Abstract :
A system architecture based on millimeter-wave wireless over fiber sensor communication networks for avionic system sensing, control and communications is investigated here. The objectives are to study and define the optimal network structures and protocols for the proposed millimeter-wave WSCNs, and evaluate the system performance in terms of reliability, scalability, power consumption and cost. We have experimentally demonstrated the wireless over fiber access schemes in proposed millimeter-wave WSCNs. Different multi-access schemes have been investigated and analyzed. We believe the proposed system architecture is suitable for high-throughput wireless sensor communication network using wireless over fiber technologies.
