Hierarchical Codebook Design for Beamforming Training in Millimeter-Wave Communication.

In millimeter-wave communication, large antenna arrays are required to achieve high power gain by steering toward each other with narrow beams, which poses the problem to efficiently search the best beam direction in the angle domain at both Tx and Rx sides. As the exhaustive search is time consuming, hierarchical search has been widely accepted to reduce the complexity, and its performance is hig...
