Abstract

Currently, Millimeter Wave (mmWave) systems rely on electronically steerable beamformed antennas that focus the beam in a direction to generate high gains. This complicates the initial access where a base station announces itself to nearby user equipments, giving them the opportunity to associate with the base station. As there are different beam directions for the transmitter and receiver and possibly only a number of them enable communication, a search for the right configuration must be done to even discover one another. Long Range (LoRa) could provide a remedy here and improve the discovering process of mmWave networks because it was specifically developed for the aim of ultra-long range communication that works with low Signal-to-Noise Ratios (SNRs). This might enable communication in the side lobes of beamformed antennas and possibly also in omnidirectional communications and remove the search for the right beam directions. This thesis will investigate the capabilities of LoRa in the sidelobes and omnidirectional communications by conducting measurements with different beam directions at 60 GHz and compare that to WiFi. The results showed that LoRa can enable communication in the sidelobes and even in some omnidirectional cases.
