Abstract

This paper studies the feasibility of Wi-Fi and 5G technologies in the unlicensed 60 GHz band for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief (HA/DR) operations. Building a wireless communications system in the 60 GHz band can benefit HA/DR activities for two reasons: (i) no license is needed; (ii) a wide bandwidth is available. Our simulation results show that both of Wi-Fi and 5G can achieve data rates exceeding the requirements for most of the HA/DR missions, which proves the feasibility of the two wireless technologies for operation of high-data-rate HA/DR activities such as real-time video streaming.
