Mediumband Wireless Communication
The multipath is unavoidable in radio frequency (RF) wireless communication, and affects almost every element of the communication systems. Over 60 years of wireless communication research effort has been, and also is being, dedicated to perfect the art of signal detection in multipath. Any wireless communication system in the world should fall in to one of two categories: narrowband or broadband. In this paper, authors present their case for a new class of channels and area of study, named “mediumband” that falls in the transitional region between narrowband and broadband, and study both challenges and opportunities for reliable wireless communication. For instance, mediumband channels enable signalling at a significantly higher rate, but on the flip side, as the degree of mediumband-ness increases, the quality of the channel deteriorates rapidly. However, mediumband channels have an inherent ability to avoid deep fading, and if designed properly, mediumband wireless communication, which refers to wireless communication through mediumband channels, could be made to be a win-win solution.
