Performance evaluation of a MAC protocol for radio over fiber wireless LAN operating in the 60-GHz band

چکیده
Wireless networks using radio over fiber (RoF) technology operating in millimeter-wave bands have been suggested as promising solutions to meet increasing user bandwidth and mobility demands. A system based on this technology has properties quite different from those of conventional WLAN systems in that every room in a building hosts at least one picocell having its own base station (BS). Thus a challenging problem lies in the medium access control (MAC) protocol design so that it can support QoS requirements as well as a fast and easy handover. A MAC protocol (Chess Board Protocol) based on frequency switching (FS) codes has been proposed by the authors considering the situation [7]. In this paper performance evaluation results for simple six variants of it are described and discussed.

متن کاملA Full-Duplex, Dual-Polarization 10Gbps Radio over Fiber system with wavelength reuse for upstream signal
This study presents a full-duplex Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) system providing the users' wireless access with a bit rate of 10 Gbps over 40 GHz radio carrier. This system can be used in a centralized radio access network (C-RAN) architecture because we provide a fully analog front haul link between central station and base station. We can consider it as infrastructure between remote radio heads (RR...
متن کاملRadio-over-Fiber based architecture for seamless wireless indoor communication in the 60GHz band
In order to satisfy the increasing demand of wireless broadband multimedia services, much attention has been paid to the 60 GHz band where as much as 5 GHz of spectrum has been reserved. However, in the indoor environment, the propagation of signals at this millimeter wave band is strongly hindered by walls, people and their movement, furniture, etc. As a result, a mobile user might experience ...
