TECHNIQUES FOR MMWAVE WPAN COMMUNICATIONS WITH HIGH-DIRECTIONAL STEERABLE ANTENNAS COMBINING OMNI-DIRECTIONAL TRANSMISSIONS WITH BEAMFORMING TRAINING

摘要

An embodiment of the present invention provides a method for communicating in a millimeter wave (MMWAVE) wireless personal area network (WPAN) system using a reliable low-rate omni-directional communications mode implemented as TX-RX space scanning using directional antennas; and using a high-rate directional communications mode with beamformed directional antennas.
