Abstract • This contribution considered Down Link FDMA (DL-FDMA) as a candidate technique for access efficiency improvement for 11ax. Katsuo Yunoki, KDDI R&D Labs.
Conceptions • AP • 20MHzBW * 4CH frequency division multiplex transmission (in case of 80MHzBWtotally) • Up to 4 data streams to 4 STAs are available • 4 concurrent ACKs on different 4 * 20MHz CH • STAs • Data streams on 4 channels will be received and demodulated in parallel • Target data streams are recognized by destination address in MAC header • STA will reply ACK using channels which included the data stream to the STA Katsuo Yunoki, KDDI R&D Labs.

Mixed Operation with Legacy STAs This FDMA concept may be applicable for mixed operation with legacy STAs. The primary 20MHz channel would be used for a legacy STA on a priority basis and other channels for 11ax supported STAs. It might improve access efficiency of legacy STAs too.

Summary • FDMA may have some advantages in access efficiency on: • Less medium time, • Shorter latency, • Wider available bandwidth in dense environment, • Mixed operation with legacy STAs • Detailed considerations is needed for feasibility study. Katsuo Yunoki, KDDI R&D Labs.
Straw poll • Do you support to study DL-FDMA as a possible technique for efficiency improvement for 11ax? • Y/N/A = Katsuo Yunoki, KDDI R&D Labs.
