Purpose Multipath is recognized as major WLAN impairment
May 2000 doc.: IEEE /xxx September 2000 Purpose Multipath is recognized as major WLAN impairment Prefer modulations that allow for good multipath performance CCK was selected because of inherent multipath protection Simple Rake receivers possible Superior multipath performance versus complexity Higher rates will require sophisticated multipath protection OFDM was selected because of complexity vs. multipath trades Want to allow for creative solutions Difficult to trade merits due to IP concerns One factor is sensitivity of the equalization & modulation to channel estimation errors Drives bit widths, RF front end specifications, time-lines, etc. Propose a method for exploring the estimation sensitivity S. Halford and M. Webster, Intersil M. Webster and K. Halford, Intersil Corp

Proposed Test for Robustness
September 2000 Proposed Test for Robustness Channels cannot be estimated perfectly Noise and finite estimation length contribute Test for sensitivity by perturbing the true channel Receiver uses perturbed channel to estimate equalizer Receiver operates on data from the true channel Calculate the change in PER due to channel estimation error S. Halford and M. Webster, Intersil
