3. Target Applications • Simple high-speed connections between PCs and peripherals (GbE, IEEE1394, USB…) • High-speed multimedia connections, heavy content downloads (video, music…) • Office applications, ad-hoc meeting… Ichihiko Toyoda, NTT

4. Application Requirements • High speed connection (> 2 Gbit/s) • Low power consumption • Small size Ichihiko Toyoda, NTT

5. Characteristics of 60-GHz Band • Broad bandwidth available. • Practical small high-gain antennas. • Large propagation loss. • Underdeveloped mmW RF parts. Ichihiko Toyoda, NTT

6. Comparison of Modulation Schemes Ichihiko Toyoda, NTT

7. Bandwidth or Power efficiency? • Trade-off between frequency and power efficiency. • Power efficiency essential for WPAN applications. • Frequency efficiency not critical in 60-GHz band due to broad bandwidth. • Binary modulation suitable for WPAN applications. • FSK/MSK enables use of PAs in high-efficiency regions. Ichihiko Toyoda, NTT

8. SC-modulation or OFDM? • Directional antennas essential in 60-GHz band due to large propagation loss. This results in less multi-path fading. • Underdeveloped mmW RF parts, such as PA and LO. However, OFDM requires large back-off for PAs and high stability and low phase noise for LOs. • OFDM requires complex signal processing which consumes more electricity. Ichihiko Toyoda, NTT

9. 59 66 Channel Plan • Binary modulation requires wide bandwidth. • 4 independent channels cannot be allocated in 7 GHz. • Overlapped allocation is OK due to large propagation loss and low power operation. • Another option is multi-value modulation like 4FSK and QPSK. Ichihiko Toyoda, NTT

10. Link Budget Ichihiko Toyoda, NTT

11. Link Budget Required C/N = Theoretical C/N + Implementation loss (3 dB) + Inter Symbol Interference (3 dB) Ichihiko Toyoda, NTT

12. Performance Evaluation Direct signal Ricean (K=20 dB) • Assume 2-raymodel. • Delay time (t) much greater than symbol period (T). • Reflected level lower than -20 dB to direct signal. † 20 dB Delay signal Rayleigh t t>>T † T.

13. Performance Evaluation • Directional antennas effectively reduce the effect of multi-path fading. • Degradation by multi-path fading is less than 2 dB. Ichihiko Toyoda, NTT

14. Conclusion • Power efficiency is the most important factor for mmW WPAN. • Broad bandwidth is available in 60-GHz band. • Directional antennas are essential due to the large propagation loss in 60-GHz band. These reduce multi-path fading effect. • Single carrier modulation system is sufficient for WPAN system. Ichihiko Toyoda, NTT
