Cell Selection Technique for Millimeter-Wave Cellular Systems with Cell and Beam Synchronization Signals

In this paper, a new cell selection technique for millimeter-wave (mmWave) cellular systems considering a hybrid beamforming structure in data transmission stage is proposed. Using the proposed technique with cell and beam synchronization signals (CBSS) transmitting simultaneously from multiple beams, the processing time required for channel estimation and cell selection can be reduced significantly. It is shown by simulation that additional gains in channel capacity can be achieved as compared to conventional technique.
