Abstract(in English) Wireless body area network (WBAN) using millimeter wave (mmW) is expected to solve inter-WBAN interference problem. The human body blocking is important to reduce interference, especially in overcrowded conditions. In this presentation, we firstly introduce our previous works on radio frequency (RF) modules and propagation measurement for mmW high-throughput communication. Next, we introduce the proposed mmW inter-WBAN interference propagation model considering the human body blocking and evaluation of the interference environment in the overcrowded condition by the computer simulation. The link budget considering the four kinds of attenuation of the interference power is introduced and the condition of the inter-WBAN interference is investigated. It is confirmed by the computer simulation that the number of interference users per user converges as 7-20 interfering users in the overcrowded condition. In addition, we evaluated the communication characteristics in an extremely dense environment such as inside of a commuter train coach. As a result, the feasibility of the high-throughput mmW WBAN is shown that is very effective to reduce inter-WBAN interference.
