A significant innovation for future indoor wireless networks is the use of the mmWave frequency band. However, an important challenge comes from the restricted propagation conditions in this band, which necessitates the use of beamforming and associated beam management procedures, including, for instance, beam tracking or beam prediction. A possible solution to the beam management problem is to use artificial-intelligence-based procedures to learn the hidden spatial propagation patterns of the channel and to use this knowledge to predict the best beam directions.
