Abstract
A high-speed indoor wireless communication system using coded orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) and working at 60 GHz is proposed and analyzed. An actual propagation environment consisting of a medium sized research laboratory, characterized by means of a ray-tracing technique, is considered for the analysis. In this contest the paper investigates and discusses the effects of frequency diversity, antenna sectorization, OFDM clustering, and different block coding strategies. Moreover, to characterize the communication between stationary indoor terminals at millimeter waves, a new definition of coverage is introduced. In order to evaluate the performance of the coded system in the actual environment, a suitable semianalytical algorithm is defined and applied. In the results the feasibility of a coded OFDM system for 155 Mbit/s packet transmission is checked. It is shown that all the line-of-sight (LOS) positions and 70% of the no LOS points can be covered in the scenario considered with a transmitted power of 10 dBmI documenti in SFERA sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
