無線加速數(shù)據(jù)傳輸和通信

　　現(xiàn)在幾乎所有的系統(tǒng)都是無線的，而不僅僅是連接到互聯(lián)網(wǎng)。為連接筆記本電腦、平板電腦、平板電視、Blu Ray播放器、音頻系統(tǒng)、家庭醫(yī)療系統(tǒng)，甚至是白色家電（冰箱、恒溫器、空調(diào)和供暖系統(tǒng)等），幾乎可以成為連接系統(tǒng)的免費連接。連接所有的設(shè)備，大量的無線接口，包括蜂窩無線電（GSM、LTE等），藍牙，Wi-Fi的多種形式（802.11xx，Miracast，WiDi，WiGig）、ZigBee、Z-Wave無線接口，而其他如WISA（無線揚聲器和音頻協(xié)會）。

　　以前的文章研究的進展發(fā)生與藍牙接口（見，例如，在高新區(qū)的文章“藍牙是超低功耗”和“藍牙低功耗技術(shù)不只是一個藍牙版本–這是一個全新的技術(shù)”），所以這篇文章將集中在Wi-Fi和其他非藍牙無線的進展。

　　In the Wi-Fi arena， the fifth-generation Wi-Fi is called 802.11ac.The ac standard defines the Wi-Fi interface operating at 5.4 GHz， with backward compatibility with the popular 802.11n standard， which is in wide use today. There are several options when implementing the 802.11ac interface depending on the data transfer speed desired – the maximum data rate when a 3 x 3 or 4 x 4 MIMO transmit/receive interface is implemented can hit about 1.3 Gbits/s， and that speed drops to 866.7 Mbits/s for a 2 x 2 channel system. Additionally， a 1 x 1 transmit/receive system can deliver a data transmission speed of 433.3 Mbits/s， which is almost triple the speed of today’s 802.11n Wi-Fi interfaces. Keep in mind， however， that as with all other flavors of 802.11 the actual throughput users will get with 802.11ac will be much less than the raw throughput. Table 1 offers a brief comparison of 802.11n and 802.11ac characteristics.
