Propagation at millimeter waves band, i.e. up from 30 GHz, is very susceptible to path loss attenuation, which can be mitigated using highly directional antennas. Hence, the usage of millimeter waves band in ad hoc networks increases the complexity of neighbor discovery since the knowledge of neighbors’ physical location becomes essential to proceed with communication. To face these challenges, multiband protocols have been proposed, which uses an omnidirectional control channel in a different band from millimeter waves data channel. Due to unstable characteristics of millimeter waves channel, the control channel is used to transmit information concerning neighbor discovery. The two protocols proposed in this work rely on this feature and aim to build a global knowledge about nodes’ location as well as to maintain it in the case of nodes mobility or if some obstacle arises. Both protocols are compared with another protocol found in the literature in terms of delay on the neighbor discovery
