The WiFi family of standards (IEEE 802.11) is used for Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs). Its first version from 1997 has been extended by many amendments such as IEEE 802.11n-2009. This amendment was developed in particular for high throughputs of 600 Mbit/s on the air interface. The amendment is now part of IEEE 802.11-2012. The standard uses convolutional codes for forward error correction as minimum requirement. LDPC codes are optional within the standard but because of their superiority over convolutional codes they are widely used today. The Creonic IEEE 802.11 LDPC decoder is a high performance implementation for WLAN and further applications and supports all LDPC codes as defined by the standard.
