Configuring 802.11n
As the next generation wireless LAN technology, 802.11n supports both 2.4GHz and 5GHz bands. It
provides higher-speed services to customers by using the following methods:
1.
Increasing bandwidth: 802.11n can bond two adjacent 20-MHz channels together to form a 40-MHz
channel. During data forwarding, the two 20-MHz channels can either work separately with one
channel acting as the primary channel and the other acting as the secondary channel; or both can
work together as a 40-MHz channel. This provides a simple way of doubling the data rate.
2.
Improving channel usage through these methods:
802.11n introduces the A-MPDU frame format. By using only one PHY header, each A-MPDU can
accommodate multiple MPDUs which have their PHY headers removed. This reduces the overhead in
transmission and the number of ACK frames to be used, and improves network throughput.
Similar with MPDU aggregation, multiple MSDU can be aggregated into a single A-MSDU. This
reduces the MAC header overhead and improves MAC layer forwarding efficiency.
To improve physical layer performance, 802.11n introduces the short GI function, which shortens the GI
interval of 800 us in 802.11a/g to 400 us. This can increase the data rate by 10 percent.
