5th Invited talk - LINCS Annual Workshop with its Scientific Commitee

“Adaptive Beam Management for Mobile mm-Wave Devices” by P.R. Kumar (Texas A&M University).

In the mm-wave band, narrow beams are used to overcome path loss. They can be used to support high data rates with reduced interference. However, it is necessary to manage the narrow directional beams since they can become misaligned as users move, blocked as users rotate, or lose connectivity as users move out of range. We will present an account of three protocols for these problems – BeamSurfer, Unblock and Terra. We will also address the general problem of detecting a Man-In-the-Middle in wireless communication, and present a protocol, Reveal, to do so. [Joint work with Santosh Ganji].
