1. In January 2004 IEEE announced that it had formed a new 802.11
TaskGroup (TGn) to develop a new amendment to the 802.11 standard for
local-area wireless networks. The real data throughput is estimated to
reach a theoretical 540 Mbit/s and should be up to 40 times faster than
802.11b, and near 10 times faster than 802.11a or 802.11g.
2. There were two competing proposals of the 802.11n standard: WWiSE
(World-Wide Spectrum Efficiency), backed by companies including
Broadcom, and TGn Sync backed by Intel and Philips.

3.802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multiple-
input multiple-output) and orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing
(OFDM). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for
increased data throughput through spatial multiplexing and increased range
by exploiting the spatial diversity.
4.The Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) was formed to help accelerate
the IEEE 802.11n development process and promote a technology
specification for interoperability of next-generation wireless local area
networking (WLAN) products

802.11n
1.Frequency most likely the 5GHz range, meaning
possible compatibility with 802.11a
2.Throughput to match highest possible data
rates- (raise the effective throughput of WLANs
to at least 100M bps)
3.Defining standardized modifications to the
802.11 physical layers and MAC layers, which
will improve not just data rates but also actual
data throughput

MIMO Wireless Systems
Multiple Input Multiple Output (MIMO) systems with
multiple parallel radios improve the following:
• Outages reduced by using information from multiple
antennas
• Transmit power can be increased via multiple power
amplifiers
• Higher throughputs possible

Operating Modes
The PHY will operate in one of 3 modes
Legacy Mode – in this mode packets are transmitted in the
legacy 802.11a/g format.
Mixed Mode – in this mode packets are transmitted with a
preamble compatible with the legacy 802.11a/g. The rest of the
packet has a new format. In this mode the receiver shall be
able to decode both the Mixed Mode packets and legacy packets.

Operating Modes–(cont)
Green Field – in this mode high throughput packets are
transmitted without a legacy compatible part. This mode
is optional. In this mode the receiver shall be able to decode
both Green Field mode packets, Mixed Mode packets and
legacy format packets.

Conclusion
It’s All Good
802.11n will substantially increase the performance and
ubiquitous wireless access of laptops, desktops, smart phones
and entertainment devices over the next several years.
Without cost increase, just like the migration from 802.11 cousin
10 Mbps Ethernet to gigabit Ethernet, 802.11n will first appear in
client devices and begin to be pervasively deployed in enterprises,
homes and eventually metro networks.
While there will be teething problems with this new technology,
there is no doubt of its pervasive and inevitable deployment.
