Exploiting the 60 GHz Band for Local Wireless Multimedia Access: Prospects and Future Directions

Overview This paper addresses basic issues regarding the design and development of wireless access and wireless LAN systems that will operate in the 60 GHz band as part of the fourth-generation (4G) system. The 60 GHz band is of much interest since this is the band in which a massive amount of spectral space (5 GHz) has been allocated worldwide for dense wireless local communications. The paper gives an overview of 60 GHz channel characteristics and puts them in their true perspective. In addition, the paper discusses how to achieve the exploitation of the abundant bandwidth resource for all kinds of short-range communications.
