6GHz Work Program
5GHz Update
Brief History of Adaptivity (Channel Access) Nov 2011: v1.6.1 “Adaptivity” requirements first introduced replacing the “Medium Access Protocol” requirement Jan 2015: V1.8.1 Options A and B, plus IEEE Option with test BRAN#81 – Agreement to replace A/B options with a single option in next RED version v2.1.1. Technology specific reference should not go in the next version. Work item REN/BRAN-0060015 scope ………... (4) To improve Adaptivity for Load Based Equipment by replacing the current 2 alternative options with a single solution that provides equal (spectrum) access to different technologies. June 2016: BRAN#88 Coexistence sessions complete in draft v0.0.9 and future input moved to drafting sessions. Temporary declaration option included for some load based adaptivity tests March 2017: BRAN#92 Final draft v2.0.11 approved by TC BRAN. Published as RED Version v2.1.1 May 2017 Next version to consider: Single ED threshold limit, general review of adaptivity Guidance of the European Commission to disallow manufacturer declarations to achieve compliance Latest draft: Removal of exception to declare compliance instead of testing. More generic text for ED to allow option conditioned on use of PD, as well as an option for ED only, for all technologies IEEE 802.11 preamble detection test must be included if using PD
Lessons learned Agreement is possible even with contentious issues Meeting schedules often made LS communication inefficient Contention Agreement ED Threshold 2 options available (ED Only or ED/PD) for any technology (PD with an 802.11a preamble, see latest draft) Channelization Same 20MHz Nominal Center frequencies (200kHz deviation allowed) Maximum COT Tables 7 and 8 Paused COT(re: LAA) Tables 7 (Notes 1/2) and 8 (Note 1) Exponential Back off, CW size Simulations EN 301 893 v2.1.1
Status of 5GHz (EN 301 893 v2.2.1) Outstanding issues for adaptivity as of close of BRAN#102 Paused COT (Re: NR-U) No LBT/Short LBT usage Delayed ACKs and Broadcast Transmissions Defining Test for IEEE preamble Expected Final draft approval: BRAN#104 What can we do better for 6GHz?
