Multi-Backup Beams for Instantaneous Link Recovery in mmWave Communications

Multi-Backup Beams for Instantaneous Link Recovery in mmWave Communications

In this paper, a novel link recover scheme is proposed for standalone (SA) millimeter wave communications. Once the main beam between the base station (BS) and the mobile station (MS) is blocked, then a bundle-beam is radiated that covers the spatial direction of the blocked beam. These beams are ge...
