  1. From PAR to Functional Requirements of HEW Date: 2013-11-13 Authors: Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  2. Abstract This presentation gives set of issues on how to evolve our consensus from PAR to functional requirements of HEW Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  3. PAR • What it is • Specify the scope & purpose of the task group activity • When to do • As an outcome of the study group to prepare the task group activity itself • What it has • Scope of proposed project • Purpose of proposed project • Additional explanatory notes • Characteristics • Sometimes, it admits relative numbers or qualitative description • It can have some more contents in its explanatory notes if they are helpful for guidance Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  4. Functional Requirements • What it is • Specify the basic core of mandatory features (derived from PAR) • When to do • As an outcome of the earlier stage of the task group to prepare draft description (or spec. framework document) • What it has • Requirements for system performance • Requirements for user experience • Requirements for backward compatibility & coexistence • Compliance to PAR • Characteristics • Should be quantitative with absolute numbers • Having more detail compared to the PAR Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  5. e.g., 802.11n (PAR) • 12. Scope of Proposed Project:  • The scope of this project is to define an amendment that shall define standardized modifications to both the 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the 802.11 Medium Access Control Layer (MAC) so that modes of operation can be enabled that are capable of much higher throughputs, with a maximum throughput of at least 100Mbps, as measured at the MAC data service access point (SAP). •  13. Purpose of Proposed Project:  • The purpose of the project is to improve the 802.11 wireless local area network (LAN) user experience by providing significantly higher throughput for current applications and to enable new applications and market segments.  Minho Cheong et. al, ETRI

  6. e.g., 802.11n (PAR) • Additional Explanatory Notes: • The scope of the MAC and PHY enhancements assume a baseline specification defined by 802.11 and its amendments and anticipated amendments a, b, d, e, g, h, i and j. The enhancements shall be to support higher throughput. The amendment shall not redefine mechanisms in the baseline that do not pertain to higher throughput. • Some of the modes of operation defined in the HT amendment shall be backwards compatible and interoperable with 802.11a and/or 802.11g. • Existing 802.11 standards are typically designated by their peak physical data rates. For example, 802.11a has a peak data rate of 54Mbps. This amendment has chosen to use a performance metric of throughput measured at the MAC data SAP. This amendment seeks to improve the peak throughput to at least 100Mbps, measured at the MAC data SAP. Depending on the scenario, this represents an improvement of at least 4 times the throughput obtainable using existing 802.11 systems. • In order to make efficient use of scarce spectral resources in unlicensed bands, the highest throughput mode defined by the HT amendment shall achieve a spectral efficiency of at least 3 bits per second per Hertz for the PSDU. Minho Cheong et. al, ETRI

  7. e.g., 802.11n (PAR) • Additional Explanatory Notes: • In the process of formulating this PAR, it was found that there are multiple user scenarios. Accordingly, the task group will undertake the following steps: • 1. Identify and define usage models, channel models and related MAC and application assumptions. Initial usage models envisioned include hot-spot, enterprise and residential; others may be included. • 2. Identify and define evaluation metrics that characterize the important aspects of a particular usage model. The evaluation metrics may include but are not limited to the items listed in Table 1, provided as an illustration of the format. • 3. Develop a technical requirement specification. • 4. Define a process for evaluations. • The impact of an HT device on the operation of a legacy network shall be comparable to that of any other legacy device identified in the baseline defined above.

  11. e.g., 802.11ah (PAR) • 5.2 Scope of Proposed Standard: • This amendment defines an Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) Physical layer (PHY) operating in the license-exempt bands below 1 GHz, e.g., 868-868.6 MHz (Europe), 950 MHz -958 MHz (Japan), 314-316 MHz, 430-434 MHz, 470-510 MHz, and 779-787 MHz (China), 917 – 923.5 MHz (Korea) and 902-928 MHz (USA), and enhancements to the IEEE 802.11 Medium Access Control (MAC) to support this PHY, and provides mechanisms that enable coexistence with other systems in the bands including IEEE 802.15.4 and IEEE P802.15.4g. The data rates defined in this amendment optimize the rate vs. range performance of the specific channelization in a given band. • This amendment also adds support for: • transmission range up to 1 km • data rates > 100 kbit/s • while maintaining the 802.11 WLAN user experience for fixed, outdoor, point to multi point applications. Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  12. e.g., 802.11ah (PAR) • 5.4 Purpose of Proposed Standard: • The purpose of this amendment defines operation of license-exempt 802.11 wireless networks in frequency bands below 1 GHz excluding the TV White Space bands. Minho Cheong (ETRI)

Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  17. e.g., 802.11ah (PAR vs. FR) Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  18. e.g., 802.11ac (PAR) • 5.2 Scope of Proposed Standard: • This amendment defines standardized modifications to both the 802.11 physical layers (PHY) and the 802.11 Medium Access Control Layer (MAC) that enable modes of operation capable of supporting: A maximum multi-station (STA) throughput (measured at the MAC data service access point), of at least 1 Gbps and a maximum single link throughput (measured at the MAC data service access point), of at least 500 Mbps. • Below 6 GHz carrier frequency operation excluding 2.4 GHz operation while ensuring backward compatibility and coexistence with legacy IEEE802.11 devices in the 5 GHz unlicensed band. Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  19. e.g., 802.11ac (PAR) • 5.4 Purpose of Proposed Standard: • The purpose of the amendment is to improve the 802.11 wireless local area network (LAN) user experience by providing significantly higher basic service set (BSS) throughput for existing WLAN application areas and to enable new market segments for operation below 6 GHz including distribution of multiple multimedia/data streams. Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  20. e.g., 802.11ac (PAR) • 8.1 Additional Explanatory Notes: (Item Number and Explanation) • 5.2) The project may include the capability to handle multiple simultaneous communications. • The multi-STA throughput is defined as the sum of the MAC SAP throughputs across all active transmissions within a set of STAs. • The 1 Gbps maximum multi-STA throughput may be achieved when considering multiple simultaneously actively-communicating STAs, e.g., a BSS with 1 access point (AP) and 3 or more STAs. • Though the primary metric used in the scope of the project deals with MAC SAP throughput, the intent is to provide enhancements over IEEE802.11n on the following inter-dependent performance indicators: throughput at the MAC data SAP, range of operation, aggregate network capacity (spectrum efficiency), power consumption (peak and average). • 1.1) This is an amendment to the then current revision of the IEEE standard 802.11 Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  21. e.g., 802.11ac (Functional Requirements) 2.1 System Performance 2.1.1 Multi-STA throughput measured at the MAC SAP to be at least 1 Gbps. TGac R1 – The TGac amendment shall provide at least a mode of operation capable of achieving a maximum Multi-Station aggregate throughput of more than 1 Gbps as measured at the MAC data service access point (SAP), utilizing no more than 80 MHz of channel bandwidth in 5 GHz band. 2.1.2 Single-STA throughput measured at the MAC SAP to be at least 500 Mbps. TGac R2 – The TGac amendment shall provide at least a mode of operation capable of achieving a maximum Single-Station throughput of more than 500 Mbps as measured at the MAC data service access point (SAP), utilizing no more than 80 MHz of channel bandwidth in 5GHz band. Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  22. e.g., 802.11ac (Functional Requirements) 2.2 Backward Compatibility with 802.11a/n devices operating in 5 GHz Refer to the IEEE Std. 802.15.2-2003, section 3.1 for the definitions of backward compatible. TGac R3- The TGac admendment shall provide backward compatibility with IEEE802.11a devices operating in the 5 GHz frequency band. TGac R4- The TGac admendment shall provide backward compatibility with IEEE802.11n devices operating in the 5 GHz frequency band. Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  23. e.g., 802.11ac (Functional Requirements) 2.3 Coexistence with 802.11a/n devices operating in 5 GHz Refer to the IEEE Std. 802.15.2-2003, section 3.1 for the definitions of coexistence. TGac R5 – The TGac amendment shall provide mechanisms that ensure coexistence between TGac and legacy IEEE802.11a/n devices. 2.4 Compliance to PAR TGac R6 - The proposal complies with the PAR and 5 Criteria. Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  25. Observations from History • PAR • Try to give a number on the most important metric (if possible) • Admit relative numbers or qualitative description (if inevitable) • Try some technical examples with very comprehensive expressions (if needed in the explanatory notes) • Functional Requirements • Strongly prefer numbers (especially, absolute numbers) • Numbers shall be easily measurable in reality • Shall not give any ambiguity when being read • Try to specify the coupled relation (if exists between key metrics) Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  26. How to Move Forward in HEW Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  27. How to Move Forward in HEW • Crucial issue • Qualitative PAR? • because difficult to define, measure and agree • or Quantitative PAR? • for more concrete impression to the market • Schedule issue • History of VHT/802.11ac • May 2008: PAR text agreed in the SG • Nov. 2008: TG started (6 months gap) • If we really consider the TG start scheduled in July 2014 • January 2014 (or March 2014) will be the chance to get consensus • We need a good procedure to get consensus or delaying the TG switch Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  28. How to Move Forward in HEW • Stages to go (all on consensus) from PAR to FR • Stage 0: Current status (debating over the PAR) • Stage 1: Having the PAR • Stage 2: quite simplified simulation check to get relative numbers • Choose one (simple) representative scenario to check • Check simulations results with the 802.11ac technology • Try to get consensus on just initial set of HEW technology for trial • Check simulation results with that technology & get relative numbers • Stage 3: Less simplified simulation check to get absolute numbers • Use a set of simulation scenarios defined in the official doc. • (Try to get consensus on just initial set of HEW technology for trial) • Check simulation results with that technology & get absolute numbers • Stage 4: Functional Requirements doc. with absolute numbers Minho Cheong (ETRI)

  29. How to Move Forward in HEW • If we want the Qualitative PAR during the SG, • Stage 0 : Current status (Nov. 2013) • Stage 1 : Having the PAR (March 2014) • Stage 3 : Less simplified check for absolute numbers • Stage 4 : FR with absolute numbers (within year 2014?) • If we want the Quantitative PAR during the SG, • Stage 0 : Current status (Nov. 2013) • Stage 2 : Quite simplified check for relative numbers • Stage 1 : Having the PAR (March 2014) • Stage 3 : Less simplified check for absolute numbers • Stage 4 : FR with absolute numbers (within year 2014?)
