Abstract
Aspects of mmWave beam tracking and beam sweeping are described, for example, an apparatus can include an antenna array including sub-arrays and processing circuitry configured to perform beamforming, beam tracking, and management thereof at the antenna sub-arrays. The processing circuitry can further be configured to determine the angle of arrival of a received signal received in response to performing the beamforming function and adjust phase shifters of the apparatus according to the angle of arrival. Other apparatuses, systems and methods are described.
