System and method for communication sub-channel bandwidth adjustment in a millimeter wave (MMW) communication system
A method for adjusting communication symbol sub-carrier frequency spacing based on a communication symbol priority at a communication beam transition location includes identifying a communication beam transition location in time in a communication transmission time interval (TTI) where a communication beam transition will occur, and determining a configuration of a communication symbol at least partly based on the identified communication beam transition location and a priority of the communication symbol. The configuration may comprise an extended guard period created by adjusting the sub-carrier frequency spacing of at least one of the symbols that occurs at least one of immediately following the communication beam transition location and immediately preceding the communication beam transition location, so that the sub-carrier frequency spacing for the symbol that occurs at least one of immediately following the communication beam transition location and immediately preceding the beam transition location is different than a sub-carrier frequency spacing for a symbol that does not at least one of immediately precede the communication beam transition location and immediately follow the communication beam transition location.
