Main scope of TGn • “Achieve 100Mbps measured at MAC SAP” (PAR & FR) ⇒MIMO-OFDM is one of the possible candidates. • “Some of the modes shall be backwards compatible and interoperable with 802.11a and/or 802.11g”(PAR & FR) • Backward compatibility between legacy 11a and MIMO-OFDMis one of the main issues. • Preamble structure of 11a should be maintained in a MIMO-OFDM system. Alternatively, use protection mechanisms as defined in 11g (RTS-CTS, CTS self) Tsuguhide Aoki, TOSHIBA
GI LP LP GI GI LP -LP Example of preamble structure for MIMO system Same as 11a →Backward compatibility • AGC for Tx1 could be performed by using SP transmitted during the legacy period. • It is difficult to adjust the gain control for Tx2-Tx4 during MIMO signals because of the insufficient information for other antennas. →This causes a severe saturation or quantification error in ADC.
