Blockage and directivity in 60 GHz wireless personal area networks: from cross-layer model to multihop MAC design

Abstract: Abstract-We present a cross-layer modeling and design approach for multiGigabit indoor wireless personal area networks (WPANs) utilizing the unlicensed millimeter (mm) wave spectrum in the 60 GHz band. Our approach accounts for the following two characteristics that sharply distinguish mm wave networking from that at lower carrier frequencies. First, mm wave links are inherently directional: directivity is required to overcome the higher path loss at smaller wavelengths, and it is feasible with compact, low-co… Show more

“…The major drawbacks with using mmWave is huge propagation loss, directivity, and due to weak diffraction ability, it will become sensitive to blockage by obstacles such as humans and machines. For instance, blockage by a human penalizes the link budget by 20-30 dB [24]. The main application of mmWave in 5G will be niche applications and small-cells [25], [26], but for industrial automation it is more difficult to see its applicability because industrial environments evolve over time, as well as being cluttered with metallic equipment and obstacles.…”
