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 7 Gbps, more than 10
times the speed of the fastest Wi-Fi networks
based on IEEE 802.11n.

Introduction
WiGig Alliance
Logo
• The Wi-Fi Alliance
created a separate,
unique logo for WiGig to
avoid confusion between
the standards.

WiGig and IEEE 802.11ad
• IEEE 802.11ad is an amendment to the 802.11
standard that enables multi-gigabit wireless
communications in the 60 GHz band.
• The WiGig specification was contributed to
the IEEE 802.11ad standardization process.
• Most commonly used, 802.11n operates in the
2.4-GHz and 5-GHz bands
• While newer 802.11ac products operate in
the 5-GHz band

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

enabling robust communication at distances beyond 10
meters
• Advanced security
• Support for high-performance wireless implementations of
HDMI, DisplayPort, USB and PCIe
• Virtually instantaneous file transfers between computers and

Protocol Adaptation Layers (PALs)
• 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

Physical Layer (PHY)
• Worldwide, the 60 GHz band has much more spectrum
available than the 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands
– typically 7 GHz of spectrum, compared with 83.5 MHz in the 2.4 GHz
band
• This spectrum is divided into multiple channels, it has 4
channels each of 2.16GHZ band which is 50 times wider than
as specified in 802.11n.
• The channels are much wider, enabling multi-gigabit data
rates
• The wide channels enable WiGig to support applications that
require extremely fast communication, such as uncompressed
video transmission.

Medium Access Control (MAC) Layer
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

Modulation & Coding Scheme (MCS)
• The specification supports two types of modulation and
coding schemes, which provide different benefits:
Orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing
(OFDM)
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 speed,
• 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.

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

Advantages
• Seamless Multi-band Operation:
Multi-Band operation enables the user to transmit data at 60GHZ,if
that band
is not available then automatically switches to 2.4GHZ,5GHZ.
• Power Management:
WIGIG devices can take advantage of reducing the power. If two
devices
communicate with through directional link with periods, In between
those
periods they can rest to save power. This feature especially
important for
mobiles.
• Advanced Security:

• In summary, 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 to wireless docking.
