Spatial Reuse and Coexistence with Legacy Devices Date:2014-05-13 Authors: James Wang et. al., MediaTek
Background • Several contributions [references 1-10] show that significant network throughput improvements can be achieved via spatial re-use using higher CCA, TPC, DSC, or combination of these. • However, some co-existence issues are observed from the simulation results • Starvation of legacy devices, when legacy devices co-exist with the spatial reuse devices • Higher collision • This contribution analyze these issues and explore the fairness basis for co-existence with legacy devices James Wang et al, MediaTek
Channel Access Issues in Dense Environment Ref 11 provides a real life scenario of a dense deployment campus network which shows high channel busy condition (low likelihood of channel access) despite high percentage (>50%) of STAs transmit with highest MCS James Wang(MediaTek)
Starvation of Legacy Devices • STA3 and STA4 use spatial re-use during TXOP 1 to access the channel, it delays the legacy STAs channel access window from the end of TXOP1 to the end of TXOP 2. • STA3 and STA4 have unfair advantage (over legacy devices) for channel access the starvation of legacy devices during co-existence. James Wang et al, MediaTek
Fairness to Legacy Devices The fairness issue during spatial re-use can be addressed with the medium sharing rules (from 11ah Clause 9.48.4) which mandates spatial-reuse TXOP (TXOP2) to end at or before the expiration of TXOP 1. James Wang et al, Mediatek
Higher Collision Issue • The spatial re-use STAs should reduce its transmit power level during spatial reuse to prevent causing collisions to legacy STAs. Spatial Reuse STA 3 Legacy STA1 Legacy STA2 • Spatial reuse STA using higher CCA levels can transmit in the middle of a TXOP owned by a legacy STA, which operates at lower CCA levels, potentially causing collision to legacy STA, resulting in • higher power consumption due to re-transmission • reduced throughput James Wang et al, Mediatek
TPC during Spatial Re-use STA AP TX Pwr TX PWR Reduction = CCI AP TPC SpaceLoss CCI SpaceLoss CCI CCI Spatial re-use STA CCA CCA Noise floor Noise floor • A reasonable transmit power level for the spatial reuse device is to reduce TX PWR by CCI (co-channel interference) • This transmit control is only used during spatial re-use and is based on the received CCI. (Note that spatial reuse STA needs to operate at high noise level (CCA+CCI)) James Wang et al, MediaTek
Spatial Detection Window Spatial Reuse CCI 1 Legacy STA1 CCI 1 STA 3 CCI 2 CCI2 Legacy STA2 • Since there are two STAs involved in a frame exchange, the spatial re-use STA should consider CCIs from both STAs involved in the frame exchange. • TPC power level for spatial re-use STAs should be TX PWR reduction = max(CCI1, CCI2) • Spatial reuse STA uses a spatial detection window to measure CCI 1 and CCI 2 before transmission James Wang et al, Mediatek
Conclusions and Future Works • This contribution discusses the legacy device starvation issues due to spatial re-use as observed from previous contributions • This contribution proposes mechanisms to achieve fairness for co-existence with legacy STAs when spatial re-use is used. • Spatial re-use should have independent channel contention and its TXOP should be confined within the duration original TXOP • Transmit power of the spatial reuse STAs should be constrained as described in Slide 7 (or 6) • Future work • Simulation results for the use case scenarios will be presented • Further investigation of transmit power control mechanism for spatial re-use James Wang et al, Mediatek
