  1. Proposed Rate Control For MAC Simulator Authors: Date: 2014-07-12

  2. Context • The evaluation Methodology does not specify which Rate Control Algorithm to use for the MAC simulator • This needs to be specified so that MAC Simulations results can be compared across companies Barriac et al. (Qualcomm)

  3. What kind of rate prediction should we use? • Ideally: • Something simple • Easily reproducible across companies • Gives realistic results Barriac et al. (Qualcomm)

  4. Proposal • We propose the following method • Select a single MCS per link • Select MCS upfront using a training phase and then fix it for the simulation time • Selected MCS should maximize goodput • Details: • Run the simulation with all nodes using MCS0 for a set amout of time • For each link, log the SINRs for each MPDU • These are the SINRs of packets at the node which is the intended recipient • log SINRs for both detected as well as missed MPDUs. • Given this SINR information, Post process to find the MCS that would have maximized the goodput for that node. ( note good put will depend on PER curve used) • Rerun the simulation with each link using the good put maximizing MCS • This method was used for resuls in 11-14-0846 “CCA study in Residential Scneario” • Note: A similar method was proposed by Nihar Jindal and Ron Porat in 11-14-0083 Improved Spatial Reuse Feasibility Part II • While 0083 Proposed good-put maximizing MCS selection for the PHY simulator, we are proposing a similar concept for the MAC Simulator. Barriac et al. (Qualcomm)

  5. Benefits of suggested Proposal • More realistic than genie aided • Models steady state of dynamic rate control algorithms • Simple to implement • Shouldn’t bias or confuse results. • i.e. no strange quirks possible in dynamic rate control algorithms. • No “genie” aided information Barriac et al ( Qualcomm)

  6. Conclusion We suggest using the MCS selection method described in slide 5 as the Rate Control Method in the MAC Simulator. Barriac et al. (Qualcomm)

  7. Suggested Change to11-14-0571-02-00ax evaluation methodology • Under the Section “ MAC System Simulation Description” • Add the following text at the end of the section: • MCS Selection A single MCS should be selected per link. The MCS should be selected upfront using a training phase, and then fixed for the simultion time. The MCS selection should follow this process: • Run the simulation with all nodes using MCS0 for a set amout of time • For each link, log the SINRs for each MPDU • These are the SINRs of packets at the node which is the intended recipient • log SINRs for both detected as well as missed MPDUs. • Given this SINR information, Post process to find the MCS that would have maximized the goodput for that link. Barriac et al. (Qualcomm)

  8. Straw Poll 1 • Do you support using a fixed MCS per link in the MAC simulator? Barriac et al. (Qualcomm)

  9. Straw Poll 2 • Do you support using a fixed MCS method suggested in slide 4 for the MAC Simulator? Barriac et al. (Qualcomm)
