Abstract

This paper proposes a sectored-cell framework for mmWave communication. It consists of multiple concurrent beams generated from a partially-connected hybrid precoder at an eNodeB (eNB) to serve a dense user population in urban scenarios. Multiple beams sweep the cell in a round-robin fashion to serve the sectors with fair scheduling opportunities. Each beam serves all the users located within a sector using orthogonal frequency division multiple access. We aim to estimate an optimum beamwidth and an optimum number of beams required to maximize the average of long-run user rates with a given power budget for transmission and hardware consumption at the eNB. Simulation results demonstrate that employing higher beams increases the side-lobe interference still, the achievable average long-run user rate improves on account of longer sector sojourn time and higher frequency reuse. On the other hand, employing a very narrow beam is also not optimal.
