 Will we able to download large files at a rate

of some Gbps?!
Is this possible?!

Yes!!

IS IT SOMETHING NEW?
No!
Has been a part of history!

WHY NOW?!!!

Not many green field bands left in low

spectrum
Need for High data rates
Increase efficiency of wireless

WHY NOT OPTIMIZE?

Spectrum can be optimized using techniques like OFDM, MIMO, multiuser diversity, etc.
Still, no control over the continuous overwhelming capacity demands!

Need space to accommodate the new users!

Reduced cost of transceivers used in commercial applications

WHAT IS MILLIMETRE WAVE?

SPECTRUM ALLOCATED FOR

MMB

PROPAGATION
Free Space Propagation transmission loss, isotropic

antenna

Material penetration loss

Oxygen and water absorption
Foliage absorption
Rain absorption
Diffraction small Fresnel radii can pass through narrow

gaps - lower loss

Ground reflection

NETWORK
ARCHITECT
URE

REQUIREMENTS
Propagation loss for omnidirectional transmission is significantly

worse at higher carrier frequencies - directional antennas are

preferred

Limited ability to diffract around obstacles and hence

susceptible toblockage.

For sufficient Signal to Noise ratio, less bandwidth efficient

modulation schemes are preferable

TDMA reduces interference between adjacent channels caused

in FDMA

Phased array technique is best to compensate path loss.

Usage of smaller cells (Pico, micro & femto

cells) - require less power, lesser cost,

smaller footprint- more frequency reuse.

PROBLEM: How to connect these base

stations i.e., wired or wireless connections?
Wiring can create visual pollution

BACKHAULING

WITH MODELS FOR BLOCKAGE EFFECTS

Takes care of the

fact that high
frequencies
propagate in LOS

ADVANTAGES
Reliable and Faster wireless link
Higher reuse of spectrum
Increase in base station density
Minimized latency or lags
Accommodates VoIP & live data streaming
High directionality in sensing
No need of channelization of spectrum
Basic Modulation techniques are sufficient
High throughput
Better spatial resolution
Beamforming enhances the gain of the strongest paths

while suppresses others

Higher data usage

Increased mobile-

mobile communication
Establishing ad-hoc

networks
Vehicular radiation and

collision avoidance

DISADVANTAGES
Smaller component size, increasing the need for great

precision in manufacturing Greater costs

Narrow beam widths problem in target search and

acquisition
Smaller antennas store less energy in receiving

system
lower sensitivity
Limited communication range due to attenuation
Poor foliage penetration

APPLICATIONS
Radio astronomy
Wireless backhaul
Inter-satellite link
High resolution radar
Security screening
Amateur radio
Metro Network sources (MAN)
Cellular Distributed Antenna Systems (DAS)

FUTURE APPLICATIONS

CONCLUSION
Wireless take over magnetic and wired

connections
By 2020, we will have devices above 100 GHz
and data rates around 20 Gbps in 5G and 6G
cellular networks --- hope so! ;)
A new frontier of research
The Renaissance of wireless can lead us to
