This paper presents a measurement of time-varying attenuation of IEEE802.11ad wireless LAN (WLAN) signals in 60GHz band induced by human blockage. The present measurement is a novel approach to obtain the attenuation, where a commercially available IEEE802.11ad access point (AP) and station (STA) are employed and the measurement is conducted under intermittent packet transmission. This paper also presents a hidden Markov model (HMM)-based signal power estimation scheme so that the attenuation is estimated from data obtained with a microwave spectrum analyzer which cannot detect signals of IEEE 802.11ad WLAN in itself. In this scheme, whether 11ad WLAN signals exist or not at each sampling instant is estimated based on HMM. Before the application of HMM, the scheme detects the number of HMM states via Bayesian information criterion and, thereby, prevents model over-fitting and consequent invalid power estimation. Our experiment revealed that the IEEE802.11ad WLAN signal attenuates by 5dB in a duration of 51.5ms when a human moves across the path between the AP and the STA at a velocity of 0.5 m/s. This result is consistent with a previous report about an IEEE 802.11ad WLAN channel model.
