Abstract :
A proposal for an intermediate hop radio network is presented which is a mobile station-mobile station (MS-MS) link allowing a network based on the mobile broadband system (MBS). The MBS operating at 60 GHz is most likely to rely on line of sight (LOS) connections, which results in the problem of shadowing. The proposed network architecture is compared with conventional cellular radio networks as well as with ad-hoc radio networks by a performance analysis, that has been carried out by an analytic approach and a simulation. All necessary protocols have been specified in SDL
