Abstract

Abstract : The authors propose a WLAN with a distributed smart antenna system (D‐SAS) that can suppress interference and improve the system throughput in high‐density scenarios such as stadiums and shopping malls. The authors also demonstrate a prototype of the WLAN with D‐SAS and show experimental results in which the proposed system achieves more than twice the throughput of a conventional WLAN system with a centralised antenna system.
