802.11 Wireless Networks - A Peek Ahead at 802.11n: MIMO OFDM
Overview 802.11 Task Group N (TGn) has an interesting goal. Most IEEE task groups focus on increasing the peak throughput, making data fly as fast as possible during the time it is being transmitted. TGn's goal is to achieve 100 Mbps net throughput, after subtracting all the overhead for protocol management features like preambles, inter-frame spacing, and acknowledgments. Although the goal is 100 Mbps net throughput, the final proposal seems certain to blow past that number, and offer many times that throughput in maximum configurations. There are two roads to 100 Mbps: improve the efficiency of the MAC, increase the peak data rate well beyond 100 Mbps - or both.
