  2. Abstract This presentation addresses an ACK transmission issue in IEEE 802.11ah, where asymmetric transmissions will likely to prevail Zander Lei, I2R Singapore

  3. Asymmetric Transmission • AP to STN (Downlink) vsSTN to AP (Uplink) • STN has more constraints as opposed to AP • Transmission power (power amplifier etc) • Capability • Transmission capability (1 MHz vs AP with 2 MHz and beyond) • Functionalities (AP may serve different types STN) • Use Cases • Use Case 3 : Extended range Wi-Fi • Use Case 1 : Sensors and meters Zander Lei, I2R Singapore

  4. Problems DIFS AP Data SIFS STN ACK • STN cannot reach as far as AP • STN can receive Data • AP cannot receive ACK sent by STN • Given Data and ACK using the same modulation and coding rates • More likely where range is longer in 11ah Zander Lei, I2R Singapore

  5. Simple Fix • Allow transmitting ACK with a different modulation and coding rate • E.g. Data from AP using 16 QAM • ACK may use QPSK or BPSK • Allow transmitting ACK with 1MHz PHY (MCS0-rep2) after receiving 2 MHz (or above) PHY packets • All STN support both 1 MHz and 2 MHz PHY [Specification Framework] • 2 MHz is preferred whenever available (11-1535r0) • Throughput and energy efficiency • 1 MHz is necessary, especially when • Range is an issue • STN with 1MHz transmission capability Zander Lei, I2R Singapore

  6. Conclusions • In 11ah, ACK from STN may not reach AP • AP may transmit at higher power and better off in capability • STN can receive Data but its ACK can not reach AP • Given Data and ACK using the same modulation and coding or same channel bandwidth, e.g. 1 MHz, 2 MHz etc. • Propose to allow ACK using different modulation and coding, including MCS0-2rep Zander Lei, I2R Singapore

  7. Straw Poll 1 Zander Lei, I2R Singapore Do you agree to allow STN transmit ACK with lower (or more robust) modulation and coding rates than that of received frames from AP?

  8. Straw Poll 2 Zander Lei, I2R Singapore Do you agree to allow STN transmitting ACK with 1MHz PHY after received 2 MHz frames from AP?

  9. Straw Poll 3 Zander Lei, I2R Singapore Do you agree to allow STN transmitting ACK with narrower bandwidth PHY after received frames from AP?
