Abstract

We demonstrate a moving extended cell concept that provides seamless communication with high end-user mobility in broadband 60 GHz Radio-over-Fiber networks. Mathematical and simulation-based performance analysis are presented, showing that this technique can guarantee seamless connectivity irrespective of the overlapping area between adjacent cells providing zero packet loss and call dropping probability values for up to 40m/sec mobile speeds.
