TL;DR: This paper provides the first comparative end- to-end evaluation of the performance of the LTE and mmWave technologies in a vehicular scenario and shows that, although LTE still represents a promising access solution to guarantee robust and fair connections, mmWaves satisfy the foreseen extreme throughput demands of most emerging automotive applications.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors proposed simplifications to improve the trade-off between accuracy and complexity in ray-tracing simulations at mmWaves by reducing the total number of MPCs, and evaluated the effect of such simplifications through end-to-end simulations, testing different configuration parameters, propagation scenarios, and higher-layer protocol implementations.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors characterize the value of information (VoI) provided by each data source, to prioritize the transmissions that have greatest importance for the target applications, and investigate efficient data dissemination methods to tackle capacity issues.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of measurement frameworks for initial access in mmWave cellular networks in terms of detection accuracy, reactiveness and overhead, using parameters recently standardized by the 3GPP and a channel model based on real-world measurements is presented.

TL;DR: It is argued that the proposed scheme enables fair and robust cell selection, in addition to efficient and periodical tracking of the user, in the presence of the channel variability expected at mmWaves.
