802.11g
802.11g 20+ Mb/s using 2.4 GHz band using OFDM above 20Mbps, DSSS with Complementary Code Keying (CCK) below 20Mbps. Should reach 54 Mb/s under perfect conditions.
Notes:
CCK is a complex coding scheme like dqpsk to increase the number of bits encoded per baud reliably. Short for Complementary Code Keying, a set of 64 eight-bit code words used to encode data for 5.5 and 11Mbps data rates in the 2.4GHz band of 802.11b wireless networking. The code words have unique mathematical properties that allow them to be correctly distinguished from one another by a receiver even in the presence of substantial noise and multipath interference. CCK works only in conjunction with the DSSS technology that is specified in the original 802.11 standard. It does not work with FHSS. CCK applies sophisticated mathematical formulas to the DSSS codes, permitting the codes to represent a greater volume of information per clock cycle. The transmitter can then send multiple bits of information with each DSSS code, enough to make possible the 11Mbps of data rather than the 2Mbps in the original standard.
