A technical exploration of IEEE 802.11bn’s physical and MAC layer enhancements — including distributed resource units, enhanced long range, multi-AP coordination, and seamless roaming — that define Wi-Fi 8.

What Attendees will Learn

  1. Why Wi-Fi 8 prioritizes reliability over raw throughput — Understand how IEEE 802.11bn shifts the design philosophy from peak data-rate gains to ultra-high reliability.
  2. How new physical layer features overcome uplink power limitations — Learn how distributed resource units spread tones across wider distribution bandwidths to boost per-tone transmit power, and how enhanced long range protocol data units use power-boosted preamble fields and frequency-domain duplication to extend uplink coverage.
  3. How advanced MAC coordination reduces interference and latency — Examine multi-access point coordination schemes — coordinated beamforming, spatial reuse, time division multiple access, and restricted target wake time — alongside non-primary channel access and priority enhanced distributed channel access.
  4. What seamless roaming and power management mean for next-generation deployments — Discover how seamless mobility domains eliminate reassociation delays during access point transitions, and how dynamic power save and multi-link power management let devices trade capability for battery life without sacrificing connectivity.
