doc.: IEEE /0371r0 Submission March 2012 Ron Porat, Broadcom Outline 11ah is largely based on draft 2.0 of 11ac spec We propose to add support for single user beamforming (BF) and MU-MIMO feedback and protocols as described in the current draft 11ac spec Slide 4
doc.: IEEE /0371r0 Submission March 2012 Ron Porat, Broadcom Proposal We propose to add to the spec framework a new section Transmit Beamforming We propose to add in section 3.5 the following text: The ah specification shall support, for all applicable BW, the SUBF and MU- MIMO feedback structure and protocol as specified in the following sections of IEEE P802.11ac™/D2.0 : – VHT MIMO Control field – VHT Compressed Beamforming Report field - contents of feedback frame – MU Exclusive Beamforming Report field - contents of MU frame – VHT sounding protocol – and its subsections: SU-MIMO and MU-MIMO Beamforming Slide 5
