Introduction
WiGig (Wireless Gigabit Alliance) is the new brand
established by the Wi-Fi alliance for the IEEE 802.11ad
standard.
It is an extremely high-speed, but short range, local
networking technology.
Enables data rates up to 7Gbps, more than 10 times
the speed of the fastest Wi-Fi network based on IEEE
802.11n.
WiGig alliance Logo
The Wi-Fi Alliance created a
separate, unique logo for WiGig
to avoid confusion between the
standards.
Need For faster Wireless Connectivity
The Wireless world is evolving rapidly in response to the explosion of
intelligent devices, applications and data.
Specification
Support for data transmission rates up to 7 Gbps
• more than 10 times the speed of the fastest Wi-Fi
networks based on IEEE 802.11n
It operates in the unlicensed 60 GHz frequency band
• More spectrum available than the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz
bands used by existing Wi-Fi products.
• This allows wider channels that support faster
transmission speeds
Based on IEEE 802.11
• Provides native Wi-Fi support
• Enables devices to transparently switch between 802.11
networks operating in any frequency band including 2.4
GHz, 5 GHz and 60 GHz
Support for beamforming, maximizing signal strength and
enabling robust communication at distances beyond 10
meters
Advanced security using the Galois/Counter Mode of
the AES encryption algorithm
Support for high-performance wireless implementations
of HDMI, Display Port, USB and PCIe
Structure of Wi-Gig
Physical Layer(PHY)
Enables low power and high performance WiGig
devices.
Medium Access Control (MAC) Layer
Supports Advanced usage models.
Protocol Adaption Layers(PALs)
Allows wireless implementations.
Physical Layer (PHY)
WiGig specification defines four channels, each 2.16 GHz wide.
These wide channels support applications such as uncompressed
video transmission.
Supports 2types of modulation & coding schemes(MCS).
1. Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)
2. Single carrier (SC)
The schemes share common elements such as preamble
and channel coding.
This reduces implementation complexity for manufacturers
of WiGig devices.
Orthogonal frequency-division
multiplexing (OFDM)
It supports communication over longer distances with
greater delay spreads.
providing more flexibility in handling obstacles and
reflected signals.
Furthermore, OFDM allows the greatest transmission
speeds of up
to 7 Gbps.
Single carrier (SC)
Single carrier (SC) typically results in lower power
consumption
So it is often a better fit for small, low-power handheld
devices
SC supports transmission speeds up to 4.6 Gbps.
Medium Access Control(MAC)
layer
Network Architecture.
Power Management.
Advanced Security.
The MAC layer of the WiGig specification
includes:
New features that support
advanced usage models
Facilitate integration with Wi-Fi
networks
Reduce power consumption
Provide strong security
Network Architecture
The specification defines a new network architecture that
enables two devices to communicate directly with each other
allowing
• New uses such as rapidly synchronizing two devices .
• Transmitting audio-visual data to a projector or TV.
Beamforming
• Devices that support
beamforming focus their signals
toward each client, concentrating
the data transmission so that
more data reaches the targeted
device instead of radiating out
into the atmosphere.
• Plasma silicon Antenna.
WiGig
Beamforming
Support for beamforming is
defined within the PHY and MAC
layers of the WiGig specification.
Protocol Adaptation Layer
Defined by the WiGig Alliance to support specific data
and display standards over 60 GHz
PALs allow wireless implementations of these
standard interfaces that run directly on the WiGig MAC
and PHY
It can be implemented in hardware
The initial PALs are
audio-visual (A/V), which defines support for HDMI
and DisplayPort,
input-output (I/O), which defines support for USB and
PCIe
Usage Models
Conclusion
WiGig offers unrivaled raw speed, interference
resistance, good range, high capacity networking, multi-
gigabit real throughput in a handheld power envelope,
and near-wire equivalent latency.
Given these benefits, WiGig is well-suited for a broad
range of applications, from tri-band networking (2.4/5/60
GHz) to wireless storage and edge caching to wireless
docking.
