Abstract  Abstract

Methods and apparatus for establishment of a milli-meter Wave (mmW) link communication include initial selection of candidate mmW Base stations (mBs) and configuration of mmW acquisition resources and procedures, both with the assistance of the cellular network. Further methods transmit mmW acquisition beacons, process mmW acquisition beacons to achieve mmW beam alignment and timing synchronization, and uplink (UL) reporting via cellular or mmW links. In an example, a mmW wireless transmit/receive unit (WTRU) transmits millimeter wave (mmW) WTRU (mmW WTRU) information over a cellular system to a base station, receives a candidate list of candidate mmW base stations (mB) including mmW acquisition start timing information for the mBs in the candidate list. The mmW WTRU performs sliding window correlations using signature sequences corresponding to mBs and beams in the candidate list.
