Abstract

In the context of green communications, millimeter wave bands are investigated to ensure mobile access and backhauling. Such transmissions can be performed with the IEEE 802.11 Directional Multi-Gigabit (DMG) modes, designed for very high throughput in the 60 GHz band. However, the DMG Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplexing (OFDM) physical (PHY) layer specifications corresponding to the highest data rates are not energy-efficient. Therefore, in this article, we propose easily implementable green improvements for IEEE 802.11 DMG OFDM PHY: a change of error correcting code and a new modulation and coding scheme. Binary error rate performance evaluations are made to show the green benefits of our improvements.
