doc.: IEEE /0265r1 Submission Nov Cheng Shan, Samsung Electronics Slide 2 Abstract This contribution explains why BS-to-BS CBP communication is necessary and proposes the necessary SCW design and corresponding text change to allow BS-to-BS CBP transmission. This contribution is a proposed resolution for comment #406

doc.: IEEE /0265r1 Submission Review on CBP Protocol A special beacon protocol for inter-BS communication CBP packet could be transmitted by either CPE or BS during the SCW, which is scheduled by BS at the end of a US frame CBP takes 2~3 OFDM symbols, SCW takes 4~5 OFDM symbol to add buffers before and after CBP transmission –The buffer before CBP is used for contention resolution –The buffer after CBP is used for propagation delay absorption Nov Cheng Shan, Samsung Electronics Slide 3

doc.: IEEE /0265r1 Submission Why BS-to-BS Direct CBP Transmission is Necessary? (1) In [1], it has been shown that the probability that CBP packet could be exchanged by a pair of CPE heavily relies on the number of CPEs in a cell; BS-to-BS direct CBP transmission is much more reliable because of the good propagation channel characteristics; –CBP transmitted by a BS can be received by another BS more than two times of the BS radius Nov Cheng Shan, Samsung Electronics Slide 4

doc.: IEEE /0265r1 Submission Why BS-to-BS Direct CBP Transmission is Necessary? (2) BS must send and detect CBP by itself when: –a BS is powered up and has no associated CPEs, neighbor discovery, necessary coexistence protocol, and self declaration must be done by BS itself; –CBP sent by associated CPEs could not be received by any BSs; or associated CPEs cannot receive any CBPs from neighbors; –BS1 is switched to a channel where another BS2 already in operation, and the coexistence protocol could not be accomplished before the BS1 vacate the previous channel; BS1 must detect and communicate with BS2 directly since no transmission from its CPEs is allowed before the resource negotiation is accomplished.

doc.: IEEE /0265r1 Submission SCW Requirement – 4W BS To allow two BSs to communicate with each other with up to 49km –N*164μs buffer is needed before the CBP packet N is an integer indicating the number of contention back-off slots; (N ≥1) Each back-off slot should at least be 164 μs long to allow BS-to-BS collision detection –Another 164μs buffer is needed after the CBP packet to absorb the propagation delay In total, minimum 328 μs (1~2 OFDM symbols) buffer needed Nov Cheng Shan, Samsung Electronics Slide 6

doc.: IEEE /0265r1 Submission SCW Requirement – 100W BS To allow two BSs to communicate with each other with up to 76.6km –N*256μs buffer is needed before the CBP packet –Another 256μs buffer is needed after the CBP packet to absorb the propagation delay In total, minimum 512 μs (2~3 OFDM symbols) buffer needed Nov Cheng Shan, Samsung Electronics Slide 7
