Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 January 2011 Introduction In order to provide coexistence services to TVBDs, the coexistence system has to define which TVBDs have to coexist. Thus, in this presentation we describe procedures for neighbor setting. The intention is that a neighbor relationship is created between the TVBDs which cause interference: neighbors if the interference is bi-directional one-sided interferers if the interference is one-directional Coexistence system services are used for neighbor setting: Neighbor discovery is provided by CDIS to CMs. Neighbor inquiry, set, and remove are inter-CM neighbor management services.

Neighbor setting procedures overview January 2011 Neighbor setting procedures overview Neighbor discovery – CDIS service TVBDs which interfere each other may be served by different CMs. CDIS calculates which TVBDs interfere each other, and provides candidate neighbor lists to the CMs. – CMs are required to provide some TVBD information for this calculation. Neighbor inquiry – inter-CM neighbor management service CMs serving candidate neighbors exchange more TVBD information. Information exchanged in neighbor inquiry is used to validate that the TVBDs are capable of interfering, i.e. TVBDs are able to operate on same frequencies. CM initiating the neighbor inquiry also uses the candidate neighbor information to evaluate whether candidate neighbor interferes TVBD and shall be set as neighbor/interferer. Neighbor set – inter-CM neighbor management service A neighbor relationship is created between TVBDs which are estimated to interfere. Neighbor remove – inter-CM neighbor management service The neighbor relationship is tear down between neighbors which no longer interfere. Päivi Ruuska, Nokia

Neighbor Discovery January 2011 Month Year doc.: IEEE 802.11-yy/xxxxr0 January 2011 Neighbor Discovery CDIS provides neighbor discovery service to CMs. CMs are required to provide up to date information of TVBDs to CDIS. CM sends Neighbor_discovery_req to CDIS to update parameters of a TVBD and to request candidate neighbor list for the TVBD. Parameters: geo-location, max TX power, operation environment (indoor/ outdoor), min SNR, directed antenna gain… CDIS calculates the candidate neighbors to the TVBD and provides the candidate neighbor list to the requesting CM in Neighbor_discovery_rsp Candidate neighbor: network which causes interference at the location of TVBD, or network at which location TVBD causes interference > noise floor +3dBm (see following pages). Candidate neighbors may be reported in calculated interference level order, based on the interference level the candidate neighbors cause at the location of TVBD. Interference direction is also indicated to CM: Mutual neighbor – both cause interference at each other’s location. One-sided interferer source – only candidate neighbor causes interference at location of TVBD. One-sided interferer victim – only TVBD causes interference at location of candidate neighbor.

Neighbor Discovery – interference calculation 1/3 January 2011 Neighbor Discovery – interference calculation 1/3 Target: to calculate a possibility for a mutual neighbor, one-sided interferer source or one-sided interferer victim cases. Candidate neighbor calculation parameters: Minimum SNR of the network for operation: SNRmin Maximum transmission power: Ptxmax Antenna gains: G(θ), θ is an angle to the direction of other device Attenuation according to a propagation model: L(r), r is a distance Defined non-aggregated interference level above the noise: Im Noise level: N = F+No, F=noise figure, No=ambient noise Päivi Ruuska, Nokia

A (green) network is victim.

January 2011 Neighbor Inquiry After receiving candidate neighbor list from the CDIS, the CM initiates neighbor inquiry with the CMs serving candidate neighbors. CM may not have to start neighbor inquiry related to all candidate neighbors. Initiating CM sends Neighbor_inquiry_req to CMs serving the candidate neighbors. This is to access more information of candidate neighbors, and to filter out candidate neighbors which are not able to operate on same channels. TVBD parameters: TVBD frequency capabilities, RAT type, operating parameters (if operating)… Target CM responds with Neighbor_inquiry_rsp. Candidate TVBD parameters: TVBD frequency capabilities, RAT type operating parameters. Both CMs validate whether the TVBDs are capable of interfering. If they are capable of operating on same frequencies they may interfere, and capability_to_interfere is set TRUE. Päivi Ruuska, Nokia

CM sends neighbor inquiry request to CMs of candidate neighbors January 2011 CM sends neighbor inquiry request to CMs of candidate neighbors CDIS CM Initiating CM => Target CM: Neighbor inquiry req (TVBD capability parameters, optionally TVBD operating parameters) Target CM => Initiating CM: Neighbor inquiry req (TVBD capability parameters, TVBD operating parameters) Both CMs validate whether TVBDs are capable of interfering. Initiating CM evaluates whether candidate neighbor interferes. The CM may request TVBD to perform measurements on operating channel of candidate neighbor.

Neighbor Setting Target CM responds with Neighbor_set_rsp. January 2011 Neighbor Setting After receiving the Neighbor_inquiry_rsp and validating capability_to_ interfere=TRUE, the initiating CM evaluates whether candidate neighbor interferes TVBD. CM may request TVBD to provide measurements to support the evaluation. Initiating CM shall send Neigbor_set_req to target CM if it has evaluated own TVBD to be interference victim. It may send Neigbor_set_req to target CM if it has evaluated TVBD to be the interference source only. The evaluation is based on CDIS interference direction indication, neighbor inquiry based validation of capability_to_interfere, and initiating CM’s own evaluation after neighbor inquiry which may include TVBD measurements. Parameter: proposed neighbor relationship type (neighbor/one-sided interferer source/one-sided interferer victim) Target CM responds with Neighbor_set_rsp. Shall reject if TIME_X elapsed between Neighbor_inquiry_req and Neighbor_set_req, or capability_to_interfere = FALSE. Otherwise: Shall accept if mutual neighbor relationship is proposed. May accept if one-sided interferer relationship is proposed. Päivi Ruuska, Nokia

January 2011 Neighbor Remove CMs evaluate the neighbor relationships continuously. If CM discovers that TVBD is not interfering neighbor or vice versa it initiates the neighbor relationship teardown with Neighbor_remove_req CM shall send request if TVBD is switched off, and may send it because of other reasons. Optional parameter: reason (TVBD switch off, TVBD mobility, no interference detected, other) CM of neighbor TVBD shall accept the request by sending Neighbor_remove_rsp. Päivi Ruuska, Nokia
