5G-NR is beginning to be widely deployed in the mmWave frequencies in urban areas in the
US and around the world. Due to the directional nature of mmWave signal propagation …

The initial access in Millimeter wave (mmWave) 5G communications is very challenging and
time consuming. In general, mmWave and terahertz communications require the use of …

This survey provides the reader with the open literature on the detailed operational
scenarios of Target Cell Search (TCS) in both 3G and 4G systems, with a particular …

Wireless access technologies are emerging to enable high data rates for mobile users and
novel applications that encompass both human and machine-type interactions. An essential …

For industrial Internet of Things network operators, undesired and abrupt network failure is a
critical problem to be resolved quickly. In order to provide reliable communication services to …

We present a novel approach to predict and characterize the antenna's radiation pattern
using an asymmetric lemniscate. Directional antennas are usually approximated by a …
