What statement is true concerning the use of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) in IEEE 802.11 WLANs?
802.11a and 11n use six (6) “pilot” subcarriers as a reference for the receiver to detect frequency and phase shifts of the signal.
802.11a/g/n OFDM includes several combinations of modulation and coding to achieve data rates from 1-600 Mbps.
With 802.11a OFDM, 16-QAM provides either 48 or 54 Mbps data rates, depending upon coding rates.
802.11ac VHT-OFDM utilizes 256-QAM, which increases the data rate significantly over 64-QAM available in HT-OFDM.
In 802.11a OFDM, fifty-six (56) subcarriers are used as parallel symbol transmission paths to carry data.
