White Paper Overview

IEEE 802.11bn, the foundation of Wi-Fi 8, moves beyond the throughput focus of earlier Wi-Fi generations to deliver a better overall user experience. It provides ultra-high reliability (UHR), stable performance, reduced latency, seamless connectivity, spectrum and power efficiency, and smart coexistence, while maintaining the core physical-layer parameters introduced in Wi-Fi 7.

This white paper highlights the new PHY and MAC features of IEEE 802.11bn, including distributed resource units (DRU), enhanced long-range (ELR) capabilities, unequal modulation (UEQM), multi-AP coordination, improved roaming, non-primary channel access (NPCA), and dynamic subband operation (DSO).
