Abstract

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) develops from 802.11b from 1999 to today's 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7). This article introduces Wi-Fi 7's key technologies such as 320MHz channel bandwidth, 16*16 Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO), 4K Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), Multi-Link Operation (MLO), Multi Resource Unit (RU), Preamble Puncturing, and its advantages over Wi-Fi 6. Wi-Fi 7 will bring new experiences for various real-time services such as AR/VR, 8K videos, and Internet of Things (IoTs) for ultra-low latency and very high data throughput.

Keywords

Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN), Wi-Fi 7, Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), Multi-Link Operation (MLO), Multi-User Multiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO)
