    Wireless LAN today

    Technologies keep evolving to meet the

    newest requirements Fast Facts– 2 Mbps to >1 Gbps in 15 years

    – 5 M chipsets per day

    – 38 Billion connected devices by 2020

    – Average of 8 connected devices per

    household

    – $222 B in economic value / yr

    – 60% of mobile traffic uses Wi-Fi

    – 70% of all internet traffic uses Wi-Fi

    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
