Abstract
In this paper, we investigate energy-efficient wireless over fiber access
channel and link layer technologies using 60-GHz millimeter-wave (mm-wave)
band for avionic very high throughput millimeter-wave sensor communication
networks (VHT-MSCNs). An efficient architecture for wireless sensor network
employing directional mm-wave wireless access technologies is proposed for
systems that require very high throughput, such as high definition video
signals, for sensing, processing, transmitting, and actuating functions.
Comparisons among various multi-access techniques in terms of power and link
layer operation efficiency are presented. A specific multi-access network
design for VHT-MSCN is proposed and evaluated here, including energy
consumption modeling and protocol frame configuration. A proof-of-concept
testbed of the proposed very-high-throughput wireless over fiber sensor
communication network using 60-GHz mm-wave radio-over-fiber (RoF) technology
in downlink transmission and multi-access technique in uplink transmission
has been designed and demonstrated.
