Notes: R8 will reach 42 Mbps by combining 2x2 MIMO and HOM (64QAM) in 5 MHz, or by utilizing HOM (64QAM) and multicarrier in 10 MHz. R9 combines multicarrier and MIMO in 10 MHz to reach
4 84 Mbps peak rates. Uplink multicarrier double the uplink peak data rate to 23 Mbps in 10 MHz in R9. R10 expands multicarrier to 20 MHz to potentially reach 168 Mbps when using MIMO.
