This is an accepted paper for the 21st Annual IEEE International Symposium on Personal, Indoor and Mobile Radio Communications (PIMRC 2010, http://www.ieee-pimrc.org/ ), Istanbul, Turkey, on 26 – 29 September 2010.

Abstract: Recently, a strong demand on high data rate wireless communication can be observed. The development of multigigabit wireless transmission systems has become very attractive. For achieving such data rates, the exploitation of 60 GHz mm wave is a very promising technical approach [1] and has been adopted in IEEE 802.15.3c. Except for physical layer (PHY) designs, the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer design is also crucial for the achievable system throughput (TP). Among the MAC functionalities, the acknowledgment (ACK) mechanism is a very important component affecting the transmission reliability and efficiency. Based on the ACK-mechanisms in 802.15.3c, this paper proposes a Hybrid Dynamic Frame Aggregation and Block-ACK (HD-FABA) scheme, which can further enhance the transmission efficiency and the system throughput. A theoretical model is developed to enable efficient parameter optimization and throughput maximization. In this way, the system can adaptively adjust its parameters according to the PHY conditions, so that the PHY data rate is exploited at best. The effectiveness of the proposed scheme was verified by numerical simulations.
