abstract = {In this paper, we report theoretical and experimental
channel-capacity estimates of heating, ventilation, and air condi-
tioning (HVAC) ducts based on multicarrier transmission that uses
-ary quadrature amplitude modulation and measured channel
responses at the 2.4-GHz industrial, scientific, and medical band.
It
is shown theoretically that data rates in excess of 1 Gb/s are possible
over distances up to 500 m in straight ducts in which reflections
have
been suppressed. Our experimental results also show that even in
the case of more complex HVAC duct networks (i.e., HVAC duct net-
works that include bends, tees, etc.) data rates over 2 Gb/s are pos-
sible. Our estimations in this case are valid for distances of up
to
22 m, which was the maximum distance of our experimental setup.
These experimental results, measured with a large-scale testbed set
up at Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh, PA, albeit limited in
terms of transmitter?receiver separation distance, provide further
evidence on the potential of HVAC systems as an attractive solution
for providing communications in indoor wireless networks.},
