  4. II. Proposed Preamble • Main Features • Uses 80MHz channel and meets all functional requirements for a VHT preamble • Three preamble modes to minimize overhead • Seamless upgrade from 802.11n preamble • Almost identical PAPR characteristics with 802.11n • Comparable Preamble Efficiency to 802.11n

  16. IV. Co-existence Simulations • Co-existence with 11a/n device at any 20MHz channel jS -jS jS -jS S S S S 80MHz 20MHz 20 MHz device 80 MHz device 11a/n devices at any 20MHz channel can properly detect the preamble Proposed 80MHz format a=legacy 802.11a/HT STS, LTS, etc…

  17. IV. Co-existence Simulations • Co-existence with 11n device at 40MHz channel jS -jS S S jS -jS S S 80MHz 40MHz 40MHz 40 MHz device 40 MHz device 80 MHz device 11n devices at the UPPER 40 MHz channel expects [1 j] subcarrier rotation and has a possible compatibility issue. Proposed 80MHz format a=legacy 802.11a/HT STS, LTS, etc…

  18. Simulation Setup • All receivers (40MHz HT) and transmitters (80MHz VHT) have 4 antennas • Channel Model • AWGN • TGn channel model ‘B’ • TGn channel model ‘D’ • Simulation tests • Frame Synchronization/Preamble Detection • Auto-correlation • Cross-correlation • Channel Estimation and SIG field Detection

  19. Frame Synchronization/Preamble Detection • SISO Case cross-correlation • Autocorrelation Based Frame Synchronization algorithm is not affected because it doesn’t use an expected reference sequence. Cross-correlation of 40Mhz 11n STS Cross-correlation of 40Mhz 11n STS when a [1 –j] phase rotated STS symbol is received

  20. Frame Synchronization/Preamble Detection -Error differences in the upper and lower 40Mhz channels is indiscernible -Performance only differs whether one uses auto-correlation or cross-correlation algorithm.

  21. Frame Synchronization/Preamble Detection Error differences in the upper and lower 40MHz channels is indiscernible

  22. Channel Estimation and SIG field detection • Because Data symbols also undergo the same subcarrier phase shifts, SIG detection is unaffected by our proposed phase shift method • Synchronization errors were also counted as SIG-field symbol error Error differences in the upper and lower 40MHz channels is indiscernible

  23. Channel Estimation and SIG field detection Error differences in the upper and lower 40MHz channels is indiscernible

  25. VI. Preamble Efficiency The preamble efficiency is defined as 95.29 48 96.43 36 131072 94.26 230 56 131072 44 95.43 230 131072 230 96.23 36

  26. Conclusion • We have been developing an 80MHz BW WLAN preamble which has backward compatibility with IEEE802.11a/n system. • Our simulation results confirm our proposed preamble’s backward compatibility with 802.11n 40MHz devices • The proposed preamble has comparable efficiency compared to IEEE802.11n’s preamble. • The proposed preamble has lower PAPR compared with IEEE802.11n’s preamble.
