Machine Learning to Improve Success Rates for Handovers from Sub-6 GHz LTE to Millimeter Wave Bands
Transmission over millimeter wave (mmWave) frequency bands is being adopted in fifth generation (5G) wireless communications. Even though the sub-6 GHz frequency bands continue to dominate deployments due to their better ability to penetrate and provide in-building coverage, the handover between mmWave and sub-6 GHz frequency bands is nonetheless inevitable to support higher data rates. The cost of a handover is a reduction in data rate, which 5G promises to increase.
