OFDMA in 802.11ax
– OFDMA can maximize the resource utilization and multiplexing flexibility
(both frequency and time domain can be multiplexed)
– OFDMA Tone Plan
• 1024 FFT in 80 MHz (4x symbol rate vs. 802.11ac)
• Guard Interval: 0.8 us, 1.6 us, and 3.2 us to cover both indoor and
outdoor operation
• One user can allocated from Min. 26 tone to Max. 996 tone

802.11ax AP & STA Test Challenge
13
– EVM Test requirement
• Better than -50dB performance for chipset & PA characterization
• Better than -48dB performance for 8x8 device validation
- With 8-stream running in parallel under worst case test conditions
- At source power levels up to 5 dBm across a dynamic range over 25 dB
– Higher order 8x8 MIMO test requirement
• AP designs may have 12+ antennas (8 for 5GHz band, 4 for 2.4GHz band and
others)
• More Challenging Test Scenario for 8 Streams @ 5GHz band, 1024QAM, 80MHz,
Preamble
• Independent source and analyzer to work on different frequencies
– OTA test need higher power output
– Support DL/UL MU – OFDMA _ MU-MIMO
