A Comprehensive Presentation of State-of-the-Art Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi data rates and spectral efficiencies have continued to improve over the past two decades. By adding multi-user transmission to multi-antenna and multi-carrier capabilities, next-generation Wi-Fi will be able to connect to an unprecedented number of personal devices and “things”, expanding beyond user-to-user communications. This course describes the foundational principles of Wi-Fi, including the latest technologies and applications. It discusses the technical details of the emerging 802.11be amendment and provide a comparative assessment of 802.11ax and 802.11be. The course also presents practical issues in Wi-Fi performance optimization, and key physical and access layer mechanisms. Among the topics covered include OFDM, OFDMA, multi-user multi-antenna multi-link multi-AP technologies, beamforming protocols, and operating range versus rate tradeoffs. With over 170 illustrative figures and tables, this indispensable course is designed for any wireless engineer building advanced Wi-Fi systems from ground up.

About the Instructor
Benny Bing has published six generations of Wi-Fi books since 1999. Cisco Systems adopted 18,000 printed copies of one of his books to launch its first wireless product―the Aironet Wi-Fi product. He was invited to conduct on-site Wi-Fi courses for universities and companies such as Qualcomm and Motorola Solutions, and has served as an expert witness on Wi-Fi.
