PQ6010 AND IPQ8072:OFDMA SUPPORT IN WIFI6 SOLUTION
Introduction:
In the dynamic landscape of wireless communication, the techniques employed play a crucial role in optimizing data transmission and overcoming challenges. Two key technologies, FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access) and OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access), are pivotal in this context. This blog aims to unravel the disparities between FDMA and OFDMA, shedding light on their applications and significance in mitigating multipath interference, particularly in the realm of Wi-Fi.
The Need for Multiple Carrier Technologies:
To comprehend the essence of OFDMA, it’s imperative to first delve into the concept of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). OFDM is a multicarrier modulation technique designed to combat multipath interference encountered in wireless communication. Multipath interference occurs when radio waves encounter obstacles, causing reflections and refractions. This phenomenon results in multiple versions of the same signal reaching the receiver, leading to what is known as multipath interference.
The Challenge of Inter-Symbol Interference:
Multipath interference directly contributes to intersymbol interference (ISI). In the realm of wireless communication, ISI poses a challenge where, for a given set of serial signals, the receiver encounters difficulty distinguishing between them. This challenge arises when the time delay between two identical signals is less than the signal’s transmission interval. The outcome is known as inter-symbol interference, making it arduous for the receiver to accurately decipher the intended signals.
OFDM as a Solution:
OFDM addresses this issue by transforming high-speed serial data into parallel low-speed data streams, thereby reducing inter-symbol interference. However, OFDM comes with its own set of drawbacks. In Wi-Fi 4/5, where communication is single-user-centric, each data transmission occupies all available subcarriers. This results in inefficiencies when small data packets, such as instant messages or web browsing, are transmitted, as the entire bandwidth is underutilized.
Introduction of OFDMA:
In response to this inefficiency, Wi-Fi 6 introduced OFDMA, borrowing a page from 5G’s playbook. OFDMA, despite its name’s resemblance to OFDM, is fundamentally a multiple access technique. Multiple access techniques distinguish different users, and common methods include FDMA, TDMA, and CDMA.
FDMA vs. OFDMA:
FDMA relies on allocating different frequency channels to different users. In the analogy of a gathering, it’s akin to separating rooms for distinct conversations. On the other hand, OFDMA divides the channel into Resource Units (RUs), each orthogonal to the others. In our gathering analogy, OFDMA creates individual compartments within a room, facilitating multiple conversations simultaneously.
Enhancing Efficiency with OFDMA:
OFDMA optimizes spectral efficiency by scheduling users in specific resource units instead of utilizing the entire channel for a single user, as seen in traditional OFDM. It introduces a more flexible approach, akin to efficiently utilizing a delivery vehicle by allocating designated compartments for different recipients.
Conclusion:
In summary, while OFDM successfully addresses multipath interference by transforming data streams, OFDMA takes a step further by introducing an innovative multiple access technique. By adopting OFDMA, Wi-Fi 6 has elevated efficiency in point-to-multipoint communication, ensuring that a single cycle completes communication with multiple users. This evolution underscores the dynamic nature of wireless communication technologies, continually adapting to enhance performance and meet the demands of evolving applications.

All new Tomac systems 11ac miniPCIe modules are now available in full-size standard 50.95 × 30 mm, even with a 4 × 4 MU-MIM solution.
RELIES ON QUALITY
524WiFi, founded in 2002, can successfully look back after 14 years of cooperation with Qualcomm. Some previous miniPCI Wi-Fi modules have become true legends. It can now exclusively use the latest Wi-Fi technologies developed by this world leader in wireless communication in all its miniPCIe Wi-Fi modules. In addition, we cooperate with an official ADC partner (Authorized Design Center) of Qualcomm and, in addition to reference designs, offers its customers support in customizing hardware and software designs.
CAN HANDLE HIGHER TEMPERATURES
524wifi has a long-standing good reputation in the field as a specialist in WiFi modules for demanding thermal conditions with an extended (-20 ° C to + 70 ° C) and industrial (-40 ° C to + 80 ° C) temperature range. However, the 524wifi now offers its Wi-Fi modules with an extended industrial temperature range (-40 ° C to + 85 ° C), which is marked with the letter “I” meaning Industrial. Usually, the upper limit of the operating temperature + 70 ° C is determined in relation to the surrounding area, ie outside the shielding of the Wi-Fi module. Since the temperature inside the shield is usually even higher than outside, we recommend using Wi-Fi modules with a sufficient safety margin for operating temperatures for high-speed data transmission. You will achieve long-term reliability in continuous operation.
WIDE OFFER
Most 11ac modules are available in both temperature ranges, ie in versions with and without the “I” marking. The enclosed tables provide a general overview of all available 11ac modules, divided into single and dual band types. Dual-band modules (operating in the 2.4 and 5GHz frequency bands) include 4 proven 2 × 2 and 3 × 3 MIMO modules: WLE600VX-I, WLE 900VX-I, 524WiFi 900VX Pro+ and 600VX Pro+. The first two modules represent industrial versions of the long-selling best-selling module based on the QCA 9890 chipset. Version Pro+ is a standard commercial version now with improved parameters. We also offer single-band Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) and MU-MIMO 4 × 4 Wi-Fi 5 modules based on popular Mediatek chipset
HIGH PERFORMANCE
Usually, these single-band modules differ in the antenna configuration used, and thus in the resulting data rate of 867Mbps @ MU MIMO 2 × 2, 1.3Gbps@MU MIMO 3 × 3 and 1.7Gbps@MU MIMO 4 × 4. Another characteristic feature is their output power. The WLE650V5-18A product family supports a maximum output power of 18dBm @ 5Ghz, the WLE650V5-25A range of high-performance modules offers an output power of 25 dBm @ 5 GHz. All 5GHz single-band modules have in common that they support multi-user (MU-MIMO) as well as 80 MHz + 80 MHz channel pooling for 1SS or 2SS (SS = Spatial Stream).
