Initial Beam Association in Millimeter Wave Cellular Systems: Analysis and Design Insights
Wireless communication via millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies is a key component of future cellular systems. mmWave deployments will use beamforming with large antenna arrays by both the base stations and mobile stations to ensure sufficient received signal power. Prior work on coverage and rate of mmWave cellular networks focused mainly on the case when base stations and mobile users beamfomring vectors are perfectly designed for maximum beamforming gains.
