N2 - With the rapid growth of the mobile devices and increasingly diverse mobile services, the traditional mobile networks can hardly keep up with these trends. This asks for the 5G network to support ultra-large traffic and guarantee super-massive connections. Recently, the millimeter wave (mmWave) backhaul network is supposed to be a promising technology to significantly improve the network capacity and efficiently connect massive end users to the Internet. However, most studies just study on the network architecture and the physical layer technologies of 5G mmWave backhaul network, and few of them focus on the MAC layer technologies that directly affect its key performance indicators (KPIs). In this paper, we propose a MAC protocol framework for 5G mmWave backhaul network including the wireless frame structure, signalling, uplink/downlink/backhaul resource allocation framework, and the beamforming training procedure. Moreover, we design and implement the integrated link-system level simulation platform. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first work to design the MAC protocol framework and the integrated link-system simulation platform for 5G mmWave backhaul network.
