Abstract (in Japanese) (See Japanese page) 
(in English) Wireless Gigabit (WiGig) access points (APs) using 60 GHz unlicensed frequency band are considered as key enablers for future Gbps wireless local area networks (WLANs). Exhaustive search analog beamforming (BF) is mainly used with WiGig transmissions to overcome channel propagation loss and accomplish high rate data transmissions. Due to its short range transmission with high susceptibility to path blocking, multiple number of WiGig APs should be installed to fully cover a typical target environment. Therefore, coordination among the installed APs is highly needed for enabling WiGig concurrent transmissions while overcoming packet collisions and path blocking, which highly increases the total throughput of WiGig WLANs. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive architecture for coordinated WiGig WLANs. The proposed WiGig WLAN is based on a tight coordination between the 5 GHz (WiFi) and the 60 GHz (WiGig) unlicensed frequency bands. By which, the wide coverage WiFi band is used to do the signaling required for organizing WiGig concurrent data transmissions using control/user (C/U) plane splitting. To reduce interference to existing WiGig data links while doing BF, a novel location based BF mechanism is also proposed based on WiFi fingerprinting. The proposed coordinated WiGig WLAN highly outperforms conventional un-coordinated one. Finally, the paper introduced a developed prototype hardware as a PoC of WiFi fingerprint based coordinated mm-wave beamforming in indoor environments.
