  1. Response to Call For Proposal for P802.11n Hervé Bonneville, Bruno Jechoux Mitsubishi ITE1, allee de Beaulieu, 35700 Rennes, Francee-Mail: {bonneville,jechoux}@tcl.ite.mee.com H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  2. Our vision • Ethernet: • Topology had to change for 100 Mbit/s and above • No more a shared bus • Collisions shall be avoided to get performances • Physical layer enhancements might be sufficient to compensate MAC lack of efficiency on TGn simulation scenarios • but at which cost in terms of complexity? • AND Customers and applications evolution are not limited to IEEE simulation scenarios! • Let’s anticipate these needs right now! H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  3. System Objectives • QoS support • Efficient resource usage • Compatibility • Versatile and Flexible • No added complexity H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  8. Derived MAC enhancements • TDMA frame embedded in 802.11e superframe • Centralised on demand resource allocation with Resource announcement, • efficient even with simple Round Robin scheduler per priority • Fast selective repeat ARQ with Buffer management • Short and fixed size MAC-PDU with MAC Header compression • Aggregation at PHY level (1 to several destination) H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  9. Stack overview • MAC layer is enhanced with the “Extended Centralised Coordination Function” mode (ECCF). • Functions are distributed over 4 sub-layers 802.2 LLC 802.2 LLC ECCF MAC Legacy 802.11 MAC Packet Sequence Number Assignments MAC Header Compression LLCCS Sequence Number Assignments Fragmentation Encryption MDU Header + CRC SAR Segment Sequence Number Assignments Segmentation/Re-Assembly Error and Flow Control MIS Encryption MPDU Header Signalling Insertion MLS PHY PHY H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  10. Frame structure and timing • 802.11 MAC Super Frame & Beacon kept for compatibility. • A part of the Contention Free Period (CFP) divided into MAC Time Frame (MTF) of fixed duration (for example 2 ms). • Resource scheduling performed on a per MTF basis. Time Intervals (TI) of variable duration dynamically allocated to STAs within an MTF. 802.11 MAC Super Frame CFP CP CFP MTF Period for ECCF Period for PCF/HCCA access Period for DCF/EDCA access Period for ECCF Beacon Beacon Beacon Information CF Parameter Set ECCF Parameter Set H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  11. Frame structure and timing (cont.) • ECCF insertion into CAP: CAP generated by the HC using CF-Poll data frame as defined in the 802.11e extension. • CF-Poll contains the RRM MAC address (HC and RRM can be distinct) as destination address, and allocates a reserved time period for ECCF. • CAP is split by the RRM into successive MTFs of fixed duration, each being described by a PGPM broadcast at the beginning of the MTF. SIFS PIFS MTF DIFS CF-Poll PGPM PGPM Data Data CAP Legacy MAC frame ECCF MAC frame H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  12. Frame structure and timing (cont.) • TI constituted of one MPDU = data unit exchanged with the PHY layer as in legacy 802.11 • MPDU contains two parts: signalling and data • contents defined by the emitter (source STA) • data and signalling can be intended for one or more destination STAs • Possible long PHY bursts • MTF composition defined in a specific MPDU = PGPM MTF MPDU MPDU MPDU MPDU PGPM Data Data Data Data PGPM TI#0 TI#1 TI#2 TI#3 TI#4 H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

