Receiver Adaptive Beamforming and Interference of Indoor Environments in mmWave

We consider networks consisting of nodes equipped with large antenna count mmWave arrays enabling narrow beam patterns. For the first time, we investigate and quantify the adverse impact of interference on network capacity for these very narrow beams. Network capacity is studied in terms of both node density as well as antenna array size. Finally, we show a distributed adaptive receiver algorithm that can reduce the adverse interference impact up to 60%.
