Beam-Sweeping Design Based on Nearest Users Position and Beam in 5G mmWave Networks

The beam sweeping procedure estimates the beamforming directions, or beams, to be used for downlink millimeter-wave cellular transmissions to an incoming user entering the cell. We propose three new approaches for the choice of the sequence by which beams are explored (the beam-search sequence), in...
