Directional initial access for millimeter wave cellular systems

Directional initial access for millimeter wave cellular systems

Communication in millimeter (mmWave) bands seems an evermore promising prospect for new generation cellular systems. However, due to high isotropic pathloss at these frequencies the use of directional antennas becomes mandatory. Directivity complicates many system design issues that are trivial in current cellular implementations. One such issue is initial access, …
