doc.: IEEE /0008r0 Submission January 2007 Slide 2Linjun Lv, Huawei Technologies Abstract This proposal introduces a backup primary protecting device which can be a PPD immediately if the current PPD fails its work to offer enhanced protection for low-power, licensed devices operating in television broadcast bands. Simulation results are suggested which show performance improvement.

doc.: IEEE /0008r0 Submission January 2007 Slide 3Linjun Lv, Huawei Technologies If a PPD Stops Transmitting Abruptly… If a SPD misses aMaxMissedBeacons for consecutive beacon frames, the SPD will negotiate and find a SPD as a new PPD. The new PPD will enter the initial transmission period, for a period of 30 seconds. But this negotiation and initial transmission period is a long time and can not protect Part 74 device in a timely manner.

doc.: IEEE /0008r0 Submission January 2007 Slide 4Linjun Lv, Huawei Technologies Proposed Solution A backup primary protecting device (BPPD) –When a PPD is working: The PPD will choose one or several SPDs as BPPDs, and assign different priorities for every BPPD; –When a PPD doesn’t work : The BPPD with the highest priority (main BPPD) will promote itself to a new PPD immediately; BPPDs with other priorities (subordinative BPPDs) will increase respective priorities, and the BPPD with the highest priority will promote itself to a new main BPPD immediately.

(2) When the PPD received the first beacon frame of the SPD after indication from the next higher layer, the PPD can choose this SPD as a BPPD and memorize its Source Address. –Add a BPPD Address in beacon frame to notify BPPD’s identity to the SPD. BPPD Address is zero before the PPD choose a BPPD; –Add a BPPD Priority in beacon frame to notify BPPD’s Priority.

doc.: IEEE /0008r0 Submission January 2007 Slide 10Linjun Lv, Huawei Technologies PPD Is Working, but BPPD Dies… (1) BPPD ANP was inserted between Rx period and ANP. Its length is 2bits. Main BPPD can notify whether it is active or not in this BPPD ANP period. ANPBPPD ANP … SyncN 0BeaconRx period New Superframe format BPPD ANP Description 00BPPD will cease transmission in the next superframe 11BPPD is active 01, 10 reserved

doc.: IEEE /0008r0 Submission January 2007 Slide 11Linjun Lv, Huawei Technologies PPD Is Working, but BPPD Dies… (2) If PPD and subordinative BPPDs received 00 in the BPPD ANP period: –Main BPPD will cease transmission in the next superframe; –If there is subordinate BPPD: The subordinative BPPD will increase respective priorities. The BPPD with the highest priority in subordinative BPPD will promote itself to new main BPPD immediately, and transmit BPPD burst in the next frame. –If there is no subordinative BPPD: the PPD needs to re-choose a BPPD. If PPD and subordinative BPPD miss aMaxMissedBPPD in a consecutive BPPD burst: –PPD and subordinative BPPD will consider that main BPPD does not work; –The same process as above situation; –The default value of aMaxMissedBPPD is 2.

doc.: IEEE /0008r0 Submission January 2007 Slide 12Linjun Lv, Huawei Technologies PPD Dies, but BPPD Is Working… Case 1: If PPD notify BPPD and SPD that it is planning to cease transmission by Cease Tx, main BPPD will promote itself to a new PPD in the next superframe. The BPPD with the highest priority in subordinative BPPD will promote itself to new main BPPD. Case 2: If PPD do not set Cease Tx to one and BPPD misses aMaxMissedPPD in consecutive beacon frame, main BPPD will consider that this PPD does not work and promote itself to new PPD: –The default value of the period of superframe is 8*(383*3+55)/9609 = s –So the default value of aMaxMissedPPD can be one. –The BPPD with the highest priority in subordinative BPPDs will promote itself to new main BPPD.

doc.: IEEE /0008r0 Submission January 2007 Slide 13Linjun Lv, Huawei Technologies Both PPD and BPPD Die… This situation may be occurred when: –PPD dies, and in the next aMaxMissedPPD consecutive superframe main BPPD also dies; –Main BPPD dies, and in the next aMaxMissedBPPD consecutive superframe PPD also dies; The above situation can be summarized : –If SPD misses aMaxMissedBeacons in a consecutive beacon frame, SPD will consider that both PPD and main BPPD do not work if there is subordinative BPPD, the BPPD with the highest priority in subordinative BPPD will promote itself to new PPD immediately; if there is no subordinative BPPD, SPD will negotiation and find a new PPD, after that perform initial transmission period. aMaxMissedBeacons can be set as MAX(aMaxMissedPPD ， aMaxMissedBPPD) ＋ 1.
