Use of 60GHz by 802.11ad Means Very High Rate, Beamformed, Room Area Networking Lots of spectrum Small wavelength Propagates like light About 7 GHz of 60 GHz spectrum available (varies by country) Can go very fast even with only one RF chain Potential for lower cost and lower energy per bit 5mm wavelength, with range 20% less than 5GHz Multiple (<64) antennas can beam form for more range & less interference Device sync needed in dense environments Easily blocked by humans, whiteboards, books, wall & concrete This means poor range in typical environments But also less interference from neighbours Rates >1Gb/s Beam forming Room area networking 3
802.11ad Will Realistically be Able to Achieve PHY Rates of 4.6Gb/s @ ~10m Modulation MCS PHY rate (Mbps) Comment SC BPSK-r3/4 1200 Required OFDM QPSK-r3/4 2100 Plausible SC 16QAM-r3/4 4600 Plausible OFDM 64QAM-r13/16 6800 Mostly Plausible Properties: bandwidth = 2520MHz, spatial streams = 1 4

802.11ah is Focused on Wireless Applications Below 1 GHz 802.11 has been remarkably successful as a solution in 2.4GHz & 5GHz Flexibly & cheaply meeting the needs of users The obvious question is what about new applications in new bands? Intelligent Transportation System @5.9GHz was first 802.11ah is focused on lower power/rate & longer range in licence exempt bands below 1 GHz Excluding TV broadcast bands 7
The 802.11ah Applications will Tend to be Lower Power/Rate & Longer Range Proposed niche use cases Smartgrid Primary application Strong requirement for low power, low rate and long range Including bridging and mesh backhaul solutions Home security sensor network Consumer electronics, e.g. cameras Healthcare, e.g. bio-sensors 8

802.11af will Define Operations in TV White Space Bands The repacking of TV bands in many countries has resulted in opportunity for new unlicensed spectrum This spectrum is often called TV White Space (TVWS) New rules are being designed to protect existing users from interference from unlicensed devices Especially protecting digital TV & wireless microphones An amendment of 802.11, called 802.11af, is being defined to enable the use of this new spectrum 10
802.11af is Focusing on Using a Database to Avoid Interfering With Primary Users What is 802.11af specification? What will 802.11af achieve? Spectrum Channel width PHY Coexistence 470-698 MHz (UHF) VHF varies by country 6, 7, 8 MHz (vs 20/40 MHz in 802.11n) Probably based on 802.11ac Database enablement to avoid interfering with TV & licensed microphones Rate Range Less than traditional 802.11 due to narrow channels More (3.5x) than traditional 802.11 due to superior propagation of TVWS Geolocation data base will contain information about protected users; it will be able to authorise the use of a channel at a particular time, location & power for unlicensed operation 11

Cisco Apple Fast lane QoS Profiles QoS Profile Applications White List QoS Profile is pushed to the Apple ios device using standard ios Profiling techniques (MDM, email, Web-based, etc.) This profile has a white list of applications to be marked with QoS. All other traffic from the Apple device will be sent as best effort. Apple ios 10 Cisco AireOS 8.3 *By default, all applications are whitelisted. This means that if there is no profile, all apps get QoS. If there is a profile, only the apps in the profile get QoS BRKEWN-2010 22
