Abstract
Low latency beamforming using phased antenna arrays is the key for practical deployment of envisioned millimeter wave (mmWave) Gbps mobile networks. This work aims towards reducing the overhead of the exhaustive sector-level sweep phase of the analog beamforming adopted in the IEEE 802.11ad standard. This system uses a reconfigurable antenna single RF chain in the sub-6 GHz new radio (NR) band to aid codebook-based beam selection in the mmWave band of the NR. The system exploits the congruence between the spatial propagation signatures of signals at both mmWave and sub-6 GHz frequencies to reduce the beam search space.
