Information technology - Telecommunications and information exchange between systems - Local and metropolitan area networks Specific requirements - Part 15-3: High data rate wireless multi-media networks
This standard defines PHY and MAC specifications for high data rate wireless connectivity (typically over 200 Mbps) with fixed@ portable@ and moving devices. Data rates are high enough to satisfy a set of consumer multimedia industry needs@ as well as to support emerging wireless switched point-to-point and high rate close proximity point-to-point applications. Purpose The purpose of this standard is to provide for low complexity@ low cost@ low power consumption@ and high data rate wireless connectivity among devices that support a variety of applications such as a set of consumer multimedia industry needs@ wireless switched point-to-point applications in data centers@ wireless backhaul/fronthaul intra-device communications@ and a wide variety of additional use cases such as rapid large multimedia data downloads and file exchanges between two devices in close proximity@ including between mobile devices and stationary devices (kiosks@ ticket gates@ etc.)@ and/or wireless data storage devices.
