Improving and Extending Indoor Connectivity Using Relay Nodes for 60 GHz Applications

Abstract

A 60 GHz wireless system can provide very high data rates. However, it has a tremendous amount of both Free Space Path Loss (FSPL) and penetration loss. To mitigate these losses and extend the system range; we propose techniques for using relay nodes. The relay node has been positioned correctly in order to shorten the distance between a source and a destination, this gave a reduction in the FSPL value. In addition, the positioning of the relay node correctly gave an alternative Line of Sight (LoS) to overcome the penetration loss caused by human bodies. For the last challenge, the considerably short range of the wireless network in the 60 GHz band, the range has been extended by applying the multi-hop communication with the concept of relay nodes selection. The length of the room was doubled and still get the same losses as if there was no expansion. All three techniques were modeled inside ‘Wireless InSite’ by three scenarios. The first scenario was a conference room with no obstacles to focus on FSPL. In the second scenario, the same conference room was modeled but human bodies have been taken into consideration to check the penetration loss effect. The final scenario was the extended version of the first scenario to deal with the small range issue.
