IEEE PIMRC 2008 Special Session on
WLAN and WPAN Millimeterwave MultiGigabit Wireless Systems
Cannes, France, 15-18 Sept. 2008

The revolutionary advances in electronics during the past decades have
brought a myriad of different electronic devices into our lives. One emerging
trend for the next generation is networked communications between
these electronic devices to share the huge amount of data processed by
the individual units, for which fast and wireless connection is a
necessity. Many of such technical needs are expected to be addressed
by the emerging Wireless Personal Area Network (WPAN) and the future
generations of Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), for which
unlicensed bands near 60 GHz worldwide are favorably considered. The
unlicensed ample bandwidth available in this band (up to 7 GHz
depending on the region) will enable multi-gigabit rate data transfer
between such devices. Also, the high absorption rate of the
electromagnetic wave around this band would allow a tight signal
confinement within personal space with suppressed interference between
adjacent channels.
The on-going standardization effort for millimeter-wave multi-Gigabit
WPANs is already being made in IEEE802.15.3c and ISO based
Ecma-International TC48. Also, much interest has been shown for the
future Very High throughput (VHT) version of IEEE802.11 WLANs.
However, although some of the new enabling technologies to manage the
multi-gigabit data rate are proposed from the contributions to the
standardization, there are many wonderings about technologies such as
how the multi-Gigabit rates can be processed in hardware and what is
the leading edge of RF/antenna technology for the personal purpose,
and what is the technique to overcome the effect of non-line-of-sight
link. In addition, although the available bandwidth is huge in
comparison with other competing systems such as UWB, there are still
needs to increase the spectral efficiency under the consideration of
requirement of mm-wave hardware. Thus there is a need for the
community to look globally at all these important issues in order to
have millimeter-wave systems with very high data rate transfer
capability a reality.
