Mobility-Aware Analysis of Directional Deafness in mmWave Communications

Abstract

Currently, the usage of Extended Reality (XR) device is limited due to high throughput and low latency requirements, which could be supported by the emerging millimeter-Wave (mmWave) communication. However, mmWaves suffer from high pathloss and to overcome that, beamforming techniques are used, which in turn introduces the problem of directional deafness. The problem of directional deafness is further aggravated when the mobility of directional antenna is taken into consideration. We assess the impact of mobility on directional deafness in mmWave communication.
