Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Millimeter wave (mmWave), especially the 60 GHz band, has been receiving much attention as a key enabler for the 5G cellular networks. Beamforming is tremendously used with mmWave transmissions to enhance the link quality and overcome the channel propagation loss. The current beamforming mechanism, proposed by the IEEE 802.11ad standard, is mainly based on exhaustive searching the best transmit (TX) and receive (RX) antenna beams. This beamforming mechanism requires a very high setup time, which makes it difficult to coordinate a multiple number of mmWave access points (APs) in mobile channel conditions as a 5G requirement. In this exhibition, we demonstrate a mmWave beamforming mechanism, which enables a mmWave AP to fast estimate the best beam to communicate with a user equipment (UE) using statistical learning. In this scheme, the fingerprints of the UE 5 GHz (Wi Fi) signal and 60 GHz (mmWave) best beam identification (ID) are collected in an offline phase on a grid of arbitrary learning points (LPs) in target environments. Therefore, by just comparing the current UE Wi-Fi signal with the pre-stored UE WiFi fingerprints, the mmWave AP can immediately estimate the best beam to communicate with the UE at its current position.
