The dense small-cell deployment produces a huge amount of backhaul traffic, and directional communication poses a significant challenge. In this paper, we propose a dynamic frame reconfiguration scheme which provides greater flexibility for dynamic traffic adaptation in multi-hop mmWave relay backhaul. This allows better exploitation of the traffic dynamics in smallcell. In addition, we present a traffic load and link-quality aware multi-hop relay backhaul scheduling algorithm to maximize the overall system performance. The extensive simulation results demonstrate the superiority of our proposed algorithm when compared with other schemes. © 2017 IEEE.Millimeter waves; Scheduling algorithms; Backhaul networks; Backhaul traffics; Cellular network; Directional communications; Extensive simulations; Millimeter waves (mmwave); Reconfiguration schemes; Wireless backhauling; 5G mobile communication systemsconference paper10.1109/vtcspring.2017.81083882-s2.0-85040570205
