This letter proposes a novel frequency channel blocking (FCB) scheme for millimeter-wave (MMW) entrance networks. In the FCB scheme, any frequency channel is determined to be blocked whether or not, based on not only the network throughput but also the newly defined fairness index. As the results, the FCB scheme yields better throughput and fairness performances with a little increase in computational complexity compared to the conventional scheme.
