Abstract
Looking at the direction of the recent amendments of 802.11 family, there are two major trends. One is to enable the wireless transceivers to support the extremely high-speed wireless transmissions, which has been the mainstream so far. Another big trend is providing a high-performance wireless application platform that meets the demands of the market. This paper summarizes the brand-new IEEE 802.11 amendments from 11ax to 11bf under development by analyzing the innovative features and use cases on them. We provide the vision and direction for the research on the revolutionary data-hungry Wi-Fi 6 and the IEEE 802.11be, alias Wi-Fi 7.
