Multicast error control requirement in 802.11 No error control mechanisms in the current standard. Current discussions at 802.11aa When a block of n packets are multicast to multiple stations, each packet error may cause each packet retransmission. In the best case, when a packet error happens at all receiving stations (error coincidence), only one retransmission can retrieve the error packet at all nodes. Statistically, error coincidence among many stations happens rarely in the low packet error rate limit. If m (= n×ε×r) errors are distributed to r receiving stations, then m retransmissions are required in the high packet error limit. … When multicast error rate is (ε× r), andless than1 with no error coincidence - Ave. # of retransmissions =n × ε × r When multicast error rate becomes 100% -Ave. # of retransmissions = n n packets ε … r Receivers multicast n = # of packets in a block ε= Packet error rate (unicast) r = # of receivers Yonghwan Bang, et. al, Information and Communications Univ
Brief overview of network coding Exclusive OR bit operation Operator : Produces a value of true only in cases where the truth value of the operands differ. Logical axioms p1p2 = p2p1 (p1 p2) p3= p1( p2p3 ) =p1 p2p3 p1 p2p1 = p2 Error packet retrieval When packet pj is lost, the receiver coins x’ = p1 … pi pk …pn The transmitter sends NC error control frame obtained by x = p1 … pi pj pk …pn The receiver retrieves pj pj = x x’ Yonghwan Bang, et. al, Information and Communications Univ

Multicast BlockAck with network coding Well harmonized with existing BlockAck mechanism Our proposal adopts existing BlockAckReq and BlockAck frame without requiring any modification. The only difference is new type of data frame delivering error control information coined by XOR operation of several frames.

Conclusion & Proposal Using network coding, at a packet error rate of 5%, network coding gain is approximately 30%. The higher the error rate, the higher the coding gain. Further study issues are anticipated : More than 1 error in a block per node. Non-uniform packet size. To consider network coding error control scheme in 802.11aa. To consider definition of BA control frame fields for network coding error control. Yonghwan Bang, et. al, Information and Communications Univ
