Wi-Fi 8 for Mesh-Netzwerke schneller machen: MediaTek bestätt Details zum nächsten WLAN-Standard

Wi-Fi 8 is still backwards compatible with devices that only support older Wi-Fi standards. Der neue Standard führt above all Improvements for networks with multiple routers ein. Coordinated Spatial Reuse (Co-SR) allows routers to adjust the signal strength of different channels to ensure that the connection between routers in a mesh system remains stable, even when a router is heavily loaded by many end devices. According to MediaTek, Co-SR should increase the actual data rates in a mesh network by 15 to 25 percent.

Coordinated Beamforming (Co-BF) verhindert, dass mehrere Router zeitgleich dieselben Bereiche forcieren, und so für adzeichnen Interferenzen sorgen. By doing so, the network speed can be increased by up to 50 percent in a network with two routers. Durch Dynamic Sub-Channel Operation, each Router of eines Netzwerks über die Technik der Other Router Bescheid wissen, wichten Endgeräte intelligenter mit dem most usefull Router verdungen können werden verdungen. This technology should increase the data rate in the best case by up to 80 percent.
