Abstract
The new WiFi 11ax standard carries several improvements compared to its 11g/ac predecessor. It supports multi-user MIMO and uses OFDMA modulation, which enables users to share the same channel via allocated Resource Units (RU). In addition, it provides transmit power adjustments for better operation in a dense environment. Furthermore, the standard calls for the support of MCS11 1024-QAM modulation with target transmit (TX) EVM of −35dB, which results in nearly 25% higher throughput compared to MCS9 256QAM. In order to improve user experience to guarantee signal quality between walls and obstacles, a
