BUT “HOW”? Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

Slide 7

Slide 7 text

ANSER IS BY INCREASING THE “THROUGHPUT” • To increase the Throughput there must be a change in one of three below mentioned area. ▫ 1) Higher Order Modulation ▫ 2) Wider Channel Bandwidth ▫ 3) More Spatial Streams Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

Slide 8 text

THEY INCLUDED ▫ 1) Wider Channels: 80MHz & 160MHz ▫ 2) 256-QAM ▫ 3) Beam Forming ▫ 4) More Spatial Streams ▫ 5) Multi-user MIMO (MU-MIMO) Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

Slide 9 text

Wider Channels ▫ 802.11ac supports 5GHz Frequencies only. ▫ Focuses on spectrum with more bandwidth, less interference, and better scalability & capacity. Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

Slide 10

Slide 10 text

Wider Channels ▫ Optional support for contiguous 160 MHz and non-contiguous 80+80 MHz transmission and reception. ▫ Mandatory support for 20, 40 and 80 MHz channels. ▫ 40MHz is same as 802.11n. 80MHz has more than 2x data subcarriers which is 234 vs. 108. Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

Slide 11

Slide 11 text

256-QAM ▫ 256-QAM increase efficiency by 33%. ▫ High-order modulation increase complexity, which require higher SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio). ▫ Quadrature Amplitude Modulation(QAM) works by using the combination amplitude level and phase shift to select one of many symbols in the constellation. Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

Slide 12

Slide 12 text

256-QAM ▫ 8 bits to represent a symbol. ▫ More dense = More Information/Data. ▫ Require better noise free environment. Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

Slide 13

Slide 13 text

BEAM FORMING ▫ Beam forming is a general signal processing technique used to control the directionality of the reception or transmission of a signal on a transducer array. Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

Slide 14

Slide 14 text

BEAM FORMING Dhrumil Shah(121060753007) ▫ AP initiate the frame exchanging to measure the channel. ▫ The result of channel measurement is “STEERING MATRIX”. ▫ After receiving matrix AP is capable of sending spatial focused frame to laptop. ▫ A device that shapes its transmitted frames is called a “BEAMFORMER”. ▫ A receiver of such frames is called a “BEAMFORMEE”.

Slide 15

Slide 15 text

MORE SPATIAL STREAMS ▫ 802.11ac specifies up to eight spatial streams, compared to 802.11n’s four spatial streams, at the AP. ▫ The extra spatial streams can be used to transmit to multiple clients at the same time. ▫ With the ability to transmit at high speeds to multiple clients simultaneously, 802.11ac will speed up networks even more than might be apparent from simply looking at the data rate. Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

Slide 16

Slide 16 text

MU-MIMO ▫ Multi-User Multiple Input, Multiple Output. ▫ Here an AP is able to use its antenna resources to transmit multiple frames to different clients, all at the same time and over the same frequency spectrum. Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

Slide 17

Slide 17 text

MU-MIMO ▫ And at the same time, the AP is also sending data to user 2 and forms a beam toward user 2 and forms notches toward users 1 and 3, as shown by the red curve. ▫ To send data to user1, the AP forms a strong “Beam” to user1. At the same time the AP minimizes the energy for user1 in the direction of user2 & user3. This is called “NULL STEERING” shown as the blue notches. Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

Slide 19

Slide 19 text

802.11ac IN WAVES Net gain Slight efficiency improvement, most benefits are for 802.11ac devices 256-QAM 33% gain at very short range 80 MHz channels Twice the capacity of 40 MHz 802.11n (but not recommended for multi-AP deployments) 3 spatial streams Already supported by 802.11n (3x3) Wave 1 – Q3, 2013 Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

Slide 20

Slide 20 text

802.11ac IN WAVES Net gain Wave 2 – Late 2014 Wave 1+ Includes all Wave 1 features, with additional chip improvements 80 / 160 MHz channels Twice the capacity of 80 MHz 802.11ac (but not recommended for multi-AP deployments) 3+ spatial streams Likely 4 spatial streams. N-fold throughput gain for high-end clients, more flexibility/capacity for MU-MIMO MU-MIMO Up to 4x capacity boost, multiplies aggregate capacity Multiples aggregate network capacity and efficiency, ALL devices benefit Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

FAQ Q: Is it backward compatible with 11n? A: Yes. 11ac is fully backward compatible with 802.11n, using protection mechanisms with 11n frame formats. Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

Slide 22

Slide 22 text

FAQ Q: What about 2.4GHz? A: Initially, dual-band APs will be 802.11n in 2.4GHz and 802.11ac in 5GHz. 11ac may eventually be introduced to 2.4GHz for benefits from added spatial streams or 256- QAM. Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)

Slide 23

FAQ Q: Will it require new Hardware? A: Yes. For every supplier, all APs and clients will need new hardware, whether complete AP replacement or modular radio add-ons. Dhrumil Shah(121060753007)
