... 86 A Guidebook for Mitigating Disruptive WiFi Interference at Airports MIMO uses multiple receivers, transmitters, and antennas to achieve spatial division multiplexing (SDM)
From page 87...
... IEEE 802 Standards 87 • WirelessHART • MiWi Each of these protocols differentiate themselves in how they develop the upper layers but have in common the lower layers, as defined in IEEE 802.15.4. IEEE 802.15.4 was first released in 2003 with a new version released in 2006 and work continuing on future revisions.

From page 89...
... IEEE 802 Standards 89 Modulation and Coding Schemes To achieve their higher data rates, the newer versions of the IEEE 802.11 standards support a number of modulation schemes and coding rates. These are defined by the standard and are represented by a modulation and coding scheme (MCS)
From page 90...
... 90 A Guidebook for Mitigating Disruptive WiFi Interference at Airports A total of approximately 18.7 billion WiFi chipset units will be shipped from 2011 to 2017 -- nearly all of which will belong to the high-performance 802.11n version. By 2015, nearly 1.2 billion handsets out of a total of 1.9 billion cellphones produced that year will include WiFi functionality.

... IEEE 802 Standards 91 • 256-QAM, rate 3/4 and 5/6 modulation added as optional modes (vs. 64-QAM, rate 5/6 maximum in 802.11n)
From page 92...
... 92 A Guidebook for Mitigating Disruptive WiFi Interference at Airports • "60 GHz is also highly directional," he added. "So whereas in 2.4 and 5 [GHz]
From page 93...
... IEEE 802 Standards 93 IEEE 802.11af IEEE 802.11af, approved in February 2014, allows wireless local area network operation in TV white space spectrum in the VHF and UHF bands between 54 and 790 MHz. Because of its operation in the TV white space, meaning on locally unused TV channels, the standard is often referred to as White-Fi and Super WiFi.
From page 94...
... 94 A Guidebook for Mitigating Disruptive WiFi Interference at Airports Positively, the trend toward band fragmentation makes available more spectrum in which to operate. However, it also creates a complex matrix of possible interference problems.
From page 95...
... IEEE 802 Standards 95 and the guard interval. In IEEE 802.11 a/g OFDM, the data or symbol rate is 250 kHz, or 4 µS.
From page 96...
... 96 A Guidebook for Mitigating Disruptive WiFi Interference at Airports Figure C-3. Modulation and coding schemes used by IEEE 802.11 n/ac.34 WiFi and cellular signaling combinations may operate in close proximity without any problem.
From page 97...
... IEEE 802 Standards 97 A potential for interference that appears particularly concerning is created by the approaching use by LTE of the bands adjacent to the 2.4 GHz ISM band, which WiFi uses so heavily. Mobile phones and other LTE UE devices operating either below or above the 2.4 GHz ISM band have the potential for interfering with WiFi (Figure C-4)
From page 98...
... 98 A Guidebook for Mitigating Disruptive WiFi Interference at Airports Freescale would not be making the significant investment that developing a new product requires if their customers didn't need it. Clearly Freescale is hearing that customers are planning on building mobile network basestations for the 2496–2690 MHz band, just above the 2.4 GHz ISM band where so much WiFi operates.
