Abstract We discuss some of the pilot design principles for 11ac and propose use a single pilot mother matrix in which all pilots for each bandwidth and spatial stream get its pilot sequence values Daewon Lee, LG Electronics
Pilot Sequence Design • Design Target • Pilot sequences must be defined up to 8 spatial streams • Pilot sequence also must be defined for 80 MHz • Design principles • Performance difference between different pilot sequences is not expected to be large • Rather than defining a pilot sequence for each instance (number of spatial streams & bandwidth size) define a large sequence matrix for all spatial streams and bandwidth may be preferable Daewon Lee, LG Electronics
Discussion (1/2) • performance in various scenarios • It will be important to consider tracking performance in various scenarios • orthogonal pilot sequence across spatial streams may give robust performance in case of correlated Tx antenna configurations • some studies [1] show that having orthogonal pilot design may be more robust for highly correlated channels • pilot tracking functionality • Orthogonal pilots do not necessary mean pilot tracking functionality is mandated to gather pilots over multiple OFDM symbols for processing Daewon Lee, LG Electronics
Discussion (2/2) • Complexity for supporting orthogonal pilot design • 11n pilots has been design to be orthogonal between spatial streams (note that not all pilot tones in 40MHz are time domain orthogonal) • if orthogonal pilot tone tracking is implemented for 11n then same functionality can be re-utilized in 11ac • no mandate of separate phase tracking per spatial stream • may not be needed if single LO is used at Tx/Rx • no additional complexity for phase tracking is expected • PAPR of pilot sequence • PAPR increase due to certain ‘bad’ pilot sequences design is expected to be marginal because OFDM data tones will effect the PAPR the most • some PAPR analysis for pilot in VHT data portion is shown in the Annex Daewon Lee, LG Electronics
Pilot Sequence for 20 MHz • 20 MHz Pilot Sequence Positions • 11n Pilot Sequence • Proposed 11ac Pilot Sequence -21 -7 7 21 Subcarrier index : pilot subcarrier : data subcarrier Daewon Lee, LG Electronics
Pilot Sequence for 40 MHz • 40 MHz Pilot Sequence Positions • 11n Pilot Sequence • Proposed 11ac Pilot Sequence : pilot subcarrier : data subcarrier Subcarrier index -53 -25 -11 11 25 53 Daewon Lee, LG Electronics
Pilot Sequence for 80 MHz • 80 MHz Pilot Sequence Positions • Proposed 11ac Pilot Sequence : pilot subcarrier : data subcarrier Subcarrier index -103 -75 -39 -11 11 39 75 103 Daewon Lee, LG Electronics
Proposed pilot sequence mother matrix • Pilot Sequence mother matrix Daewon Lee, LG Electronics
Summary • We give one candidate proposal for the pilot sequences for data portion of the VHT PLCP preamble • We propose to further consider different pilot sequence for each spatial streams • We propose to further consider orthogonal pilot sequence design to make pilot tracking more robust against various deployment scenarios Daewon Lee, LG Electronics
