Implementation of a seamless uncompressed video transmission system in 60GHz bands

Abstract

A 60GHz communication can be a best solution for high capacity wireless data communications such as uncompressed HD video streaming. However, due to highly directional characteristics of 60GHz frequency band, the line-of-sight (LOS) path blockage should be avoided to maintain the peer-to-peer connectivity. In this paper, we propose a novel 60GHz relay system for blocking avoidance, and show the experimental results of the prototype system employing proposed relay scheme which outperforms the conventional LOS communication system, and also present that video streaming is seamless when LOS is blocked with a prototype system.
