Deep Reinforcement Learning-Based Beam Training for Spatially Consistent Millimeter Wave Channels

The fifth generation wireless systems are starting to exploit the large bandwidths available in the millimeter-wave (mmWave) spectrum to provide high data rates. The exploitation of mmWave requires the use of compact antenna arrays with hundreds of antenna elements, which leads to very directional beam patterns. The beams at both the transmitter and the receiver are trained periodically to maintai...
