Millimeter wave wireless personal area network (WPAN) and its standardization activity within IEEE802.15

A millimeter wave wireless personal network (WPAN) system is designed to provide short-range, high-speed multimedia data services to terminals in rooms or office space. Millimeter wave ad hoc wireless access system has been developed by the Yokosuka Research Park (YRP) collaborated group which was organized by NICT Yokosuka Radio Communication Research Center. This system is designed to provide easy connectivity, network flexibility and high transmission data rate suitable for WAPN service. The millimeter wave ad hoc system and its technologies were presented, and the millimeter wave interest and study groups which were recently organized and approved within IEEE802.15 were introduced and its activity presented.
