We design a lightweight beam-searching algorithm for mobile millimeter-wave systems. We construct and maintain a set of path skeletons, i.e., potential paths between a user and the serving base station to substantially expedite the beam-searching process. To exploit the spatial correlations of the channels, we propose an efficient algorithm that measures the similarity of the skeletons and re-executes the beam-searching procedure only when the old one becomes obsolete. We identify and optimize several tradeoffs between: i) the beam-searching overhead and the instantaneous rate of the users, and ii) the number of users and the update overhead of the path skeletons. Simulation results in an outdoor environment with real building map data show that the proposed method can significantly improve the performance of beam-searching in terms of latency, energy consumption and achievable throughout.
Future millimeter-wave (mmWave) systems, 5G cellular or WiFi, must rely on highly directional links to overcome severe pathloss in these frequency bands. Establishing such links requires the mutual discovery of the transmitter and the receiver %in th
The use of millimeter wave (mmWave) spectrum for commercial wireless communications is expected to offer data rates in the order of Gigabits-per-second, thus able to support future applications such as Vehicle-to-Vehicle or Vehicle-to-Infrastructure
While millimeter wave (mmWave) communications promise high data rates, their sensitivity to blockage and severe signal attenuation presents challenges in their deployment in urban settings. To overcome these effects, we consider a distributed coopera
The concept of reconfigurable intelligent surface (RIS) has been proposed to change the propagation of electromagnetic waves, e.g., reflection, diffraction, and refraction. To accomplish this goal, the phase values of the discrete RIS units need to b
Switch-based hybrid network is a promising implementation for beamforming in large-scale millimetre wave (mmWave) antenna arrays. By fully exploiting the sparse nature of the mmWave channel, such hybrid beamforming reduces complexity and power consum
