contents Due to the exponential increase in wireless devices and a diversification of network services, unprecedented challenges, such as managing heterogeneous data traffic and massive access demands, have arisen in next-generation wireless networks. To address these challenges, there is a pressing need for the evolution of multiple access schemes with advanced transceivers. Millimeter-wave (mmWave) communication emerges as a promising solution by offering substantial bandwidth and accommodating massive connectivities. Nevertheless, the inherent signaling directionality and susceptibility to blockages pose significant challenges for deploying multiple transceivers with narrow antenna beams. Consequently, beam management becomes imperative for practical network implementations to identify and track the optimal transceiver beam pairs, ensuring maximum received power and maintaining high-quality access service. In this context, we propose a Contextual Combinatorial Beam Management (CCBM) framework tailored for mmWave wireless networks. By leveraging advanced online probing techniques and integrating predicted contextual information, such as dynamic link qualities in spatial-temporal domain, CCBM aims to jointly optimize transceiver pairing and beam selection while balancing the network load. This approach not only facilitates multiple access effectively but also enhances bandwidth utilization and reduces computational overheads for real-time applications. Theoretical analysis establishes the asymptotically optimality of the proposed approach, complemented by extensive evaluation results showcasing the superiority of our framework over other state-of-the-art schemes in multiple dimensions.
