Inverse Multipath Fingerprinting for Millimeter Wave V2I Beam Alignment
Efficient beam alignment is a crucial component in millimeter wave systems with analog beamforming, especially in fast-changing vehicular settings. This paper uses the vehicle’s position (e.g., available via GPS) to query the multipath fingerprint database, which provides prior knowledge of potential pointing directions for reliable beam alignment. The approach is the inverse of fingerprinting ...
متن کاملInferBeam: A Fast Beam Alignment Protocol for Millimeter-wave Networking
We introduce fast millimeter-wave base station (BS) and its antenna sector selection for user equipment based on its location. Using a conditional random field inference model with specially designed parameters, which are robust to change of environment, InferBeam allows the use of measurement samples on best beam selection at a small number of locations to infer the rest dynamically. Compared ...
متن کاملEfficient Beam Alignment in Millimeter Wave Systems Using Contextual Bandits
In this paper, we investigate the problem of beam alignment in millimeter wave (mmWave) systems, and design an optimal algorithm to reduce the overhead. Specifically, due to directional communications, the transmitter and receiver beams need to be aligned, which incurs high delay overhead since without a priori knowledge of the transmitter/receiver location, the search space spans the entire an...
متن کاملAdaptive Millimeter Wave Beam-Alignment for Dual-Polarized Broadcast MIMO Systems
Fifth generation wireless systems are expected to employ multiple antenna communication at millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies for smaller cells within heterogeneous cellular networks (HCNs). The high path-loss of mmWave as well as physical obstructions make it difficult to access mobile users using mmWave. To compensate for the severe path loss, mmWave systems may employ a beam-alignment algo...
متن کاملMillimeter Wave Multi-Beam-Switching Antenna
The paper introduces a high gain end-fire printed antenna operating at 14 GHz with a bandwidth of 2 GHz. The 3x3 antenna sub-array formed of this element is used to present its beam steering and multi-beam-switching capabilities for millimeter wave Massive MIMO antenna arrays of 5G networks. The co-existence of these two techniques in a Massive MIMO sub-array, aided by the use of a simple two v...
