Concerns about Sync Detector False Alarms Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 July 2018 Concerns about Sync Detector False Alarms Date: 2018-07-DD Authors: Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm John Doe, Some Company

July 2018 Introduction The purpose of this presentation is to study the response of the HDR and LDR Sync Detectors to the HDR and LDR Data Fields This is relevant to cases where the receiver begins reception after the Sync Field This can occur within a BSS when the STA wakes up early and catches the Data Field of an earlier packet but misses the Sync Field This can occur in an OBSS since there is no synchronization between BSS’s It turns out that there can be significant false alarms in those cases This leaves the MAC to process the packet, which will eventually fail. However, during that processing time the receiver cannot receive a real packet Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

False Alarm within a BSS July 2018 False Alarm within a BSS False alarm on Data Field of First Packet PHY/MAC processing for a period of time to determine this is not a true packet detection on the Sync field If that packet processing takes too long you could miss the next packet, in the case of multiple WUR packet transmissions Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

False Alarm within a BSS (Second Example) July 2018 False Alarm within a BSS (Second Example) False alarm on Data Field of First Packet PHY/MAC processing for a period of time to determine this is not a true packet detection on the Sync field False Alarm again on the same Data Field Packet Processing into the beginning of the next packet, resulting in missing the Sync field in the next packet This can continue along for multiple packets Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

July 2018 False Alarm due to OBSS BSS and OBSS are unsynchronized, so it is quite possible to begin reception during an OBSS packet False alarm on Data Field of OBSS Packet PHY/MAC processing for a period of time to determine this is not a true packet detection on the Sync field Delayed too long to receive Sync File of packet intended for STA Miss the true packet intended for STA Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

False Alarm due to OBSS (Second Example) July 2018 False Alarm due to OBSS (Second Example) BSS and OBSS are unsynchronized, so it is quite possible to begin reception during an OBSS packet False alarm on Data Field of OBSS Packet PHY/MAC processing for a period of time to determine this is not a true packet detection on the Sync field Second False Alarm during OBSS Data Field, delay Sync Detection past true packet intended for STA Miss the true packet intended for STA Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

July 2018 Sync Detector Study Here we study the HDR and LDR Sync Detector outputs with the following input signals AWGN HDR Data Field (with 6 bytes of random data) LDR Data Field (with 6 bytes of random data) HDR Sync Field (for HDR Sync Detector) LDR Sync Field (for LDR Sync Detector) For each case we look at the maximum output of the Sync Detector and plot the results in a CDF over multiple experiments Look at the response to HDR and LDR Data field compared to the threshold set by AWGN Measure the probability of false alarm on the Data Field Look at the impact of receiver sensitivity if we increase the threshold to eliminate false alarms Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

July 2018 HDR Sync Detector Here the HDR Sync Detector combines a correlator and signal power estimator We take the maximum value to see how it compares for the various signal types There is a similar detector for the LDR Sync Field Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

HDR Sync Detector – CDF of Detection Statistic July 2018 HDR Sync Detector – CDF of Detection Statistic As expected, the output due to the HDR Sync Field is significantly higher than for AWGN However, the output for HDR and LDR Data Field are high compared to AWGN. If the detector threshold is set by AWGN statistics then false detection would result for HDR and LDR Data Fields Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

LDR Sync Detector – CDF of Detection Statistic July 2018 LDR Sync Detector – CDF of Detection Statistic Similar situation for LDR Sync Detector Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

False Alarm Rate – HDR Sync Detector July 2018 False Alarm Rate – HDR Sync Detector With a AWGN threshold of 0.29 the false alarm rate on HDR and LDR Data Fields is virtual 100% Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

False Alarm Rate – LDR Sync Detector July 2018 False Alarm Rate – LDR Sync Detector With a AWGN threshold of 0.20 the false alarm rate on HDR and LDR Data Fields is virtual 100% Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

False Alarm Rate – Simulations July 2018 False Alarm Rate – Simulations Ran Simulations with the “Data Field Only” with no Sync Field in the transmission Measured the False Alarm Rate versus SNR, for both the HDR and the LDR Data Fields As the SNR goes up to around 0 dB the False Alarm Rate approaches 100%, as expected based on earlier CDF plots Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

Study Impact of Raising Threshold July 2018 Study Impact of Raising Threshold To avoid the false alarms on the Data Field, we can raise the Sync Detector threshold The threshold is selected to be high enough to avoid the false alarms, based on CDF curves (see earlier slides) Ran AWGN sims Original Threshold New Threshold HDR Sync 0.29 0.63 LDR Sync 0.20 0.62 Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

PER Sims – Low Data Rate – New Threshold July 2018 PER Sims – Low Data Rate – New Threshold Significant SNR impact Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

PER Sims – High Data Rate – New Threshold July 2018 PER Sims – High Data Rate – New Threshold Smaller SNR impact, but still significant HDR more limited by Data Field Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

Modified Threshold – SNR Impact July 2018 Modified Threshold – SNR Impact SNR (dB) (Original Threshold) (New Threshold) SNR Impact of New Threshold (dB) HDR -4.0 -1.7 2.3 LDR -7.7 -2.1 5.6 Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

July 2018 Conclusions The CDF of the Sync Detector outputs due to HDR and LDR Data Field inputs are significantly higher than for AWGN input The CDF for the HDR Data Field input is particularly high If the detector threshold is set based on the AWGN statistics then false detection on the data field will be common Simulation results show that with the same threshold that close to 100% False Alarm Rate If the detector threshold is raised to minimize false alarms on data fields, then PER performance will significantly suffer If the threshold is increased to eliminate the False Alarms the SNR impact on the LDR is over 5 dB, in AWGN In our opinion, this is a significant issue Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm

July 2018 Straw Poll Should the Task Group investigate solutions to this False Alarm problem? Yes No Abstain Steve Shellhammer, Qualcomm
