Abstract :
IEEE 802.11n is the most recent amendment to the modern wireless technology commonly known as Wi-Fi; it builds upon previous 802.11 standards by defining new physical layer (PHY) and media access control (MAC) sublayer features. The most notable improvement of 802.11n is a maximum data rate of up to 600 Mbps, due to new high-throughput (HT) features including multiple-in multiple-out (MIMO), beamforming, and doubling channel bandwidth to 40 MHz.
