Market Needs (Usage models)
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

Mapping the usages to rates
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.

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

8. 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

VHT
A new 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.

Suggested path for VHT
To define standardized modifications to the MAC and PHY layers to operate in the 60 GHz band to achieve at least 5Gbps of over -the-air data rate.

Broad Market Potential
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+)

Compatibility
Backwards compatible to earlier IEEE standards
Triple-band WiFi
Precedent: .11b/g are single band standards 11n which came later is a dual band standard.

January 2008
Distinct Identity
Substantially different from other 802 standards
Proposed speeds are substantially higher than the maximum n rates ~ 10 times higher
Addresses non-PAN market needs; e.g., traffic backhaul and campus/auditorium connectivity.

15. Technical Feasibility
July 2007

Technical Feasibility
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.

Economic Feasibility
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
