Summary :

High-frequency wireless communication is drawing attention because of its potential to actualize huge transmission capacity in the next generation wireless system. The use of high-frequency bands requires dense deployment of access points to compensate for significant distance attenuation and diffraction loss. Dense deployment of access points in a mobility environment triggers an increase in the frequency of handover because the number of candidate access points increases. Therefore, simple handover schemes are needed. High-frequency wireless systems enable station position to be determined using their wideband and highly directional communication signals. Thus, simple handover based on position information estimated using the communication signal is possible. Interruptions caused by handover are also a huge barrier to actualizing stable high-frequency wireless communications. This paper proposes a seamless handover scheme using multiple radio units. This paper evaluates the combination of simple handover and the proposed scheme based on experiments using a formula racing car representing the fastest high-speed mobility environment. Experimental results show that seamless handover and high-speed wireless transmission over 200Mbps are achieved over a 400-m area even at station velocities of greater than 200km/h.
