What statement is true concerning the use of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) in IEEE 802.11 WLANs?

The correct answer is D. 802.11ac VHT-OFDM utilizes 256-QAM, which increases the data rate significantly over 64- QAM. See the full explanation below for the reasoning.

Question

What statement is true concerning the use of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) in IEEE 802.11 WLANs?

Options

  • A802.11a and 11n use six (6) "pilot" subcarriers as a reference for the receiver to detect frequency
  • B802.11a/g/n OFDM includes several combinations of modulation and coding to achieve data rates
  • CWith 802.11a OFDM, 16-QAM provides either 48 or 54 Mbps data rates, depending upon coding
  • D802.11ac VHT-OFDM utilizes 256-QAM, which increases the data rate significantly over 64- QAM
  • EIn 802.11a OFDM, fifty-six (56) subcarriers are used as parallel symbol transmission paths to
