Abstract:
This paper describes feasibility of RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) based access network detection for multi-band WLAN (Wireless LAN) using 2.4/5GHz and 60GHz aiming at power-saving of multi-band WLAN device and higher spectrum efficiency. The proposed scheme detects 60GHz coverage by using 2.4/5GHz WLAN signals without using 60GHz WLAN signals for on/off control of 60GHz part of multi-band WLAN device. This makes it possible to turn off 60GHz part whenever a multi-band WLAN device is out of 60GHz coverage. Ray-tracing simulation results indicate that the proposed RSSI based access network detection is feasible.
