  Future wireless applications such as high definition video streaming,
wireless cloud radio access networks, and cellular data offload are
bandwidth-hungry, which highlights the need for Wi-Fi links exceeding 1 Gb/s.
This article discusses coding schemes and, in particular, the use of
Low-Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes as Forward Error Correction (FEC) in
future Wi-Fi standards. Moreover, we consider advanced design strategies such
as root-check LDPC structures, computer-aided design for short blocks and
high-performance decoding algorithms with low latency. We then conclude the
article with a discussion of FEC challenges for future Wi-FI applications.
