Abstract: Systems and techniques for elevation beam design. Characteristics, such as number, distribution, and geographical location of elements subject to interference by elevation beams of a base station are analyzed, and a configuration for an antenna array is determined so as to create a set of elevation beams directed so as to avoid interference with the elements subject to interference by the base station. Configuration may, for example, include configuration of the antenna array so as to create a set of elevation beams exhibiting nulls and sidelobes in appropriate locations and at appropriate angles so as to avoid interference.

Abstract: Various communication systems may benefit from rerouting considerations. For example, fifth generation (5G) systems dealing with radio link failure detection and data rerouting, particularly mmWave 5G systems, may benefit from rapid rerouting methods and systems. A method can include transmitting, from an access point, a downlink control message to a user equipment. The method can also include attempting to detect a Fast-ACK transmission signal from the user equipment in response to the transmitted downlink control message. The method can further include transmitting a rerouting request for the user equipment when the Fast-ACK transmission signal is not detected.
