  3. Contents • Introduction • Issues associated with PNC/beacon • CTA announcement mechanism • Conclusions and future work Song-Lin Young[Sharp Labs.]

  4. Introduction • Operations of 15.3 WPAN require devices to find a PNC (and its beacons) in order to engage in piconet activities. • Multiple piconet overlapping scenarios are expected to occur in a dynamic environment, such as home networking. • Device may start a piconet without knowing the existence of a nearby PNC. • Piconet consisting of portable devices may be carried around and brought into area of other piconets. • Changes of topology due to moving objects/people Song-Lin Young[Sharp Labs.]

  5. Device 2 Simple Piconet Configuration Device 1 Beacon PNC Beacon CTA 1 CTA 2 Superframe N Superframe N+1 CTA 2 Beacon Beacon PNC 1 CTA 1 CTA 1 Device 1 Device 2 Song-Lin Young[Sharp Labs.]

  6. PNC 1 PNC 2 Beacon Device 1 Device 1 PNC PNC 2 Beacon Device 2 Overlapping Piconets • PNC 2 is not able to hear beacons form PNC 1 • Device 2 is not able to hear beacons from PNC 1 Song-Lin Young[Sharp Labs.]

  7. Superframe Superframe PNC 1 CTA CTA Device 1 Beacon Beacon Beacon PNC 2 or Device 2 Interference Interference Potential Interference Scenario • Device 1 (PNC 1) is scheduled to transmit during the assigned CTA(s) • PNC 2/Device 2 will be interfered during Device 1 CTA if two piconets are not coordinated Song-Lin Young[Sharp Labs.]

  8. Basic Concept • A mechanism is needed to advertise piconet timing and CTA for those unassociated devices not covered by PNC • Extending the coverage area of beacons such that superframe timing and CTA information is available for: • Making it possible for devices to be aware of existing piconets via scan operation. • Better selection of channel/frequency usage. • Co-existence by sharing channel time Song-Lin Young[Sharp Labs.]

  9. CTA Duration CTA Location Beacon Frame Format p0 (Superframe starts) Superframe Duration Preamble Header CTA # 1 FCS CTA # 2 CTA # 3 CTA # n Dev A Address Dev B Address Stream Index Song-Lin Young[Sharp Labs.]

  10. Quasi-Beacon Frame Format p0 (Packet starts) • During transmission, the device advertises its CTA(s) containing duration and offset from beginning of superframe • Only corresponding CTA of transmitting device are advertised. • Superframe duration can also be included. • Applicable to Data, command, and Ack frame types. Preamble Header Data FCS Superframe Duration Frame Control CTA # n HCS Song-Lin Young[Sharp Labs.]

  11. Conclusions CTA Advertisement • Solve hidden node problem • Facilitate the following operations: • Coexistence of multiple piconets • Coordination/synchronization of piconets • Device discovery • Minimum overhead to each packet Song-Lin Young[Sharp Labs.]

  12. Future Work • Asymmetric data transfer • Delay Ack frames which occur less frequently • Streaming applications • No Ack frame Song-Lin Young[Sharp Labs.]
