Concerns on EDCF Admission Control Shugong Xu Sharp Laboratories of America, Inc. E-Mail: sxu@sharplabs.com Shugong Xu, Sharp Labs
Summary • Existing issues in current EDCF admission control proposal. • What options we have? • Straw poll Shugong Xu, Sharp Labs
Existing issues in the current DAC • Many people in this group think it should be removed and/or replaced. AFAIK, The reason includes: • complexity concern from chip-makers • instability (not quit understand though, since no results shown so far) • difficulty in working with DLP ( the biggest existing hole, in my view, which can be addressed.) • should be addressed in 11e • what options we have? Shugong Xu, Sharp Labs
Option 1: Just remove it without replacement • NO new EDCF admission control will be introduced; • However, many people in this group think EDCF QoS should be more than just differentiation between traffics. • Which means user will expect same level of service between now and then, if running an application using EDCF. • Diffserv model from IETF can only work in light load situations since the space for differentiation in 11 is very limited. • Then no way to protect the existing QoS traffics • Document 02/544r0 demonstrated this. • What the EDCF QoS means then? More no-vote may be caused from this option. Shugong Xu, Sharp Labs
Option 2: replace it without explicit signaling • Using TSPEC, same way as for Polling-based access • Then we will have connection-based EDCF • setup, tear-down, time out, etc • kind of scary? We do not mind. :-) • Some may think it overkill using TSPEC • Why not just use polling based access if AP knows the desires of the STAs? • But why two different signaling systems if defining another signaling, like PSPEC? Sounds like more unacceptable to some folks. Shugong Xu, Sharp Labs
Option 3: replace it with some unknown-yet mechanism • Leave a hook, which allows the implementation decide • what kind of hook? • how those potential mechanisms work together will be a challenge. Shugong Xu, Sharp Labs
Straw poll • Option1: Just remove it ! • Option 2: replace it with explicit signaling as in polling based access • option 3: replace it with some unknown-yet thing • option 4: do nothing • option 5: make it optional Shugong Xu, Sharp Labs
