So what does Cisco’s Wi-Fi 6 address?
High efficiency wireless = Capacity, Throughput, IoT and security enhancements
High efficiency wireless enhancements
Capacity OFDMA and MU-MIMO UL and DL (Parallel Processing) Up to 4x capacity of .11ac
Spatial Reuse (BSS Coloring), higher data rates w/1024 QAM more performance using a single
Throughput radio and faster throughput with more radio spatial streams (up to 8)
Longer Symbols and Guard Interval, TWT Target Wait Time enhancements for IoT

Security WPA3 and Cisco’s Custom RF ASIC

Understanding OFDM
and Why OFDMA matters
Understanding an OFDM and OFDMA
Both divide into sub-channels (carriers) but OFDMA has more and the concept of Resource Units.
OFDM OFDMA
Spectrum
Analyzer
View
• “OFDM” is divided into Larger subcarriers. But only 1 user can ride the frame at a time over the air.
• “OFDMA” = Can assign individual users to each Resource Unit (RU) = multiple users per frame in the air.
All packets big and small get processed MUCH FASTER

Capacity – Parallel processing

Review of MU-MIMO 802.11acW2
(Wi-Fi 5) and enhancements in (Wi-Fi 6)
Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO) introduced
11ac wave-2
How does it work? Why is it an advantage?
Some folks like to use the analogy of “Hub” and “Switch” SU ver. MU (not exactly accurate) but in MU-MIMO Clients are able to benefit
in the downstream link for higher aggregate throughput by essentially “tuning out” (nulling) portions of the RF to better decode their
traffic reducing interference.
This is Single-User MIMO This is Multi-User MIMO

Resilient
Throughput –
BSS coloring and spatial frequency reuse
2.4 and 5G high density issues given – limited
channels
2.4 GHz only has 3 non-overlapping channels 5 GHz has more channels - but even 5 GHz channels are reduced
when channel bonding is used but benefit is more capacity.
• The limiting factor in a high density design is typically

co-channel interference “CCI”. With only three non-
overlapping Wi-Fi channels at 2.4 GHz, frequency
reuse is high. Cells using the same channel can be too
close (and this is sometimes unavoidable)
• Wi-Fi CCA is very sensitive, so clients have to back-off Directional antennas and Cisco’s
and wait – Biggest contributor OBSS CCI is high RX-SOP (adjustable squelch) is used today
density clients running too much Tx power. But not dynamic and requires RF experience
Resilient
IoT – Wi-Fi 6 Enhancements
IoT benefits using Wi-Fi 6
More IoT devices coming on line everyday – Strong need for 2.4 GHz
• Superior battery life for IoT and mobile devices – Using target wake time
• Parallel processing for spectrum efficiency MU-MIMO (Uplink and Downlink)
• Small packet aggregation (using OFDMA) for reduced latency
• Longer guard interval for greater range outdoor links
• BSS Coloring helps increase channel reuse
• Better spectrum coexistence with other technologies e.g. Bluetooth, Zigbee
2.4 GHz No longer a junk band – It simply needs to work