STANDARD WITH HEATSINK
Due to the high throughput and heating, all single-band modules are equipped with a heatsink as standard. However, Tomorrow systems is ready to meet any customer requirements and, according to their wishes, install them with coolers as desired, or deliver them without them due to lack of space for installation.
PREPARATION FOR IOT
While single-band modules specialize in 802.11ac and 802.11an @ 5GHz, dual-band modules also offer 802.11b / g / n @ 2.4 GHz standards. In the future, it will be even more important for the Wi-Fi module to handle a large number of simultaneously connected clients. Just like on a train, up to 50 passengers are connected to one Wi-Fi module, in the future it will not be an exception that 50 household devices will communicate with your Wi-Fi router in your home, so you must pay close attention to choosing a suitable Wi-Fi module! 524wifi modules will be ready.
FAVORITE TRANSPORT CHOICE
This is another area where 524wifi modules are gaining ground. For their reliability, stability, performance and a large number of connectable clients, our popular 524wifi 600vx Pro+ and 900vx Pro+ modules have become widely used in buses, trains, airports and train terminals throughout Europe, not only within the “Wi-Fi for passengers” application. “. They have also become very popular in the Czech Republic, where you can find them on trains on Czech railways and on buses. For example, public transport in Brno and Ostrava have opted for them, and the international carrier FlixBus, for example, also uses them in its buses.
READY FOR LTE 5G
Currently, most of the 524WiFi 600VX Pro+ and 900VX Pro+ modules are used for “Wi-Fi for passengers”, which are installed in special Embedded routers with the Linux system and, thanks to today’s best Wi-Fi chip from Qualcomm – QCA9880 – provide a stable and fast connection for 50 or more passengers in a bus or train (one wagon). The great advantage of this chip is that it is dual-band and can handle a large number of connected users, thus saving the need for additional HW (reduces the number of required routers). They also take care of the communication of the vehicle with the depot and transmit information obtained on the route from the control computer in the car. The internet connection to the car is solved by LTE modules – ie from mobile operators. However, the system is already ready for LTE 5G and carriers have already tested that all passengers on the bus will then be able to stream HD video.

IPQ6010 AND IPQ8072:OFDMA SUPPORT IN WIFI6 SOLUTION
Introduction:
In the dynamic landscape of wireless communication, the techniques employed play a crucial role in optimizing data transmission and overcoming challenges. Two key technologies, FDMA (Frequency Division Multiple Access) and OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access), are pivotal in this context. This blog aims to unravel the disparities between FDMA and OFDMA, shedding light on their applications and significance in mitigating multipath interference, particularly in the realm of Wi-Fi.
The Need for Multiple Carrier Technologies:
To comprehend the essence of OFDMA, it’s imperative to first delve into the concept of OFDM (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing). OFDM is a multicarrier modulation technique designed to combat multipath interference encountered in wireless communication. Multipath interference occurs when radio waves encounter obstacles, causing reflections and refractions. This phenomenon results in multiple versions of the same signal reaching the receiver, leading to what is known as multipath interference.
The Challenge of Inter-Symbol Interference:
Multipath interference directly contributes to intersymbol interference (ISI). In the realm of wireless communication, ISI poses a challenge where, for a given set of serial signals, the receiver encounters difficulty distinguishing between them. This challenge arises when the time delay between two identical signals is less than the signal’s transmission interval. The outcome is known as inter-symbol interference, making it arduous for the receiver to accurately decipher the intended signals.
OFDM as a Solution:
OFDM addresses this issue by transforming high-speed serial data into parallel low-speed data streams, thereby reducing inter-symbol interference. However, OFDM comes with its own set of drawbacks. In Wi-Fi 4/5, where communication is single-user-centric, each data transmission occupies all available subcarriers. This results in inefficiencies when small data packets, such as instant messages or web browsing, are transmitted, as the entire bandwidth is underutilized.
Introduction of OFDMA:
In response to this inefficiency, Wi-Fi 6 introduced OFDMA, borrowing a page from 5G’s playbook. OFDMA, despite its name’s resemblance to OFDM, is fundamentally a multiple access technique. Multiple access techniques distinguish different users, and common methods include FDMA, TDMA, and CDMA.
FDMA vs. OFDMA:
FDMA relies on allocating different frequency channels to different users. In the analogy of a gathering, it’s akin to separating rooms for distinct conversations. On the other hand, OFDMA divides the channel into Resource Units (RUs), each orthogonal to the others. In our gathering analogy, OFDMA creates individual compartments within a room, facilitating multiple conversations simultaneously.
Enhancing Efficiency with OFDMA:
OFDMA optimizes spectral efficiency by scheduling users in specific resource units instead of utilizing the entire channel for a single user, as seen in traditional OFDM. It introduces a more flexible approach, akin to efficiently utilizing a delivery vehicle by allocating designated compartments for different recipients.
Conclusion:
In summary, while OFDM successfully addresses multipath interference by transforming data streams, OFDMA takes a step further by introducing an innovative multiple access technique. By adopting OFDMA, Wi-Fi 6 has elevated efficiency in point-to-multipoint communication, ensuring that a single cycle completes communication with multiple users. This evolution underscores the dynamic nature of wireless communication technologies, continually adapting to enhance performance and meet the demands of evolving applications.
