Introduction
IEEE 802.11n is wireless Network standard that In compare with prior standards have very higher speed from 54 Mbit/s to 600 Mbit/s this standard improve network throughput over the two previous standards 802.11a and 802.11g .802.11n standardized support for multiple-input multiple-output and frame aggregation, and security improvements, among other features. With speeds of up to 600 Mbps, the emerging 802.11n standard is the next generation of wireless networking, delivering the speed, range, and reliability to support the most bandwidth intensive applications. 802.11n incorporates multiple technologies including Spatial
Multiplexing MIMO (Multi-In, Multi- Out), 20 and 40 MHz channels, and dual bands (2.4 GHz and 5 GHz) to generate the high speeds and at the same time communicate with 802.11b/g devices. 802.11n specification was approved in are committed to collaborating with the IEEE
and WiFi Alliance to ensure that 802.11n devices will interoperate at the highest speeds networks. without degrading performance of neighboring 802.11b/g wireless
802.11 N vs 802.11a/b/g
Here in blowe we will have a brief compartion between other wireless standards and Wireless N standard . if you check 2 last column you can see that Wireless N Outdoor & indoor range (70 m 250 m ) is higher than other Standards .

In multi-user MIMO, a multi-antenna transmitter communicates simultaneously with multiple receivers This is known as space-division multiple access (SDMA) and because 802.11 use MIMO for transmit and receive data and because MIMO use multilayer for working 802.11 use precoding techniques for this actions . Precoding is a generalization of beamforming to support multi-layer transmission in multi-antenna wireless communications .
