Enabling wide area mm-wave mobile broadband networks

该项目将围绕覆盖范围重叠的接入点网络定义一种新的架构和算法，为毫米波频段的移动用户提供宽带广域服务。该项目将开发工具来描述该网络的信息承载能力，以及关键参数之间的权衡。研究结果将被移动网络运营商用于规划部署和开发运营软件，以提供多样化和灵活的数据服务。其好处将是解锁孤立热点之外的无线电频谱，支持更大的流量密度和数据速率，为经济带来数十亿美元的价值。

This project will define a new architecture and algorithms based around a network of access points with overlapping coverage that will support broadband, wide-area services to mobile users in mm-wave bands. The project will develop tools to characterise the information carrying capacity of this network, and tradeoffs between key parameters. The outcomes will be used by Mobile Network Operators in planning their deployments and developing their operations software to deliver diverse and flexible data services. The benefit will be an unlocking of radio spectrum beyond isolated hot spots, supporting vastly greater traffic densities and data rates worth billions of dollars to the economy.
