Eldad Perahia is a Principal Engineer in the Standards and Technology Group at Intel Corporation. He is Chair of the IEEE 802.11 Very High Throughput in 60 GHz Task Group (TGad), the IEEE 802.11 Very High Throughput in <6 GHz Task Group (TGac) Coexistence Ad Hoc Co-Chair, the IEEE 802.11 liaison from the IEEE 802.19 Wireless Coexistence Working Group, and the former Chair of the IEEE 802.11 Very High Throughput Study Group. He was awarded his PhD in Electrical Engineering from the University of California, Los Angeles and holds 21 patents in various areas of wireless communications. Robert Stacey is a Wireless Systems Architect at Apple Inc. He is the IEEE 802.11 Very High Throughput in <6 GHz Task Group (TGac) Technical Editor and MU-MIMO Ad Hoc Co-Chair. He was a member of the IEEE 802.11 High Throughput Task Group (TGn) and a key contributor to the various proposals, culminating in the final joint proposal submission that became the basis for the 802.11n draft standard. He holds numerous patents in the field of wireless communications.

• 1. Introduction; 2. Orthogonal frequency division multiplexing; 3. MIMO/SDM basics; 4. PHY interoperability with 11a/g legacy OFDM devices; 5. High throughput; 6. Robust performance; 7. Very high throughput PHY; 8. Media access control; 9. MAC throughput enhancements; 10. Advanced channel access techniques; 11. Interoperability and coexistence; 12. MAC frame formats; 13. Transmit beamforming; 14. Multi-user MIMO; 15. Fast link adaptation.

Praise for the first edition: 'Books like this one are invaluable because they provide the details and the background that allow readers to answer the questions 'what is likely to be in the final standard?' and 'how does it work?' Eldad and Robert should be congratulated on taking up the challenge.' Andrew Myles, Chairman, WiFi Alliance
