Abstract
Methods and systems for rectifying deteriorated channel conditions on a communication link are described. In response to the detection of a link deterioration event, a cluster of beams about a currently utilized beam pair can be trialed to determine a suitable, alternate pair of beams on which to establish a communication link. In turn, in the case of a link blockage event, a set of beams having a relatively large azimuthal angle with respect to a currently utilized beam pair can be trialed to determine a suitable beam pair for further communication.
