Channel enhancement in millimeter wavelength wireless access networks
A base station (anchor node) determines that a channel quality for a UE is less than a threshold quality, and commands one or more base stations to adjust a periodicity of performing a beam sweep with the UE based on whether said channel quality is determined to be less than the threshold quality. A base station (mmW base station) adjusts a periodicity for performing a beam sweep with a UE based on a channel quality associated with the UE, and performs the beam sweep at the adjusted periodicity. The beam sweep is a plurality of transmissions of a beam in a plurality of different transmit spatial directions by one of the base station or the UE and a plurality of scans of the beam in a plurality of different scan spatial directions by an other of the one of the base station or the UE.
