USER EQUIPMENT AND METHOD FOR CELL ASSOCIATION AND BEAMFORMING TRAINING WITH A MMWAVE CAPABLE SMALL CELL

摘要

Embodiments relate to systems, methods, and computer readable media to enable a millimeter wave capable small cell (MCSC) devices to receive a handover of a user equipment from a universal mobile telecommunications system terrestrial radio access node B (eNB.) In particular, systems and methods are described for user equipment (UE) association with a MCSC operating as a booster for an eNB, including identification of and communication on preferred cell sector between the UE and the MCSC.