MIS-PDU MIS-PDU MIS-PDU MIS-PDU HDR CRC HDR CRC HDR CRC HDR CRC Fixed size segments (2 possible lengths) Fixed size segments (2 possible lengths) MTF structure (cont.) • MTF structure example with flow aggregation: • Station 1 transmits data to stations 2 and 3 in one MPDU (PHY burst) only • PHY mode may be different for each pair Sent by RRM Received by All (TI #0) (TI #1) H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  15. HDR HDR MIS-PDU MIS-PDU CRC CRC Data Segmentation • Short and fixed-size segments • better robustness against errors remaining above PHY layer • Segmentation and Re-assembly (SAR) sub-layer introduced to perform adaptation between LLC and MAC. • Simulations have been made with two segment sizes (Long and Short, 128 and 61 octets of payload). Good trade-off between: • MAC signaling overhead added to each segment • Segmentation overhead due to padding added to reach a predetermined size in the last segment LLC Long Short Segmentation overhead MAC signalling overhead SAR Sub-Layer (MAC) SAR-SDU Data Segment Segment Segment MIS (MAC) HDR MIS-PDU CRC H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  16. Power Saving • Inherent power saving facilities • An active STA doesn’t need to listen to all MPDUs • Only resource grants announcements and traffic it is destined to • STA may be on a low power scheme otherwise • Long-term power saving: • RRM allows an STA to enter sleep mode when it has no more traffic to schedule for it • RRM will grant resource to that STA after the sleeping period • During sleep mode, traffic is buffered in any source STA as there is no resource granted for it • Compatible with direct link communication H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  17. Simulations • Unique MAC configuration (no knob activation nor parameter tuning depending on the context or scenario) • Simulation conditions: • MAC, EC and segmentation overhead fully taken into account • Dynamic resource allocation based on requests from STA • Simple Round Robin scheduler (per priority level), 2 priority classes • No contention period, 2 ms long MTF • PHY modes • SISO in 20 MHz or 40 MHz (up to 108 Mbit/s) • MIMO (2x2 up to 3x3), 20 or 40 MHz (from 54 Mbit/s up to 405 Mbit/s) • PHY abstraction in system simulation (preliminary configuration) • Uniform PER in the BSS (all the STA see the same PER) • Simulated PER: 0, 3.10-2, up to 1.5 10-1 (equivalent to 0; 3.10-1; 8.5 10-1 for 1500 bytes packets) H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  18. ECCF Scalability • Goodput at MAC SAP vs PHY data rate (point-to-point scenario) • linear variation • Slight impact of the PER on MAC efficiency • retransmission with low signalling SR-ARQ • MAC efficiency: • Constant vs PHY rate • High level: [76% ; 86%] • Fully scalable for high bit rates Results valid whatever the application packet size (c.f.segmentation) H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  19. Mixed traffic handling • Capacity usage at MAC-SAP vs. Number of VoIP sessions • 1 TCP data flow transmitted using MIMO 126Mbit/s • VoIP: 120-byte packets emitted every 10 ms (2x96kbit/s) • n VoIP sessions, using MIMO or SISO • 30 VoIP sessions + at least 70 Mbit/s of TCP traffic H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  20. Delay performances • IEEE TGn Usage models : Scenario I (Home) • Traffic classification based on priority level (VoIP > TCP) • Delay comparison for different error rate [cdf(d>D)] • Strong QoS constraints of VoIP reached: • with a simple centralised scheduling • an efficient ARQ • Max delay below 20 ms for QoS traffic H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  21.

  23. Simulation results for Scenario 6 • Scenario 6: • all data flow transmitted using 40 MHz 64QAM 3/4 SISO • Modified scenario 6bis: • Infinite TCP sources + Multiple PHY modes (24 - 405 Mbit/s) • QoS requirements can be achieved with 93 Mbit/s at PHY • > 67% MAC efficiency • 79 Mbit/s available at MAC-SAP (185 Mbit/s avg at PHY) H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  24. Results conclusion • QoS requirements supported (throughput and delay) • High level MAC efficiency for all scenarios • Flexibility ensured, without context-dependent tuning • Overall support of 11n simulations scenarios with a 120 Mbps PHY layer H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE

  25. Feasibility • Nothing futuristic • TDMA has been used for 20-30 years • Present in many systems (GSM, 802.15, 802.16…) • Just one step further than HCCA • Proven technologies • Centralised RRM • Simple scheduler • Classical ARQ • Moderate complexity implementation • not more complex than 802.11e (HCCA) H.Bonneville, B.Jechoux, Mitsubishi ITE
