contents Communication systems operating at high frequency bands must use narrow beams to compensate the high path loss. However, it is incredibly time-consuming to achieve beam alignment between the transmitter and receiver due to the large volume of beam space with narrow beams. The high latency of initial beam establishment will challenge the implementation of future 6G networks at high frequency bands. To tackle this problem, this paper proposes an initial beam establishment method using the material sensing results from joint communications and sensing (JCAS) systems. The reflection loss (RL) induced by each reflector can be predicted by exploiting the pre-identified material information of reflectors in the environment. The base station (BS) first scans the beam directions with low RL and establishes the connection immediately without sweeping the rest of the beam directions. In this way, the latency of initial beam establishment is significantly reduced.
