Quest for Spectrum (mmW) 15-90 Ghz

• 60 GHz bands • WiGig already operates at these bands• Target: tens to hundreds of times more capacity

compared to current 4G cellular networks • 28-30 GHz Bands• 15-18 GHz Bands• 42.5-43.5 GHz for TDD systems• 70 and 80 GHz for FDD (backhaul)

Two Unlicensed Contiguous Spectrum Opportunities

• Exploiting unlicensed spectrum at 100-300 GHz (still mmWaves !)• large amount of contiguous spectrum • suitable for short ranges communications (low atmospheric

attenuation)

• THz with visible light communication empowered Li-Fi access points• unlicensed and 10,000 times larger than the range of radio

frequencies between 0 Hz to 30 GHz • no interference with RF and no interference with sunlight• VLC enables low complexity and inexpensive wireless

transceivers
