Abstract:
This paper a makes comparative study between two newly emerged technologies in the radio communications domain: on the one hand, the small cells networks, designed to be implemented in the existing macrocellular networks, with the goal of enhancing the coverage area and the capacity of the whole network, and the 60 GHz wireless local area networks on the other hand. This latter technology is developed in order to offer high data rates taking advantage of the license free spectrum available around the 60 GHz frequency. The paper highlights the main common and disjoint aspects of both technologies and offers some implementation options.
