Providing Gbps/User Connectivity in WLANs

In this paper, we present two SDMA algorithms that exploit the peculiar propagation properties of 60GHz. We show that in typical indoor environments, one access point can deliver over 8 gbps total throughput while using only 640 MHz of the bandwidth. We generalize the algorithms to the case when multiple channels are available and show that with seven channels, we get aggregate throughput of over 31 gbps.
