IEEE 802.11be - Extremely High Throughput: The Next Generation of Wi-Fi Technology Beyond 802.11ax
share
Wireless-Fidelity (Wi-Fi) is continuously innovating to cater for the upcoming customer demands, driven by the digitalisation of everything, both in the home as well as the enterprise and hotspot spaces. In this article, we introduce to the wireless community IEEE 802.11be Extremely High Throughput (EHT), the next generation of Wi-Fi technology. We present the main objectives and timelines of this new Wi-Fi amendment, and thoroughly describe its main candidate features and enhancements. We also provide simulation results to assess the potential throughput gains brought by EHT, and cover important aspects such as the coexistence with other wireless technologies.
