  1. Suggested Approach for 22 Mbps 802.11b Implementation Niels Van Erven 3Com Corporation November 2000 Niels Van Erven , 3Com

  2. Overview • Recommends an approach to 802.11b using • QPSK @ 11Msps • Technical Summary • Benefits • Issues • Summary Niels Van Erven , 3Com

  3. Technical Summary • QPSK • No special coding • 11 Msps (22 Mbps theoretical) • Backward-compatibility with existing 802.11b • Interoperable with 802.11b • Use common preambles • Logical extension to the current market Niels Van Erven , 3Com

  4. Technical Summary (2) • Minimal MAC changes • Minor state machine changes • Some critical firmware timing issues • Increased processing speed • Same interference characteristics as • encountered in 802.11b products • Typical QPSK characteristics • Spectral • Adjacent channel interference • Co-channel interference • RF PA backoff from 1dB • compression point Niels Van Erven , 3Com

  5. Technical Summary (3) • Complexity similar to 802.11b • Increased processing speed • No increased gate count • Elimination / bypassing of correlators • Equivalent RF/IF PHY complexity • Simplified equalizer possible due to • decreased range • Throughput almost double 802.11b • slightly less in order to accommodate • interoperability issues (preambles, etc) Niels Van Erven , 3Com

  6. Benefits • Minimal regulatory impact • Best coexistence strategy • Fastest time-to-market • Mature technology • Allows industry to leverage existing • research and investment • Builds on existing customer confidence • Minimizes market confusion while • providing differentiation • Will not be an anticipatory drag on the • 802.11b market Niels Van Erven , 3Com

  7. Issues • Reduced range • Common problem for all approaches • Sufficient for home use • Increased deployment of access points in • business environments • Potential for less interference when widely • deployed • Increased processing power • Common problem for all approaches • Streaming video will introduce higher • utilization rates - interference Niels Van Erven , 3Com

  8. Summary • Best compromise for technology, regulatory, • industry and customer needs • Minimal regulatory impact • Best coexistence strategy with all 2.4GHz users • Fastest time-to-market • Meets burgeoning customer need for speed • Mature technology • Level playing field for industry participants • Lowest risk/investment for best return Niels Van Erven , 3Com
