ABSTRACT
Increasing data rate demand, following the 802.11b amendments for 11 Mb/s, in Wi-Fi networking for enterprise and home networking was triggered by applications such as streaming video and hot-spot deployments. The success of the 2.4 GHz band Wi-Fi market and the relative higher 5 GHz band difficulties of 802.11a with its high 54 Mb/s OFDM data rate led to the consideration of applying this modulation technology to the lower frequency 2.4 GHz band.
