IEEE 802.11be Technology Introduction

White Paper Overview 

The IEEE 802.11 MAC and PHY layers are continuously being improved to offer more efficiency and support new use cases. The next generation of Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), also known as Extremely High Throughput (EHT), focuses further on multiple enhancements that offer lower latency and higher reliability.

In this white paper, Rohde & Schwarz experts focus on explaining the technologies that enable the Wi-Fi 7, and the test and measurement challenges as well as relevant, leading-edge solutions.

This white paper focuses on the IEEE802.11be physical layer and contains five main parts:

•IEEE 802.11be amendment development core documents
•IEEE 802.11be goals and feature summary
•Features to achieve extremely high throughput
•EHT physical layer descriptions
•Transmitter and receiver test requirements
