Proposal Goals • Meet ERC Requirements (Whatever they may be?) • Enhance IEEE802.11a operation by allowing • Interference reduction • Power savings Aachen Univ, Cisco, Nokia and Philips
Summary for DFS • New management messages are added to allow STAs to measure • RSSI (current frequency channel) • RSSRI (new frequency channel) • BSS, QBSS, CCA busy fraction, CCA busy interval, CCA busy duration and Foreign PLCP Headers • Measurement reports • Allow AP to determine if IEEE802.11h, HiperLAN/2 or other sources of interference exist in the frequency channel • Channels with satellite channels or radar channels can be distinguished from WLAN systems • Allows flexibility for AP vendors to do proprietary measurements and make decisions concerning frequency channel changes Aachen Univ, Cisco, Nokia and Philips
Summary for TPC • Service Field transmit power field allows easy estimation of path loss • Power capabilities are conveyed by a STA during Association • BSS power ceiling is conveyed in Beacon thus, 3 dB backoff is guaranteed upon AP command • DCF • Suggested maximum power level for STAs • Hidden node detection suggested in IEEE 802.11-01/219r0, which will: • alllow STAs determine power autonomously, if desired • allow APs determine an appropriate suggested max power level • PCF • STAs decide power autonomously • Improve battery life • Improve QoS • IBSS problem solved by 3 dB permanent backoff of power Aachen Univ, Cisco, Nokia and Philips
Late Development • The proposal in IEEE 802.11-01/169r2 has resolved issues for a merger with IEEE802.11-01/217 • Additional elements for identifying BSSs residing on different frequency channels • Ability in PCF and HCF for a receiving entity to indicate suggested power changes to sending entity Aachen Univ, Cisco, Nokia and Philips
