Abstract

This paper proposes a spatial time-division multiple access (STDMA) throughput enhancement scheme for a multi-Gbps millimeter-wave (mmWave) wireless personal area network (WPAN) system. The system design includes in the medium access control (MAC) layer, an interference-monitoring mechanism and a heuristic TDMA time-slot scheduling engine, and in the physical (PHY) layer, a Reed-Solomon (RS) coded phase-shift keying (PSK) system with selective Rake reception over a realistic 60GHz multipath propagation channel. The theoretical analysis of the throughput and error performance is verified by Monte Carlo simulations. Firstly, it is found that the proposed STDMA scheme is capable of improving system throughput as much as 100%. Secondly, the co-channel interference (CCI) in a communication link has to be controlled at/below -15dB in order to achieve the optimum system throughput. Lastly, different tolerable CCI levels to meet respective application requirements are determined.
