Wi-Fi 8: Embracing the Millimeter-Wave Era

With the increasing demands in communication, Wi-Fi technology is advancing towards its next generation. Building on the foundation of Wi-Fi 7, millimeter-wave technology is anticipated to converge with Wi-Fi 8 in the near future. In this paper, we look into the millimeter-wave technology and other potential feasible features, providing a comprehensive perspective on the future of Wi-Fi 8. Our simulation results demonstrate that significant performance gains can be achieved, even in the presence of hardware impairments.
