1. A system for sector beamset management in a wireless telecommunication network utilizing millimeter wave (mmWave) communication, the system comprising:
at least one cell site having one or more antennas, the at least one cell site associated with the wireless telecommunication network utilizing the mmWave communication;
one or more processors associated with the at least one cell site; and
computer memory storing computer-usable instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, perform operations comprising:
receiving at least one sector metric for a first sector of the wireless telecommunication network utilizing the mmWave communication, wherein the at least one sector metric includes beamset data corresponding to the first sector;
storing the beamset data at a primary-secondary cell and a special cell of a second sector;
causing at least one antenna of the one or more antennas to change a beamset corresponding to the second sector based on the stored beamset data;
receiving sector metrics for a third sector of the wireless telecommunication network utilizing the mmWave communication; and
storing the sector metrics at the primary-secondary cell and the special cell of the second sector, wherein the change to the beamset is further based on the stored sector metrics for the third sector.
