A system and method are provided to trigger re-beamforming based on an algorithm that assesses various link characteristics. The algorithm is based on the ability of a 60 GHz receiving device to track and feedback a Received Signal Strength Indication (RSSI) to a 60 GHz data packet transmitter. By automatically analyzing RSSI values across a range of data packets, including consecutive data packets, a link degradation trend is predicted. When link degradation crosses, or is predicted to cross, a predetermined threshold, re-beamforming is triggered by the algorithm. Variables in the algorithm and the predetermined thresholds used by the algorithm can be automatically or manually modified to maintain a balance between appropriately triggering the re-beamforming when the conditions arise without unnecessarily triggering the re-beamforming thereby causing unneeded interruptions in regular data flow. |
