The next version of Wi-Fi might detect your movement in home
Wi-Fi is an important connectivity standard we rely on an almost daily basis. The standard was formed by IEEE's 802 connectivity group when it began exploring possibilities around wireless connectivity. Originally, the group was investigating solutions under 802.4 (the wireless bus group), but it quickly spun off and became the 802.11 - the group we know today as people who shape the standard.
Last year, Wi-Fi.org, the organization which handles Wi-Fi standards, released a new protocol called the Wi-Fi 6. The core aim of Wi-Fi 6 is to improve the efficiency of the standard, and allow as many devices as possible to connect to a single source and share the spectrum without sacrificing speed.
Now, IEEE is exploring new possibilities with Wi-Fi's upcoming standard, the 802.11be, such as inter-vehicle connectivity and movement detection in a house. Paul Nikolich, Chairman IEEE 802, told me the main feature would be to get high throughput so multiple devices can connect to the network and exchange data at Gigabit speed over a longer range.
