Wi-Fi 6 Technical Training
This one-day course offers an in-depth discussion on two technologies that accelerate Wi-Fi 6 data rates – MU-MIMO and OFDMA. The course covers 802.11ax, Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), Multi-User MIMO, MAC and PHY Layer Enhancements, and Wi-Fi 6E and Wi-Fi 7
Why Take This Course?
- Enhance your industry knowledge and skills by gaining a greater understanding of Wi-Fi 6.
- Train with engineers at Qualcomm Technologies – a world leader in 5G technology and wireless engineering.
- Participate in a professional development opportunity you can display on your resume/CV and LinkedIn profile.
Course Outline:
- Learn how W-Fi 6 increases capacity to a theoretical limit of 9.6 Gbps while improving network capacity, battery life, and security.
- Learn how Wi-Fi networks are low-cost and scalable, and why they are a great choice for small businesses looking to extend their data coverage and take advantage of the Internet of Things.
- In-depth discussion of two technologies that accelerate Wi-Fi 6 data rates: MU-MIMO and OFDMA.
- Wi-Fi overview based on IEEE draft 802.11ax.
- How OFDMA and MU-MIMO operate.
- MAC and PHY enhancements for 802.11ax.
- How 802.11ax compares to 802.11ac.
- Motivations and enhancements for Wi-Fi 6E.
- Wi-Fi 7 features.
Prerequisites:
- None
Objectives:
- Understand the limitations of 802.11ac and the motivation behind 802.11ax.
- Discuss the motivation for using OFDMA and differences with respect to OFDM, describe sub-channelization required for supporting OFDMA, and outline DL and UL-OFDMA process.
- Outline the evolution of MIMO in Wi-Fi and the motivation to use MU-MIMO.
- Explain the concept of BSS color and spatial reuse operation and how it helps limit interference from overlapping BSS (OBSS) and co-channel interference.
- Discuss the main motivations behind physical layer changes like 1024-QAM and dual carrier modulation (DCM).
- Describe the new 6 GHz spectrum allocated to unlicensed band operation and the power limits introduced by various regulatory bodies across the world.
- Outline high level overview of 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) concepts that are in work studies and initial draft versions.
