IEEE 802.11be ­Technology Introduction

The IEEE 802.11 working group develops the wireless local area network (WLAN) specifications behind the Wi-Fi technology. First, IEEE 802 created 11a/b/g to enable wireless communications for everyone. Since then, the IEEE 802.11 MAC and PHY layers have continuously been enhanced to improve user experience, increase throughput, utilize resources more efficiently and/or support new use cases. These enhancements are amendments to the base IEEE 802.11 standard and many have been published in the last 20+ years.

The IEEE 802.11 working group is currently developing the next generation of Wi-Fi,IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7), also known as Extremely High Throughput (EHT). The EHT goals defined in the IEEE 802.11be project authorization request [2] include at least one operating mode supporting 30 Gbps (measured at the MAC data services access point) and atleast one operating mode to improve latency and jitter for time sensitive network support. EHT operates in the unlicensed bands between 1 GHz and 7.125 GHz.
