The contributor also acknowledges and accepts that this contribution may be made public by IEEE Patent Policy and Procedures: The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802 Patent Policy and Procedures, including the statement "IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder or applicant with respect to patents essential for compliance with both mandatory and optional portions of the standard." Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, if patented technology (or technology under patent application) might be incorporated into a draft standard being developed within the IEEE Working Group.

doc.: IEEE /0217r0 Submission March 2005 Jason Liu and Justin McNew, TechnoComSlide 2 Abstract In order to differentiate from other measurement types, the term of High Resolution RSSI (HRRSSI) was changed to WAVE Received Signal Strength (WRSS) during IEEE p interim session in January HRWRSS in the current p draft is reviewed. A complete solution for PHY to enter / exit WRSS measurement mode (through PLME_SAP) is proposed. WRSS request and report are defined as new measurement types based on h dot11WRSSCapabilityClass

doc.: IEEE /0217r0 Submission March 2005 Jason Liu and Justin McNew, TechnoComSlide 3 HRWRSS Overview in p draft HRWRSS measurement requirements: –Resolution of 0.2 dBm within -60 to -30 dBm. –Accuracy of ± 3 dB across the entire operating temperature. Entering or exiting HRWRSS mode is through PHY_SAP:

doc.: IEEE /0217r0 Submission March 2005 Jason Liu and Justin McNew, TechnoComSlide 5 PLME_SAP Entering or exiting WRSS measurement mode is a management activity so that it can be implemented through PLME_SAP: –Add dot11WRSSMode to PHY MIB

doc.: IEEE /0217r0 Submission March 2005 Jason Liu and Justin McNew, TechnoComSlide 6 WME_SAP Application to request changing WRSS measurement mode: –WSIE includes WRSS Measurement Mode information. –During application initialization through WSIE, an OBU enters WRSS Measurement Mode (e.g. lock AGC). –After application completion, an OBU exits WRSS Measurement Mode (e.g. unlock AGC).

Class2: –accuracy = 5 dB, –resolution = 0.5 dBm, –range -110 dBm to 0 dBm.
