Alexander von Humboldt Professorship Research Project : Foundations and Architectures for the Next Generation of Wireless Networks

Millimeter-wave (mm-Wave) cellular systems are a promising option for a very high data rate communication because of the large bandwidth available at mm-Wave frequencies. To compensate the large path-loss exponent in the mmWave range of the spectrum, directional beamforming with a large antenna gain at both the user side and base-station side is necessary; this boost the signal-to-noise ratio t...
