) A WLAN consultant has been asked to plan an 802.11n Greenfield deployment using dual-frequency 4×4 MIMO access points. What are the options available to provide power for the 802.1n access points? (Choose two that apply.)
- 802.3-2005 clause 33 PoE
- 802.3AT PoE
- . Proprietary PoE solution
- Battery pack
- . Electrical outlet power
Correct Answer(s)

A. . Proprietary PoE solution
A. . Electrical outlet power

Explanation

The options available to provide power for the 802.11n access points are a proprietary PoE solution and electrical outlet power. A proprietary PoE solution refers to a power over Ethernet solution that is specific to the manufacturer or vendor of the access points. This means that the access points can be powered using Ethernet cables, eliminating the need for separate power cables. Electrical outlet power refers to plugging the access points directly into a power outlet using a power adapter. Both of these options provide a reliable and convenient way to power the access points in a Greenfield deployment.

) How can a MIMO system increase throughput at the Physical layer? (Choose three that apply.)
- Spatial multiplexing
- A-MPDU
- Transmit beamforming
- 40 MHz channels
- Dual-CTS protection
Correct Answer(s)

A. Spatial multiplexing
A. Transmit beamforming
A. 40 MHz channels

Explanation

A MIMO system can increase throughput at the Physical layer through spatial multiplexing, transmit beamforming, and the use of 40 MHz channels. Spatial multiplexing allows multiple data streams to be transmitted simultaneously on different antennas, increasing the overall data rate. Transmit beamforming focuses the transmitted signal towards the intended receiver, improving signal strength and reducing interference. The use of 40 MHz channels allows for wider bandwidth, enabling higher data transmission rates.

- A-MPDU
- . Power Save protection
- PSMP
- SM power save
- PS mode
Correct Answer

A. SM power save

Explanation

SM power save is a power-management method defined by the 802.11n amendment that conserves power by powering down all but one radio. This method allows devices to enter a power-saving mode where only one radio remains active, reducing power consumption while still maintaining connectivity.

) The guard interval is used as a buffer to compensate for what type of interference?
- Co-channel interference
- Adjacent cell interference
- . RF interference
- HT interference
- Intersymbol interference
Correct Answer

A. Intersymbol interference

Explanation

The guard interval is used as a buffer to compensate for intersymbol interference. Intersymbol interference occurs when the symbols of a digital signal overlap due to channel distortion or other factors. The guard interval allows for a small amount of time between symbols, which helps to reduce the interference and ensure accurate signal transmission.

) Name some of the factors that a modulation and coding scheme (MCS) uses to define data rates for an HT radio. (Choose all that apply.)
- . Modulation method
- Equal/unequal modulation
- Number of spatial streams
- . GI
- Channel size
Correct Answer(s)

A. . Modulation method
A. Equal/unequal modulation
A. Number of spatial streams
A. . GI
A. Channel size

Explanation

A modulation and coding scheme (MCS) uses several factors to define data rates for an HT radio. The modulation method refers to the technique used to encode information onto the carrier signal, such as BPSK, QPSK, or 16-QAM. Equal/unequal modulation refers to whether all spatial streams use the same modulation or if they can use different modulations. The number of spatial streams indicates the number of simultaneous data streams transmitted over different antennas. The guard interval (GI) is the duration of a cyclic prefix inserted between symbols to mitigate multipath interference. Channel size refers to the bandwidth allocated for transmission. All these factors are considered by an MCS to determine the data rates for an HT radio.

How can an HT radio increase throughput at the MAC sublayer of the Data-Link layer? (Choose four that apply.)
- . A-MSDU
- . RIFS
- A-MPDU
- Guard interval
- . MTBA
Correct Answer(s)

A. . A-MSDU
A. . RIFS
A. A-MPDU
A. . MTBA

Explanation

An HT radio can increase throughput at the MAC sublayer of the Data-Link layer through the following methods:

1. A-MSDU (Aggregated MAC Service Data Unit): This technique allows multiple MAC service data units to be combined into a single frame, reducing overhead and increasing efficiency.

2. RIFS (Reduced Interframe Space): By reducing the interframe space between frames, the HT radio can decrease the idle time and increase the overall throughput.

3. A-MPDU (Aggregated MAC Protocol Data Unit): Similar to A-MSDU, A-MPDU combines multiple protocol data units into a single frame, improving efficiency and reducing overhead.

4. MTBA (Minimum Transmit Beamforming Antennas): By using beamforming technology, the HT radio can focus the transmission on the intended receiver, increasing the signal strength and improving throughput.

Transmit beamforming uses what type of frames to analyze the MIMO channel before transmitting directed paths of data?
- Action frames
- . Trigger frames
- Beaming frames
- Sounding frames
- SM power save action frames
Correct Answer

A. Sounding frames

Explanation

Sounding frames are used in transmit beamforming to analyze the MIMO channel before transmitting directed paths of data. These frames help in determining the channel characteristics, such as signal strength and interference, which are crucial for optimizing the beamforming process. By analyzing the MIMO channel using sounding frames, the transmitter can adjust the beamforming parameters and direct the data along the most favorable paths, improving the overall transmission performance.

A 3×4 MIMO radio transmits how many spatial streams of unique data?
- . Three
- . Four.
- Three equal and four unequal streams.
- None—the streams are not unique data.
Correct Answer

A. . Three

Explanation

The correct answer is three because in a 3x4 MIMO radio, there are three transmit antennas and four receive antennas. Each transmit antenna can send one spatial stream of unique data, so there are a total of three spatial streams of unique data being transmitted.
