Disconnection time improvement by using artificial multi reflectors for millimeter-wave indoor communications

In the indoor millimeter-wave communications, the human interruption of the communication path is an issue of disconnection. The disconnection probability improvement by using artificial reflectors and beam-forming technology was proposed by authors [1-2]. In this paper the disconnection time improvement effects has been evaluated. By using two reflectors, the disconnection time is reduced to 1/50 (0.02 sec/hour) compared to the situation without reflector. These results give a good improvement for millimeter-wave communications.
