802.11n

1、Features of 802.11n

  * PHY

    ----- Major - MIMO

    ----- Other 

            > STBC

            > LDPC

            > Short guard interval(GI)

            > Greenfield preamble

  *MAC

4. 802.11n issues

    > 20/40 MHz channels ?

          A lot of effort om coexistences

   > HT

   > Beamforming
