Abstract(in English) To substantially alleviate the human blockage problem in mmWave communications, this paper proposes a proactive handover system based on human blockage prediction using RGB and depth (RGB-D) cameras. RGB-D camera images can be used to estimate the mobility of pedestrians and to predict the time when human blockage will occur. On the basis of this information, the proposed system conducts a handover before human blockage degrades throughput largely, enabling the system to ensure quality of service and maximize the system throughput. The innovative experimental results demonstrate that the proactive handover system can considerably reduce the duration of throughput degradation caused by human blockage relative to the reactive scheme based on measuring throughput performance.
