TECHNIQUES FOR RATE SELECTION IN MILLIMETER-WAVE COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS

摘要

Disclosed is a device, a computer implemented method, and an apparatus for rate selection in a millimeter-wave communication system. The method includes performing antenna training on at least one antenna of the millimeter-wave communication system; conducting a rate search to select a modulation coding scheme (MCS) among a plurality of MCSs based upon an antenna configuration provided by the antenna training; engaging a rate lock on the selected MCS in response to determining that a reliable radio link has been found among the plurality of MCSs, wherein the selected MCS defines a constellation configuration and a code rate for transmitting millimeter-wave signals; and performing re-training of the antenna upon an event including any one of: failing to find a MCS which supports the reliable radio link, and determining a drop in reliability of the radio link.
