RF TechnologyOFDM
Frequency Spectrum5.0 GHz
CodingConvolution Coding[*]
ModulationBPSK, QPSK, 16-QAM, 64-QAM depending on the subcarrier.
Data Rates6, 9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 48, 54 Mbps with OFDM
Nonoverlapping ChannelsEach band has 4; the middle 8 are used with 52 subcarriers on each channel


[*] Convolution coding is a form of error correction in which redundant information analogous to a parity bit in a file system is added to the data. The error correction is calculated across all the subcarriers, so if narrowband interference corrupts data on one subcarrier, the receiver can reconstruct that data using the convolution coding on another subcarrier.1
