Specifically, by modeling\u0026nbsp;the variance of the beam alignment errors using the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB) of\u0026nbsp;angle-of-arrival (AoA) estimates and utilizing stochastic geometric techniques, this research aims to quantify\u0026nbsp;the loss in the achievable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and rate coverage of the network. The overall research\u0026nbsp;is divided into three phases: 1) Modeling and analysis of a mm-wave only network with\u0026nbsp;single-user beamforming at the BS and an isotropic antenna at the user, 2) Extension to a\u0026nbsp;multi-user (MU) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scenario, and 3) Extension to\u0026nbsp;a heterogeneous network consisting of sub-6 GHz and mm-wave BSs.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":"","field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"Analyzing the Performance of Millimeter-Wave Cellular Networks with SNR-Dependent Beam Alignment Errors"}],"uid":"28475","created_gmt":"2021-03-23 14:33:00","changed_gmt":"2021-03-23 14:33:00","author":"Daniela Staiculescu","boilerplate_text":"","field_publication":"","field_article_url":"","field_event_time":{"event_time_start":"2021-04-16T10:00:00-04:00","event_time_end":"2021-04-16T12:00:00-04:00","event_time_end_last":"2021-04-16T12:00:00-04:00","gmt_time_start":"2021-04-16 14:00:00","gmt_time_end":"2021-04-16 16:00:00","gmt_time_end_last":"2021-04-16 16:00:00","rrule":null,"timezone":"America\/New_York"},"extras":[],"groups":[{"id":"434371","name":"ECE Ph.D. Proposal Oral Exams"}],"categories":[],"keywords":[{"id":"102851","name":"Phd proposal"},{"id":"1808","name":"graduate students"}],"core_research_areas":[],"news_room_topics":[],"event_categories":[{"id":"1788","name":"Other\/Miscellaneous"}],"invited_audience":[{"id":"78771","name":"Public"}],"affiliations":[],"classification":[],"areas_of_expertise":[],"news_and_recent_appearances":[],"phone":[],"contact":[],"email":[],"slides":[],"orientation":[],"userdata":""}}}
