Abstract

A radio architecture of Wide-band Wireless Local AreaNetworks (WWLAN) based on a multi-sector coveragescheme is investigated. The impact of that scheme onWWLAN benefit and cost functions is analyzedusing proper modeling of the coverage-relatedsystem parameters. The design guidelines that can beobtained from the proposed approach are described,pointing out how the modeling can be exploited fromboth the analytical and the synthetic points of view.The degree of coverage splitting is adopted as akey-design parameter and its impact on WWLANperformance is analyzed in various coveragearchitectures. Results are reported for a60 GHz WWLAN.
