Abstract In recent decades, there has been a significant rise in global Internet users, devices, and connectivity. This, coupled with widespread digital transformation across industries and the increasing demand for bandwidth-intensive applications, has created a pressing need for faster and more universally accessible wireless networks. To address these challenges, the next generation of Wi-Fi, known as Wi-Fi 6 or IEEE 802.11ax, was initiated in 2014 and officially released in 2019. Wi-Fi 6 introduces technologies such as uplink Multi-User MIMO (MU-MIMO), Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA), and higher-order coding (1024-QAM) to enhance network capacity and transmission efficiency. Its primary goals include improving average user throughput by at least four times and supporting more concurrent users, particularly in dense environments, compared to its predecessor, Wi-Fi 5. Wi-Fi 6 represents a significant advancement in wireless technology, promising enhanced coverage, capacity, and performance to meet evolving Wi-Fi usage needs effectively.
