DESCRIPTION:Dr. Muhammad Saad Zia will give a technical talk titles "Effect
 s of Beam Misalignment on the Performance of Millimeter-Wave Cellular Netw
 orks". The talk presents an approach to model the effect of beam alignment
  errors arising due to inaccurate channel estimation and analyze the impac
 t on the system-level performance of a directional millimeter-wave (mm-wav
 e) cellular network. Specifically\, by modeling the variance of the beam a
 lignment errors in terms of link parameters and utilizing stochastic geome
 tric techniques\, the loss in the achievable signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) a
 nd rate coverage of the network is quantified. The talk considers two netw
 ork configurations: 1) Modeling and analysis of a mm-wave only network wit
 h single-user beamforming at the BS and an isotropic antenna at the user\,
  and 2) Extension to a heterogeneous network consisting of sub-6 GHz and m
 m-wave BSs.\n\nSpeaker(s): Saad\, \n\nBldg: The Hubble Auditorium\, 1 Anal

 The talk considers two network configurations: 1) Modeling and analysis of
