 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.
