mm-Wave communication employs directional beams to overcome high path loss. High data rate communication is typically along line-of-sight (LoS). In outdoor environments, such communication is susceptible to temporary blockage by pedestrians…
Management of narrow directional beams is critical for mm-wave communication systems. Translational or rotational motion of the user can cause misalignment of transmit and receive beams with the base station losing track of the mobile.…
Millimeter Wave (mmWave) communication systems can provide high data rates, but the system performance may degrade significantly due to interruptions by mobile blockers such as humans or vehicles. A high frequency of interruptions and…
In the millimeter waves (mmWave) bands considered for 5G and beyond, the use of very high frequencies results in the interruption of communication whenever there is no line of sight between the transmitter and the receiver. Blockages have…
In this letter, the mmAlert system, predicting millimeter wave (mmWave) link blockage during data communication, is elaborated and demonstrated. The passive sensing method is adopted for mobile blocker detection, where two receive beams…
The sensitivity of millimeter wave (mmWave) signals to blockages is a fundamental challenge for mobile mmWave communication systems. The sudden blockage of the line-of-sight (LOS) link between the base station and the mobile user normally…
We address the problem of pedestrian blockage in outdoor mm-Wave networks, which can disrupt Line of Sight (LoS) communication and result in an outage. This necessitates either reacquisition as a new user that can take up to 1.28 sec in 5G…
Blocking objects (blockages) between a transmitter and receiver cause wireless communication links to transition from line-of-sight (LOS) to non-line-of-sight (NLOS) propagation, which can greatly reduce the received power, particularly at…
In this paper, a cooperative passive sensing framework for millimeter wave (mmWave) communication systems is proposed and demonstrated in a scenario with one mobile signal blocker. Specifically, in the uplink communication with at least two…
The upsurge in wireless devices and real-time service demands force the move to a higher frequency spectrum. Millimetre-wave (mmWave) and terahertz (THz) bands combined with the beamforming technology offer significant performance…
This paper presents a method, namely mmTracking, for device trajectory tracking in a millimeter wave (mmWave) communication system. In mmTracking, the base station (BS) relies on one line-of-sight (LoS) path and at least two…
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) propagation is known to be severely affected by the blockage of the line-of-sight (LoS) path. In contrast to microwave systems, at shorter mmWave wavelengths such blockage can be caused by human bodies, where their…
Many operators have been bullish on the role of millimeter-wave (mmWave) communications in fifth-generation (5G) mobile broadband because of its capability of delivering extreme data speeds and capacity. However, mmWave comes with…
Millimeter wave (mmWave) communication is a key component of 5G and beyond. Harvesting the gains of the large bandwidth and low latency at mmWave systems, however, is challenged by the sensitivity of mmWave signals to blockages; a sudden…
In unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) assisted millimeter wave (mmWave) communication, appropriate user-UAV association is crucial for improving system performance. In mmWave communication, user throughput largely depends on the line of sight…
In spite of its potential advantages, the large-scale implementation of the device-to-device (D2D) communications has yet to be realized, mainly due to severe interference and lack of enough bandwidth in the microwave ($\mu$W) band.…
Millimeter wave (mmWave) and sub-terahertz communication systems rely mainly on line-of-sight (LOS) links between the transmitters and receivers. The sensitivity of these high-frequency LOS links to blockages, however, challenges the…
Millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum is expected to support data-intensive applications that require ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC). However, mmWave links are highly sensitive to blockage, which may lead to disruptions in…
In this paper, we consider millimeter Wave (mmWave) technology to provide reliable wireless network service within factories where links may experience rapid and temporary fluctuations of the received signal power due to dynamic blockers,…
Overcoming the link blockage challenges is essential for enhancing the reliability and latency of millimeter wave (mmWave) and sub-terahertz (sub-THz) communication networks. Previous approaches relied mainly on either (i)…
