  • Abstract
    The advent of bandwidth-hungry wireless applications such as large file transfer, high definition video streaming, wireless display, and cellular data offload highlight the impending need for larger bandwidth and super speed WiFi links exceeding 1 Gb/s. This article introduces two emerging standards likely to shake the wireless world, namely IEEE 802.11ac and IEEE 802.11ad, and identifies the challenges in the path of multi-gigabit WiFi. We study the suitability of these standards for the new usage models enlisted in this article.
