In this tutorial manuscript, we present the latest developments regarding one of the most successful wireless system standards, IEEE802.11 Wireless LAN. We focus our attention on the current 11ac amendments which brought us very high throughput transmission, and the soon-to-be finalized 11ax amendments, which will bring efficiency enhancements using orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA). The authors have had actively contributed and have proposals accepted (two for 11ac and one for 11ax). We then explore other trends in wireless LAN standardization such as the extremely high throughput amendment (11be) and wireless positioning amendment (11az).
