Summary of MCS Set Comments (1) May 2005 doc.: IEEE 802.11-05/0410r0 May 2005 Summary of MCS Set Comments (1) MCS set is too large Too many duplicate rates. Get rid of duplicate rates Large number of rates/duplicate rates make MCS selection too difficult No PER results for many of the MCSs Excessive number of modes causes problems with verification and interoperability testing 256 QAM is not realistic or practical Requires substantially better impairment performance Requires substantially better stream separation (orthogonality) Show PER curves to justify its inclusion Get rid of it Remove modes with one spatial stream in 20 MHz Use legacy modes instead John Ketchum, Qualcomm John Ketchum, Qualcomm
Responses to Comments on MCS Set (1) May 2005 doc.: IEEE 802.11-05/0410r0 May 2005 Responses to Comments on MCS Set (1) MCS set is too large Set of 127 MCSs includes 33 Basic MCSs and 94 extended MCSs. Of the 33 Basic MCSs only 16 are mandatory. This is a minimal set of mandatory MCSs required to support High Throughput operation in Basic MIMO Mode with one or two spatial streams. This set provides for best rate vs range performance in Basic MIMO mode with one or two spatial streams 16 additional, optional MCSs in the Basic MCS set extend the per stream rates provided in the mandatory MCSs to 3 and four spatial streams The 94 extended MCSs are necessary to support advanced beamforming. Provide flexibility to match rates to per-stream SNR in beamforming mode. John Ketchum, Qualcomm John Ketchum, Qualcomm
Responses to Comments on MCS Set (2) May 2005 doc.: IEEE 802.11-05/0410r0 May 2005 Responses to Comments on MCS Set (2) Too many duplicate rates. Get rid of duplicate rates Duplicate rates are a result of the need to match modulation and code rate to channel conditions for beamforming and spatial spreading SNR profile in beamforming mode is very dependent on MIMO channel conditions. Further simplification and reduction of MCSs is under consideration Large number of rates/duplicate rates make MCS selection too difficult Simple ad hoc rate selection algorithms have been used in throughput vs range simulation results that we have provided Rate selection will not have an impact on device complexity. No PER results for many of the MCSs We are providing PER curves for all MCSs in 20 MHz John Ketchum, Qualcomm John Ketchum, Qualcomm

Responses to Comments on MCS Set (3) May 2005 doc.: IEEE 802.11-05/0410r0 May 2005 Responses to Comments on MCS Set (3) Excessive number of modes causes problems with verification and interoperability testing There are only 16 mandatory MCSs. This should not pose a problem for testing and verification. Verification of the 16 mandatory MCSs is sufficient to verify the implementation of all the code rates and modulations used in the remaining non-mandatory MCSs, with the exception of 256-QAM. Remove modes with one spatial stream in 20 MHz and use legacy modes instead It is critical to include single-stream modes for high throughput operation to ensure the best rate vs range performance John Ketchum, Qualcomm John Ketchum, Qualcomm
Responses to Comments on MCS Set (4) May 2005 doc.: IEEE 802.11-05/0410r0 May 2005 Responses to Comments on MCS Set (4) 256 QAM is not realistic or practical Requires substantially better impairment performance Simulation results show that MCSs that include 256 QAM achieve 1% PER at below 20 dB (MCS 51, channel model B, advanced beamforming, all impairments) Requires substantially better stream separation (orthogonality) All our simulation results of beamforming included degradation due to mismatches between channel and Tx steering and Rx channel estimation errors Show PER curves to justify its inclusion Several examples follow Get rid of it 256-QAM will make a substantial contribution to throughput without imposing unreasonable implementation hurdles All MCSs that include 256-QAM are optional John Ketchum, Qualcomm John Ketchum, Qualcomm

TX EVM requirements for 256-QAM used in Beamforming May 2005 doc.: IEEE 802.11-05/0410r0 May 2005 TX EVM requirements for 256-QAM used in Beamforming Tx EVM for 256-QAM for SISO application is ~-31 dB Beamforming gains complicate the extension of this value to beamforming MIMO application Because beamforming allows us to operate at lower SNRs, EVMs will be a lower percentage of total noise + interference than in SISO cases. This conclusion is supported by PER curves on previous slides. Conservative value for 2-Tx device is -31 dB Conservative value for 4-Tx device is -28 dB John Ketchum, Qualcomm John Ketchum, Qualcomm
