Why 20 MHz Channelization in HTSG? John Terry, Ph.D NRC Dallas John Terry Nokia
20 MHz Channels & the PAR and 5 Criteria • Broad Market Potential • In order to obtain the broadest market, the HT standard must be a global standard • Hence, channel bonding is not suitable for global standardization since it does not meet the European regulatory specification of 20 MHz channelization • Economic Feasibility • Technically, channel bonding is feasible; however, it does not increase aggregatenetwork capacity by itself • Thus, can MIMO technology and channel bonding both be developed cost effectively? • Most of the available cost data for RF chains are based on 20 MHz channelization designs • Distinct Identity • HTTG will result in a wireless LAN with higher throughput than provided by 802.11a, 802.11b and 802.11g. • Neither channel bonding nor UWB meets this criterion on a per Hz basis.

Capacity Study Assumptions • Link closes at 1% PER • Channel bonding PER performance has 3 dB penalty compared to the corresponding 802.11a performance due to the doubling of the noise bandwidth for the same tx power. • Capacity for both channel bonding and non-bonding cases are computed using reuse factors (Fr) of 4 and 7. • Bonding case will require reuse factor of 4 while non-bonding case, 7. • The base rate set for channel bonding without any antenna enhancements includes 802.11a mandatory and option rates plus 108 Mbps data rate at a SNR for 54 Mbps • Non-bonding base rate set includes 802.11a mandatory rates plus 4 additional rates greater than 54 Mbps but less than 100 Mbps using diversity techniques • STAs are randomly distributed in the cell and uniformly powered • Rates are assigned based upon signal-to-interference plus noise ratio • “Simulation” is done 2000 times and the average Mbps for the center cell is calculated John Terry Nokia
Simulation Parameters • Each cell has 10 users uniformly distributed throughout the cell • The cell radium is varied 20m, 30m, and 40m • The transmit antenna has 6 dBi gain • The receive antenna has 6 dBi gain • Transmit power is set to 17 dBm • The average fading statistic for the subcarriers is used to compute the instantaneous SNR for link analysis • Performance for non-line of sight transmission is computed • The number of occurrences of the capacity (bps/Hz) for each of the rate in the basic rate set is plot in a histogram • The cdf of the capacity is computed • The total aggregate throughput is tabulated John Terry Nokia

Conclusion • To meet several of the 5 criteria and the PAR, 20 MHz channelization is desirable. • Channel bonding doesn’t increase the capacity nor improvement performance over 802.11a or 802.11g • Adopt 20 MHz channelization for HTSG John Terry Nokia
