Abstract-Even though 60 GHz frequency band has limited coverage, due to high available bandwidth worldwide (unlicensed, approximately 5 GHz between 57-62 GHz), it is obviously the candidate for future broadband wireless networks for the last mile. Radio over Fiber (RoF) technology combining the two worlds -fiber optic and broadband wireless -can help in extending broadband wireless networks in indoor environment. To provide high data rate support the RoF system also requires new MAC standards. The main challenge for designers of such networks is the additional delay introduced by the optical distribution network. This paper investigates the feasibility of applying the MAC protocol IEEE 802.15.3c in Radio over Fiber system at 60 GHz. Mainly various ACK mechanisms in the IEEE 802.15.3c are analysed when it is used in conjunction with RoF network. The analytical results show that the effect of fiber optic network causes a slight drop in throughput and still could easily be applied. Modelling of a RoF system with IEEE 802.15.3c and numerical results thereof are the salient features of this article.

Abstract-Recently 60 GHz communication has emerged as a potential candidate for high speed, short range radio communication. However, since the range of 60 GHz is too small, it is used only at the last meter. Optical links are used to feed these last hop access points. Thus, a radio over fiber (RoF) based wireless personal area network (WPAN) with 60 GHz radio is proposed. This hybrid network is known Fi-Wi. Specifically, RoF based WPAN architecture employing IEEE 802.15.3c MAC for 60 GHz frequency band is proposed in this paper. Based on detailed performance analysis of MAC, suitability of IEEE 802.15.3c in RoF indoor networks is examined carefully. Limitations of using IEEE 802.15.3c, due to the additional delay introduced by fiber distribution network are highlighted. An analytical method to solve the sectored carrier sense multiple access with collision avoidance (CSMA/CA) using directional antenna is proposed. Analysis of different acknowledgment (ACK) mechanisms in different physical channel conditions are performed, which is helpful in selecting appropriate ACK policy based on the requirements of applications. We provide a complete and thorough analysis of Fi-Wi WPAN architecture based on IEEE 802.15.3c. This is expected to help designers and practitioners.

Densely deployment of the small cells in 5G networks will bring high‐quality service to the end users as well as will solve the small footprint coverage problem of millimeter‐waves. The increase in the number of small cells will require self‐organized systems to enable the seamless transaction between heterogeneous network environment. Therefore, a survey‐style study on self‐organized seamless coverage in 5G, covering millimeter‐wave features and its indoor and outdoor coverage along with some machine learning techniques are presented in this article.
