Nexxt Solutions – Wireless-N 3G router Appendix B: Glossary • 802.11n - 802.11n builds upon previous 802.11 standards by adding MIMO (multipleinput multiple-output). MIMO uses multiple transmitter and receiver antennas to allow for increased data throughput via spatial multiplexing and increased range by exploiting the spatial diversity, perhaps through coding schemes like Alamouti coding. The Enhanced Wireless Consortium (EWC) [3] was formed to help accelerate the IEEE 802.
