array of length (2{L}_{R_{i}}).
Moreover, in many applications, it is feasible to retain all receive antenna elements, so that the task reduces to selection of the optimal transmit antenna subset.
Geometry-based models emulate the physical reality and thus reproduce many effects implicitly: small-scale fading, correlation of the signals at different antenna elements, and even large-scale changes of delays and directions.
The system, which costs around $3,500 plus the cost of DirecTV service, uses an array of 260 tiny individual antenna elements to provide reception as the vehicle moves.
In the random antenna selection, M antenna elements are selected out of entire N antenna elements for each user.

There are single-antenna nodes which want to communicate with each other through a multi-antenna RS with antenna elements.
Beam-steering antennas operate equivalently with conventional linear array antennas by dynamically steering beam patterns using parasitic antenna elements.
