Due to the increasing density of wireless devices, the ever-growing demands for extremely high data rates, and the spectrum scarcity at the sub-6 GHz bands, making use of the spectrum-rich millimeter-wave (mmWave) frequencies is among the most important technology trends for future wireless networks. The major commercial potential of mmWave networks has led to mmWave being considered a key element for 5G-and-beyond mobile cellular networks, as well as for emerging Gbps-speed Wi-Fi networks based on the IEEE 802.11ad and draft IEEE 802.11ay standards. Despite this intense interest in mmWave communications from both the research community and industry, much fundamental research is still needed, especially at the higher layers of the networking stack.
