Definitions
Per-beam synchronization refers to a synchronization approach in wireless transmission where signal synchronization in time and frequency between the transmitter and the receiver is performed over each beam individually.
Background
Millimeter-wave massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) is promising for future wireless communications (Swindlehurst et al., 2014; Cui et al., 2018; Huang et al., To appear; Liu et al., 2018; Xiao et al., 2017). One challenge in realizing cellular wireless over millimeter-wave channels is to deal with the mobility issue (Roh et al., 2014; Andrews et al, 2017). For the same mobile speed, the Doppler spread of millimeter-wave channels is orders-of-magnitude larger than that of classical wireless channels, while the delay spread does not change significantly over different frequencies, which may lead to system implementation bottleneck. Consider wideband...
