Overview of the Proposed 802.11ad PHY • The proposed 802.11ad PHY consists any or the combination of the following: • SC PHY • OFDM PHY • Features of the PHY modes: • The SC PHY mainly targets applications with low complexity • The OFDM PHY mainly targets applications that require higher data rates • To reduce implementation burden, both PHYs are designed to have similarities in the aspects of frame construction • To manage multi-PHY-mode management and mitigate interference, the CMS is specified to facilitate coexistence between the SC PHY and the OFDM PHY Hiroshi Harada, NICT
Channelization Hiroshi Harada, NICT
Overview on SC and OFDM Data Rates • The SC and OFDM classes of data rates give flexibility to various potential applications requiring data rate support from several hundreds of Mbps to several Gbps • The data rate classes are categorized as: • Class 1 – up to 1.6Gbps • Class 2 – up to 3Gbps • Class 3 – up to 7 Gbps • A Robust MCS called CMS is proposed to bridge between the SC and OFDM PHYs • In OFDM PHY, three modes with different FFT sizes are proposed for flexibility.

Enhanced Data Transmission • Enhanced data transmission in CFP includes beamforming support, frame aggregation/aggregation-ACK, and bi-directional aggregation with ACK • Beamforing period in CFP enables to beamform without interference between Src/Dest • Frame aggregation / Aggregation-ACK/ Bi-directional aggregation with ACKguarantees QoS requirements of throughput and delay • Aggregation are performed by on-demand and negotiation between Src/Dest (Example of data transmission during CFP) Hiroshi Harada, NICT
Aggregation / Aggregation ACK / Bi-directional aggregation with ACK • Proposed aggregation supports to aggregate video traffics (video aggregation MSDU, VA-MSDU) • VA-MSDU frame body consists of • MAC subheader with HCS and aggregated MSDUs with Subframe FCS (SFCS) • MAC subheader contains • Aggregated MSDUs information • Aggregation ACK (A-ACK) bitmap • VA-MSDU allows • maximum length of each MSDU (including SFCS) : 1Mbytes • maximum length of aggregated MSDUs : 16Mbytes • Bi-directional VA-MSDU by using both of aggregation and aggregation ACK bitmap SFCS (Subframe FCS)
Negotiation for Aggregation • Negotiation for Aggregation • are performed for capability confirmation • can be operated in CFP or CP • are performed on-demand between Src and Dest • are performed directly between AP and STAs • are performed directly between STA and STA after Directed Link Setup (DLS) defined in 802.11-2007 Neg. DLS Neg. Neg. Case 1 : communication between AP and STAs Neg. Case 2 : communication between STA and STA Hiroshi Harada, NICT
Directivity Support • Directivity support for 802.11ad system includes directional association and beamforming • Directional association • Directional beacons (up to 4 beacons) and Directional contention periods (CPs) enable STAs to associate to AP directionally • Beamforming • Beamforming protocol is based on 11/496r0 Q-beacon (Directional Quasi-omni beacon) GT (Guardtime) Hiroshi Harada, NICT

Enhanced Co-existence (1/4)- Co-existence for homogeneous systems - • Enhanced co-existence provides co-existence among homogeneous systems and among heterogeneous systems • Co-existence for homogeneous systems provides QoS assurance during CFP • Avoid mutual interference by overlapping homogenous networks to data transmission during CFP Hiroshi Harada, NICT
Enhanced Co-existence (2/4)- Co-existence for homogeneous systems - • Co-existence action frame (CAF) supports to avoid mutual interference by overlapping homogenous networks to data transmission during CFP • CAF includes schedule information of CFP • STAs periodically sends out CAFs for potentially incoming homogeneous networks • STAs scan CAFs before transmitting data during CFP Hiroshi Harada, NICT
Enhanced Co-existence (3/4)- Co-existence for heterogeneous systems - • There are two 60GHz unlicensed wireless system specifications in the IEEE 802 (802.15.3c and 802.11ad) • A mechanism is proposed to facilitate coexistence between 802.15.3c and 802.11ad while minimizing the additional complexity in implementation • The co-existence mechanism is based on the document 10/0231r3 (John R.
