An adaptive beam-forming algorithm is proposed based on beambook to determine the optimal beam directions for 60 GHz millimeter wave transceiver for a maximal transmission rate. Stochastic approximation algorithm is introduced to solve the discrete optimization problem that is established on the basis of the 60 GHz channel model in indoor environment by ray tracing technique. The search space spanned by the narrow beams is randomly sampled and an unbiased estimate to the objective function for each sample is acquired using the noisy channel estimates. Then
adaptive updates are performed recursively until the optimal solution is found from a well-designed beambook. Compared with existing beambook based beamforming algorithms
the proposed solution is more efficient in two aspects: low implementation complexity since neither the multiple beam patterns nor the exact channel state information is required; and high computational effectiveness due to the selective resource allocation mechanism. Simulation results show that a solution close to the global solution is achieved in a relatively small number of iterations
and the inevitable blockage impact in 60 GHz radio link is mitigated
which enhances the link robustness against obstructions.
