Relay when blocked: A hop-by-hop mmWave cooperative transmission protocol

Obstacles are generally treated as harmful objects for millimeter wave (mmWave) networks due to the directional transmission of mmWave signals and the blockage effects of the obstacles. In this letter, smart antennas are deployed at each blockage to exploit the directivity of the mmWave signal such...
