Abstract
The disclosure includes embodiments for executing a beam alignment for a millimeter wave (mmWave) communication based on position data. In some embodiments, a method for an ego vehicle includes determining a beam sweeping direction setting for a mmWave beam alignment with an endpoint based on position data that describes a geographic location of the endpoint. The method includes modifying an operation of a Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) radio of the ego vehicle to perform the mmWave beam alignment with the endpoint based on the beam sweeping direction setting so that an efficiency of the mmWave beam alignment is improved.
