  2. Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) - A Simple Instant Channel Replacement Approach for both ACL and SCO Hongbing Gan, Vitaliy Sapozhnykov, Bijan Treister, Stan Skafidas, et. al. Bandspeed Inc. H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  3. Benefits of the Simple AFH Approach Mechanism • Channel replacement on a per channel pair basis instantly, NO complicated ACL and SCO partition sequence generator is needed. • A simple AFH mechanism to cover all traffic types (ACL, SCO, Mixed ACL/SCO), high priority traffic such as SCO can get more good channels • A simple AFH to cover both low power and high power modes • Better backward compatibility with legacy devices • Master’s Transmitting channels are kept in the original positions in the hoping sequence, good for piconet synchronization, broadcast, Park mode, Sniff mode, beacon channel, etc. • Legacy devices also benefits from the new AFH approach • Random number generator seamlessly integrated • A harmonized simple AFH mechanism H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  4. Definition of Channel Pair A Channel Pair is comprised of two channels: • First channel, Master Tx/Slave Rx channel, at even-numbered timeslot • Second channel, Slave Tx/Master Rx, i.e., Slave return channel, at odd-numbered timeslot Channel Pair Channel Pair Master Tx Rx Tx Rx f1 f3 f2 f4 Slave Rx Tx Rx Tx Odd-numbered Timeslot Even-numbered Timeslot Odd-numbered Timeslot Even-numbered Timeslot H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  5. Definitions • N: Total number of hopping channels • Nmin: Minimum number of channels to be used, set by regulations such as FCC • G: Good channel • B: Bad channel • BN: Bad channel to be removed legally from the hopping sequence • BK: Bad channel to keep in the hopping sequence • NG, NB, NBN, NBK: Number of good channel, Number of bad channel, Number of bad channel to remove, Number of bad channel to keep, respectively • N = NG + NB • NB = NBK + NBN H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  6. AFH Covers All Possible Channel Classification Scenarios • Scenario 1: NBN > 0, NBK= 0 (Ideal scenario) • All Bad channels are replaced with Good channels in the new hopping sequence • (e.g., in lower power mode, all bad channels removed ) • Scenario 2: NBN > 0, NBK > 0, • AFH removes BN , replaces it with randomly selected good channels G or BK (to maintain equal channel usage of G and BK), • AFH intelligently use BK in the new hoping sequence • (e.g., in high power mode, a maximum of 4 channels can be removed, the rest bad channels if any have to be kept) H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  7. AFH Covers All the Traffic Types H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  8. AFH Approach - Standard Instant Channel Replacement (Standard ICR) (Details in IEEE 802.15 Document 01/435r0, 01/438r0) H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  9. G B G B G G B B G B B G B G B G Principle of Standard ICR Pass Re-transmission Blocked Blocked Original New Pass Pass Blocked Blocked • Original ‘Good Good’ and ‘Bad Bad’ channel pairs are kept in their original positions in the hopping sequence • ‘Good Bad’ channel pairs are instantly replaced to ‘Good Good’ channel pairs • ‘Bad Good’ channel pairs are instantly replaced to ‘Bad Bad’ channel pair • Throughput improved due to newly created ‘Good Good’ channel pairs H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  10. Flowchart A: Used for Master Tx/Slave Rx timeslots, i.e., Even-numbered timeslot H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  11. Flowchart B: Used for Slave Tx/Master Rx timeslots, i.e., Odd-numbered timeslot H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  12. Standard ICR Processing Table In case Master TX BN replaced with a G In case Master TX BN replaced with a BK • When NO BK, Case 1, 3 ,4, 6 are processed • When NO BN, Case 1, 2, 10, 11 are processed H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  14. AFH Approach - ‘Fit Best’ Instant Channel Replacement (Fit Best ICR) The only difference from Standard ICR is that higher priority traffic such as SCO voice link can have more good channels H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  15. How Fit Best ICR works • At higher priority timeslots such as reserved HV2 SCO timeslots: • Case 1: ‘Good Good’ ‘Good Good’ • Case 2: ‘Good Bad’ ‘Good Good’ • Case 3: ‘Bad Good’‘Good Good’ • Case 4: ‘Bad Bad’ ’Good Good’ • For every Case 3 replacement, a Good Channel Usage Debt (GUD) Counter is incremented by 1; For every Case 4 replacement, the GUD Counter is incremented by 2. • At lower priority timeslots, if there is any GUD debt, it must be repaid • ‘Good Bad’ ‘Bad Bad’ , to repay the GUD by 1; • ‘Good Good’ ‘Bad Bad’, to repay the GUD by 2. • If No GUD debt, just do standard ICR. • GUD balance is always towards ZERO, to maintain equal channel usage H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  16. Fit Best ICR Processing Table At timeslots for higher priority traffic, such as voice HV2 Repay the debt At timeslots for lower priority traffic Repay the Good Channel Usage Debt (GUD) H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  17. General Principle of Fit Best ICR • For HV2 and HV3 link: • Fit the best channels to channel pairs of the reserved SCO Timeslots • For mixed SCO + ACL: • Fit the best channels to channel pairs of the reserved SCO Timeslots, if SCO has higher priority • Fit the best channels to channel pairs of the ACL Timeslots, if ACL has higher priority • Use Standard ICR if neither ACL nor SCO has higher priority H. Gan, V. Sapozhnykov, et. al.

  21. Conclusion • A simple AFH mechanism to cover all traffic types (ACL, SCO, Mixed ACL/SCO), high priority traffic such as SCO can get more good channels • A simple AFH to cover both low power and high power modes • AFH removes as many Bad channels as legally possible • Kept Bad channels are intelligently used in the hopping sequence • The AFH channel replacement works on a per channel pair basis instantly, NO complicated ACL and SCO partition sequence generator is needed. • Better backward compatibility with legacy devices. Master’s Tx channels are kept in the original positions in the hoping sequence, good for piconet synchronization, broadcast, Park mode, Sniff mode, beacon channel, etc. • Legacy devices also benefits from the new AFH approach • A harmonized simple AFH mechanism H.
