Abstract

60 GHz is considered the most promising technology to deliver gigabit wireless for indoor communications. We propose to integrate 60 GHz radio with the existing Wi-Fi radio in 2.4/5 GHz band to take advantage of the complementary nature of these different bands. This integration presents an opportunity to provide a unified technology for both gigabit Wireless Personal Area Networks (WPAN) and Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN), thus further reinforcing the technology convergence that is already underway with the widespread adoption of Wi-Fi technology. Many open research questions remain to make this unified solution work seamlessly for WPAN and WLAN.
