4. doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/1291r0 Submission Background: China 60GHz Spectrum The released 60GHz spectrum in China only has 5GHz bandwidth, corresponding to channel 2 & 3 used in IEEE 802.11ad. USA, Canada, Korea Europe China Japan Australia Slide 4KB Png October 2013 Unlicensed 60 GHz spectrum bands.

5. doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/1291r0 Submission Proposed Channelization for 60GHz bands for 802.11aj (1/2) Advantage of the proposed channelization for 60GHz bands in China  China only has 5GHz bandwidth available in 59-64GHz  only has two logical channels if only use 2.16 GHz BW  Further divide 2.16GHz band used in 802.11ad channelization into two 1.08GHz sub-bands, then it become 6 logical channels: 2 bands with 2.16GHz bandwidth (Channel 2 & 3), 4 bands with 1.08GHz bandwidth (Channel 5, 6, 7, 8) ； Channelization for 60GHz bands in China KB Png October 2013 Slide 5

6. doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/1291r0 Submission Proposed Channelization for 60GHz bands for 802.11aj (2/2) Support dynamic bandwidth  Capable of supporting wider applications for lower power, e.g. Smart Phone, Tablet etc.  The impact to implementation in RF, Analog baseband is very minimal. It only needs to add to support four more new center frequency in PLL design, a new filter to support 1.08GHz in analog baseband etc ；  The support of dynamic bandwidth in the channelization for China 60GHz bands provides the basis of keeping the interoperability with 802.11ad device ； Channelization for 60GHz bands in China KB Png October 2013 Slide 6

7. doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/1291r0 Submission Proposed MAC Protocol amendment for 802.11aj: support dynamic bandwidth and keep interoperability with 802.11ad  When operating in 2.16GHz channel （ Channel 2,3) ， it is capable of keeping interoperability with 802.11ad device ；  When operating in 1.08GHz （ Channel 5,6,7,8 ）， it sends common beacon over 2.16GHz channel. The common beacon can use 802.11ad beacon as baseline so that 802.11ad device can also recognize the common beacon;  This allows 802.11aj device to keep the interoperability with 802.11ad device while exploring the benefits in channels with 1.08GHz bandwidth.

10. doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/1291r0 Submission Proposed MAC Protocols (3) After the split of Channel 2 into Channel 5 and Channel 6, –PCP/AP 1 sends out common DMG beacons in Channel 2 during NP1 to announce its operation and shows its channel bandwidth status (using the reserved B45-46 to indicate Channel Bandwidth info) contained in Beacon Interval Control field). –Following which PCP/AP 2 (The STA become PCP/AP 2) sends out common DMG beacon in Channel 2 during NP2 to announce its operation and shows its channel bandwidth status. PCP/AP 1 and PCP/AP 2 each creates a quiet period (QP) in their respective networks. PCP/AP 2 synchronizes with PCP/AP 1 by receiving the time stamps in PCP/AP 1’s common DMG beacons in its BTI. Non-AP/non-PCP STAs continue their packet transmissions in small band network in Channel 5 after tuning in and receiving the DMG Beacon frames sent out by PCP/AP 1 in its BTI, coupled with the necessary procedures like beamforming, associations and new schedules for service periods (SPs) and contention-based periods (CBAPs). Non-AP/non-PCP devices STAs that want to join the network in Channel 6 have to tune in and receive DMG Beacon frames sent by PCP/AP 2 in its BTI, coupled with the necessary procedures.

11. doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/1291r0 Submission Proposed MAC Protocols (4) Constant monitoring of Channel 2 common DMG beacons sent out by PCP/APs 1 and 2 in NP1 and NP2, respectively. Assume Channel 6 ceases its network operation. –Absence is noted by PCP/AP 1 when it detects no common DMG beacon frames sent during NP1. –PCP/AP 1 shall wait for a aMaxExpireDuration duration before making the decision that Channel 6 network has ceased operation. Case 1: After which, the PCP/AP 1 can proceed to expand its bandwidth from Channel 5 to Channel 2 (see the following figure), or Case 2: After which, the PCP/AP1 can proceed to remain its operation in Channel 5. KB Png October 2013 Slide 11

12. doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/1291r0 Submission Proposed MAC Protocols (5) Suppose that PCP/AP 1 starts up or operates in the small band, e.g., Channel 5. To mitigate interference, PCP/AP 1 must periodically send notification signals during notification periods (NPs) on Channel 2. Each NP contains at least a beacon header interval (BHI) which may include beacon transmission interval (BTI), association beamforming training (A-BFT) and / or announcement transmission interval (ATI) as shown in the following figure. KB Png October 2013 Slide 12

13. doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/1291r0 Submission Proposed MAC Protocols (6) Later, a new PCP/AP 2 intends to start its network in the adjacent Channel 6. First, PCP/AP 2 scans the channel to know whether Channel 6 is empty or not. If Channel 6 is available, PCP/AP 2 will send a Channel Request frame to PCP/AP 1 for NP allocation. PCP/AP 1 may reject the PCP/AP 2 request if another network has been successfully established in Channel 6. Otherwise, PCP/AP 1 should accept PCP/AP 2 request through a Chanel Response frame. PCP/AP 1 shall allocate a pseudo-static SP for the NP of PCP/AP 2 (i.e., BHI 2) on Channel 2 through an Extended Schedule element. KB Png October 2013 Slide 13

Case 2: An IEEE 802.11ad device scans to find an IEEE802.11ad or IEEE 802.11aj network operating in the large band and joins as a non-PCP/non-AP STA.

If an 802.11ad legacy device requests to join, 802.11aj PCP/AP 1 may change its channel to Channel 2 first, and then operate like 802.11ad PCP/AP and accept 802.11ad legacy device as non-PCP/AP STA PCP/AP 1 may also decide to operate in Channel 5 and allocate SPs or CBAPs to 802.11ad legacy device in Channel 2 through DMG Beacon or Announce frames as show in the following figure. –To distinguish different channel bandwidths, we use the reserved Bit 5 of the Allocation Type field to indicate allocation type, which supports the backward compatibility to IEEE 802.11ad devices.

Suppose that 11ad legacy STA A intends to join in PCP/AP 1’s network. PCP/AP 1’s allocations for STA A must abide by TWO conditions: 1)No overlaps with the existing allocations either in large band or in small bands. 2)PCP/AP 2 shall avoid to schedule the allocations time-overlapping with that of STA A. The mixed mode works as below: First, PCP/AP 1 shall hear the latest DMG Beacon or Announce frames or directly request PCP/AP 2 to reply with Extended Schedule elements. Second, PCP/AP 1 schedules the allocations for STA A and may notify the result to PCP/AP 2 through an Allocation Request frame. Third, PCP/AP 2 may reply with an Allocation Grant frame to grant this schedule or not. Lastly, PCP/AP 1 sends the schedule result to STA A (and PCP/AP 2) through Extended Scheduling element transmitted in DMG Beacon or Announce frame.

In this case, another PCP/AP 2 that intends to start up will know that Channel 6 is empty. PCP/AP 2 follows the same procedures in Slide 14 to establish its BSS in Channel 6. Since PCP/AP 2 has received the Extended Schedule element through the Beacon/Announce frames transmitted by PCP/AP 1, it will avoid to schedule its SPs or CBAPs that would overlap with the allocations for 802.11ad legacy devices in the following medium time.
