Which new enhancement was implemented in Wi-Fi 6?
A. 4096 Quadrature Amplitude Modulation Mode
B. Channel bonding
C. Wi-Fi Protected Access 3
D. Uplink and Downlink Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access
Correct Answer: D
Perhaps the most important new capability introduced with Wi-Fi 6 is Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA). This RF modulation technique allows multiple Wi-Fi 6 clients to simultaneously receive data during the same transmit opportunity. Allowing more information for multiple devices to be transmitted in parallel during a particular window of opportunity, all while reducing some of the traditional overhead of sending the same amount of information independently.
OFDMA divides a channel into further subcarriers compared to Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM).
