Signals over millimeter wave (mmWave) bands suffer from severe path loss and are easily
blocked by obstacles, which greatly degrades the link quality and reliability of mmWave …

Commonly considered user association frameworks in millimeter-wave communications are
based on the sum rate maximization, and they essentially neglect user specific rate and …

In a millimeter wave (mmWave) network, user association–the process of deciding as to
which base station (BS) a given user should associate with–is a crucial process, which …

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication has been recognized as a key technology to
improve the rate performance of the next-generation wireless networks. However, the …

Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication has been regarded as one of the most promising
