“…In order to mitigate the blockage issues in mmWave systems, there are several physical and MAC layer proposals such as exploiting reflection paths from walls [17,18], using intelligent reflecting surfaces [19,20], using different antenna gains [21], and integrating mmWave with lower frequencies [1,22]. There are also some works proposing deflection routing schemes for throughput improvement and mitigating blockage issues [23,24].…”

The spectrum-rich millimeter wave (mmWave) frequencies have the potential to alleviate the spectrum crunch that the wireless and cellular operators are already experiencing. However, compared with traditional wireless communication in the sub-6 GHz bands, due to small wavelengths most objects such as human body, cause significant additional path losses (up to 20 dB), which can entirely break the mmWave link. Also, mmwave links suffer from limited range of communication. In this paper, we resort to network layer solutions to demonstrate the benefits of multi-hop routing in mitigating the blockage issue and extending communication range in mmWave band. To this end, we develop a hop-by-hop multi-path routing protocol that finds one primary and one backup next-hop per destination in order to guarantee reliable and robust communication under extreme stress conditions. System-level simulations based on the IEEE 802.11ad specifications demonstrate that the proposed routing protocol provides a reliable end-to-end throughput performance, while satisfying the latency requirements.

Applying Machine Learning algorithms in wireless communication has shown increasing interest due to the increase of demand on capacity, the increase of the number of users, and equipment sharing the limited frequency spectrum resources. Also, the need for a reduction in power consumption at base stations and the optimization of radio coverage make ML an attractive and promising technique. In this paper, we investigate the usage of Support Vector Machine (SVM) technique for Direction of Arrival (DoA) estimation in the millimeter-wave band. The objective is to predict the location of a user in a given area by analyzing the received signals at an array of antennas, using an SVM-based model. The first phase of this technique consists of the training phase that aims to identify the characteristics of each class, and that is based on a set of training samples. The second phase consists of testing the trained model using a set of samples/users. We have carried out a set of simulations based on the developed model. The results are promising in terms of the accuracy of determining the DoA, taking into consideration a channel with noise and multipath.
