IEEE P802.11n/D11.0, June 2009 1 Abstract: This amendment defines modifications to both the 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the 802.11 2 Medium Access Control Layer (MAC) so that modes of operation can be enabled that are capable of much 3 higher throughputs, with a maximum throughput of at least 100 Mb/s, as measured at the MAC data service 4 5 access point (SAP). 6 7 Keywords: Wireless LAN, Medium Access Control, Physical Layer, Radio, Multiple Input Multiple Out- 8 put, MIMO, MIMO-OFDM, High Throughput 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28 29 30 31 32 33 34 35 36 37 38 39 40 41 42 43 44 45 46 47 48 49 50 51 52 53 54 55 56 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 ii Copyright © 2009 IEEE.

IEEE P802.11n/D11.0, June 2009 1 Introduction 2 3 (This introduction is not part of IEEE P802.11n/D11.0, Draft Amendment to Standard for Information 4 Technology-Telecommunications and information exchange between systems-Local and Metropolitan 5 networks-Specific requirements-Part 11: Wireless LAN Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical 6 7 Layer (PHY) specifications: Enhancements for Higher Throughput.) 8 9 10 This amendment specifies enhancements to 802.11 PHY and MAC layers to provide modes of operation with 11 useful data rates substantially higher than those previously available. Significantly higher 802.11 wireless lo- 12 cal area network (LAN) throughput is expected to improve user experiences for current applications and to 13 14 enable new applications and market segments. 15 16 17 Notice to users 18 19 20 Laws and regulations 21 22 Users of these documents should consult all applicable laws and regulations. Compliance with the provisions 23 of this standard does not imply compliance to any applicable regulatory requirements. Implementers of the 24 25 standard are responsible for observing or referring to the applicable regulatory requirements. IEEE does not, 26 by the publication of its standards, intend to urge action that is not in compliance with applicable laws, and 27 these documents may not be construed as doing so. 28 29 30 Copyrights 31 32 33 This document is copyrighted by the IEEE.

By publication of this standard, no position is taken with respect to the existence 10 or validity of any patent rights in connection therewith. A patent holder or patent applicant has filed a state- 11 ment of assurance that it will grant licenses under these rights without compensation or under reasonable 12 13 rates, with reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination to appli- 14 cants desiring to obtain such licenses. Other Essential Patent Claims may exist for which a statement of 15 assurance has not been received. The IEEE is not responsible for identifying Essential Patent Claims for 16 which a license may be required, for conducting inquiries into the legal validity or scope of Patents Claims, 17 or determining whether any licensing terms or conditions are reasonable or non-discriminatory. Users of this 18 19 standard are expressly advised that determination of the validity of any patent rights, and the risk of infringe- 20 ment of such rights, is entirely their own responsibility. Further information may be obtained from the IEEE 21 Standards Association. 22 23 24 Participants 25 26 27 At the time this draft Standard was completed, the 802.11 Working Group had the following membership: 28 Bruce Kraemer, Chair 29 Jon Rosdahl and Adrian Stephens, Vice-chairs 30 Stephen McCann, Secretary 31 32 EDITORIAL NOTE—a three column list of voting members of 802.11 on the day the draft was sent for 33 34 sponsor ballot will be inserted 35 36 The following were officers of Task Group n: 37 Bruce Kraemer, Chair 38 Sheung Li, Vice-Chair 39 40 Garth Hillman, Secretary 41 Adrian P.
