This talk provides a concise yet technically grounded overview of the evolution of next-generation Wi-Fi technologies, focusing on the IEEE 802.11 family of standards. It traces the progression from legacy Wi-Fi generations to recent and emerging standards such as IEEE 802.11be (Wi-Fi 7) and IEEE 802.11bn (Wi-Fi 8), highlighting key innovations in spectrum utilization, multi-user access (OFDMA, MU-MIMO), latency reduction, and deterministic performance. The session further examines how these advancements support high-density environments, ultra-reliable low-latency communications (URLLC), and integration with 5G/6G ecosystems. Particular attention is given to standardization challenges, coexistence in unlicensed spectrum, and the role of Wi-Fi in enabling AI-driven, context-aware networking. The talk concludes by outlining future research directions and standardization trends shaping upcoming developments.
