VHT – Stands for Very High Throughput Discuss the market needs for Very High TPT Target solution requirements that meets the 5 criteria Suggest direction towards the PAR Introduction and Objective Gal Basson (Wilocity)
From WFA usage models (2792r0): • Wireless Docking • In Home Distribution of HDTV and other content • Rapid Upload and Download of large files to/from server • Backhaul Traffic (e.g. for Meshing, Enterprise, Small Office) • Campus / Auditorium deployments • Manufacturing Floor Automation • Additional usages: • Distributed platforms (Advanced Docking) • “Sync and Go” Over IP Market Needs (Usage models) Gal Basson (Wilocity)
Wireless Docking • Simple KVM- 3-5 Gbps (wuxga) • WQXGA can get up to 9.8 Gbps • Advanced (distributed platforms) – 5-8 Gbps • In Home Distribution – up to 10 Gbps (2792r0) • Rapid Upload/”Sync and go”- 5 Gbps (2-layer blue ray disc can store 50 Gbyte) • LAN traffic – Ethernet is already at 10 Gbps, .11 will follow. Mapping the usages to rates Gal Basson (Wilocity)
Market Drivers Faster CPUs Larger and Faster Storage HD content Maintain Wired equivalence • SSD Growing 2x a year • >80 GB iPOD and camcorders • DVD Capacity growing 8x • Blue Ray– 50 GB dual layer • GigE is widely deployed • 10GigE is emerging Need for Higher TPT standard Competitive environment driving Proprietary 11n extensions Higher Capacity Gigabit nano-cells free capacity for normal network use Proprietary modes fragment the market Gal Basson (Wilocity)

By 2011-12 expect strong demand for new WiFi to Stimulate Revenues 11b started at 1999, 11g started at 2003, 11n started at late 06 4 years cycle.. VHT at late 2010 Stimulate WiFI Market with speed upgrade Source: ABI research 2Q 2006
A new 802.11 PHY/MAC standard should support a data rate of at least 5 Gbps. • In order to be relevant 5 years from now • To satisfy the emerging throughput-hungry applications • For such a high rate there is no substitute for BW • The 60 GHz band has 7-9 GHz of unlicensed BW with quite high output power and EIRP regulatory limits. VHT Gal Basson (Wilocity)
To define standardized modifications to the 802.11 MAC and PHY layers to operate in the 60 GHz band to achieve at least 5Gbps of over -the-air data rate. Suggested path for VHT Gal Basson (Wilocity)
5c • Worldwide Acceptance • Meets the 5 Criteria1. Broad Market Potential2. Compatibility3. Distinct Identity4. Technical Feasibility5. Economic Feasibility VK Jones, Ph.D, Woodside Networks.
Platforms with >20GB HDD/SSD are everywhere .11 is known to be IP over Wireless Media appliances moving to HD content Significant industry-wide incentive to drive innovation into a commoditizing market of 11n (2010+) Broad Market Potential Gal Basson (Wilocity)
Backwards compatible to earlier IEEE 802.11 standards • Triple-band WiFi • Precedent: .11b/g are single band standards 11n which came later is a dual band standard. Compatibility Gal Basson (Wilocity)
Substantially different from other 802 standards • Proposed speeds are substantially higher than the maximum 802.11n rates ~ 10 times higher • Addresses non-PAN market needs; e.g., traffic backhaul and campus/auditorium connectivity. Distinct Identity Gal Basson (Wilocity)
The availability of 7-9 GHz of unlicensed BW in the 60GHz band makes it very easy to achieve VHT. • There are existing proprietary proofs of concept for wireless systems in 60GHz. • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AkseaNBYmk Technical Feasibility Gal Basson (Wilocity)
Current processes more than adequate to support Giga speed Low cost 60GHz transceivers proven by several vendors VHT products must hit same cost envelope as 11n Economic Feasibility Gal Basson (Wilocity)
