DESCRIPTION:Title: "Sometimes Less is More: Guessing one's way to reduced b
 lockage"\n\nAbstract: High frequency (mmWave and higher) systems are being
  used for curb-to-home systems and indoor networks. In these systems\, the
  transmitter and receiver positions are generally fixed\, while the enviro
 nment between the transmitter and receiver can shift suddenly and cause bl
 ockages.  Using two simultaneous narrow beams can mitigate the blockage du
 e to pesky animals and leaves. However\, a phase and time delay can cause 
 a drop in rate.  This talk discusses a simple 1-bit feedback system that g
 uesses the a phase and delay that is good enough to increase the transmiss
 ion rate.  As the received channel can change quickly due to blockages and
  thus require a different transmission rate\, we propose a low-complexity 
 feedback system that adjusts the transmission rate so that when one of the
  beams is blocked\, an outage is prevented.
