With multi-link operation\, Wi-Fi 7 can achieve a maximum t hroughput of 30 Gbps.\n\nWhile this peak throughput supports most existing applications\, it falls short of meeting the strict reliability demands o f emerging use cases such as the metaverse\, augmented and virtual reality \, robotics\, and industrial automation. These challenges are driving the development of the next generation—Wi-Fi 8.\n\nTo address these needs\, the IEEE 802.11 Task Group bn has been established to define Ultra High Re liability (UHR) PHY and MAC layers. Their goal is to improve WLAN reliabil ity\, reduce latency\, enhance manageability\, and increase throughput acr oss varying signal-to-noise ratios (SNRs).\n\nIn this talk\, we will ident ify and describe the key PHY and MAC elements that will shape Wi-Fi 8\, wh ich will operate in the 2.4 GHz\, 5 GHz\, and 6 GHz bands. We will also di scuss the enabling mechanisms under design and present performance results where appropriate.\n\nBio:\nDr. Cheng Chen is a Senior Staff Wireless Sta ndards Engineer at Intel Corporation. He leads Intel's standardization eff orts on Wi-Fi sensing (802.11bf) and integrated millimeter wave (802.11bq) within the IEEE 802.11 Working Group\, as well as Intel's Wi-Fi certifica tion programs within the Wi-Fi Alliance. He currently serves as Editor for the IEEE 802.11bq Task Group\, Technical Editor for the Wi-Fi 7 Technical Task Group\, and Vice Chair of the Wi-Fi Sensing Task Group in the Wi-Fi Alliance. He previously served as Technical Editor for the Wi-Fi 6 Technic al Task Group (July 2021–June 2022).\n\nDr. Chen is a Senior Member of t he IEEE and an IEEE ComSoc Distinguished Lecturer for the 2025–2026 term . He is an active contributor and voting member of multiple IEEE 802.11 st andards\, including 802.11ay (Next-generation 60 GHz Wi-Fi)\, 802.11be (Ex tremely High Throughput)\, 802.11bf (WLAN Sensing)\, 802.11bn (Ultra High Reliability)\, and 802.11bq (Integrated Millimeter Wave). He also contribu tes to several Wi-Fi Alliance certification programs\, including Wi-Fi 6\, Wi-Fi 6E\, Wi-Fi 7\, and Wi-Fi sensing.\n\nIn recognition of his outstand ing contributions across standards forums\, Dr. Chen has received multiple awards\, including the IEEE Standards Association Award for Outstanding C ontributions to IEEE 802.11ay and the Wi-Fi Alliance Leadership Recognitio n Award for the Wi-Fi 6 launch.\n\nDr. Chen earned his B.E. degree in Elec tronics and Information Engineering from Huazhong University of Science an d Technology\, Wuhan\, China\, in 2011\, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Electrical Engineering from Northwestern University\, Evanston\, IL\, in 2013 and 2016\, respectively.\n\nCo-sponsored by: Pradeep Kumar\n\nVirtual : https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/497970 LOCATION:Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/497970 ORGANIZER:pradeep@ieee.org SEQUENCE:35 SUMMARY:Oregon ComSoc: The Next Leap in Wireless: Inside the Evolution from Wi-Fi 7 to 8 URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/497970 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>&nbsp\;</p>\n<p><strong><img src="https:// events.vtools.ieee.org/vtools_ui/media/display/9a28657f-85f0-4ded-bc76-dc9 dbdc2f064" alt="" width="700" height="366"><br></strong></p>\n<p><span sty le="color: rgb(230\, 126\, 35)\;"><strong><span style="color: rgb(52\, 73\ , 94)\;">At the time of the event\, join us on Zoom</span> <a href="https: //simnet.zoom.us/j/92184919783?pwd=GHpuXcsNStX6j6dGIk5uuFt741bVbf.1">https ://simnet.zoom.us/j/92184919783?pwd=GHpuXcsNStX6j6dGIk5uuFt741bVbf.1</a></ strong></span></p>\n<p><strong>Abstract:</strong><br data-start="206" data -end="209">The arrival of Wi-Fi 7 in early 2024\, based on IEEE 802.11be\, marks a paradigm shift in wireless networking&mdash\;moving from single-l ink connections toward collaborative multi-link operation\, enabling great er capacity and lower latency.
