I. Numerology Hongyuan Zhang et al.
4
Proposed Basic Numerology (previously presented to TGac)
Month Year doc.: IEEE yy/xxxxr0 Proposed Basic Numerology (previously presented to TGac) Max number of transmit (Tx) antennas sounded: 8 Reasonable complexity, cost, and preamble length trade-off Max number of Nss (spatial streams) in the SU case: 8 Given that 8 Tx antennas are proposed to be sounded, then there is inherent support for up to 8 spatial streams Max number of Nss per user in the MU case: 4 Given that multiple users will share spatial streams, it is natural to make this number smaller than 8 Fits VHT-SIG size limitations, reduces number of representation bits required Maximum number of Nss summed over users in the MU case: 8 Max number of MU users: 4 Larger number significantly increases MAC/PHY complexity Hongyuan Zhang et al. John Doe, Some Company
5
Maximum number of transmit antennas sounded = 8
Month Year doc.: IEEE yy/xxxxr0 Maximum number of transmit antennas sounded = 8 Meets PAR requirements For single user case 8 antenna with Nss=8 allows for > 500Mbps throughput For multi user case 8 antenna sounding allows for > 1 Gbps throughput Physical limitation on AP and STAs to put more than 8 antennas Going to 16 antenna sounding increases preamble length Number of bits required to indicate number of antennas sounded also increases – limited number of bits available in preamble Hongyuan Zhang et al. John Doe, Some Company
6
Max number of Nss (spatial streams) in the SU case = 8
Month Year doc.: IEEE yy/xxxxr0 Max number of Nss (spatial streams) in the SU case = 8 Meets PAR requirements For single user case 8 spatial stream allows for > 500Mbps throughput Maximum number of Nss <= Maximum number of Antennas sounded Hongyuan Zhang et al. John Doe, Some Company
7
Max number of Nss per user in the MU case: 4
Month Year doc.: IEEE yy/xxxxr0 Max number of Nss per user in the MU case: 4 Meets PAR requirements For multi user transmission two transmissions of Nss=4 allows for > 1Gbps throughput Given that multiple users will share spatial streams, it is natural to make this number smaller than 8 Fits VHT-SIG size limitations, reduces number of representation bits required 3 bits required to define Nsts per user for MU transmission For resolvable LTFs these bits have to be in VHT-SIGA Hongyuan Zhang et al. John Doe, Some Company
8
Maximum number of Nss summed over users in the MU case: 8
Month Year doc.: IEEE yy/xxxxr0 Maximum number of Nss summed over users in the MU case: 8 Meets PAR requirements For multi user transmission sum of Nss equal to 8 leads to throughput > 1Gbps Given that 8 Tx antennas are proposed to be sounded, then there is inherent support for up to 8 spatial streams Hongyuan Zhang et al. John Doe, Some Company
9
Max number of MU users: 4 Meets PAR requirements
Month Year doc.: IEEE yy/xxxxr0 Max number of MU users: 4 Meets PAR requirements For multi user transmission 4 users with 2 streams per user > 1Gbps throughput Larger number significantly increases MAC/PHY complexity Each users stream has to be separately encrypted and modulated Fits VHT-SIG size limitations, reduces number of representation bits required Nss bits have to be pre-allocated for each user in VHT-SIGA. Even with 4 MU users, most of the VHT-SIGA bits are already allocated Hongyuan Zhang et al. John Doe, Some Company

II. Preamble Comparisons
Hongyuan Zhang et al.
11
TGac Preamble Proposals
Two proposals in TGac on preamble: (1) our proposal 10/070r1, and (2) 10/130r0 (Tu, et al). Major differences: Auto detection: (1) 90-deg rotation on 2nd VHTSIG symbol, (2) Manipulate constellation of 1st VHTSIG symbol, e.g. alternative 90-deg rotate, or 45-deg rotate. Modulation of VHT-SIG: (1) Same as 11n/a: BPSK r=1/2 (2) Allows QPSK from 2nd VHTSIG symbol Green Field: (1) A single preamble for SU/MU, no GF. (2) Allow GF Hongyuan Zhang et al.

Comparisons—Auto Detection
Proposal (1) is more reliable than (2): Guarantees the most reliable spoofing of existing 11n receivers (as 11a packet), regardless of what 11n auto-detect algorithm was implemented. Guarantees the most reliable 11ac auto detection, largest Euclidean Distance (BPSK vs QBPSK). It is risky to manipulate modulation of the 1st VHTSIG symbol. Given various existing implementations of 11n auto-detections. Not fair to pre-assume any 11n auto-detect approach as in proposal (2) More likely that an 11n device false-detects HTSIG, and goes into ED-CCA stage. On timing issue for detection VHT-STF AGC may be deferred by approximate FFT processing time (before VHT detection). 11ac will most likely run faster clock to support higher throughput; therefore AGC computation is faster than HT devices. May use partial GI of VHTLTF1 for AGC computation. There are much more complex functions (e.g. DLMU, faster decoder, etc) required for 11ac. VHT AGC enhancement is trivial. A reliable legacy spoofing is more important than the extra complexity of AGC enhancement. Hongyuan Zhang et al.
15
Comparisons—VHTSIG Modulation
Preferable to keep using the lowest possible MCS to modulate VHTSIG fields: MCS0 is still necessary to guarantee the longest range. Make sure header is not worse than Data. Hongyuan Zhang et al.
16
Comparisons—Green Field
Preferable not to define the second preamble format (GF): 11n GF has seen limited usage so far. One of the arguments in favor of GF in 11n was the existence of green space in 5 GHz due to the limited use of 11a If there are no 5 GHz deployments of 11n, then there is no point to TGac The assumption should be that there will be 5 GHz deployments of 11n. Like in 11n, multiple preamble types compounds the difficulty of auto-detection for small PHY efficiency improvement. GF protection exchanges offsets the PHY improvement. Hongyuan Zhang et al.

III. Re-present of Our Preamble Proposal (1)
Hongyuan Zhang et al.
18
Preamble Design Goals Backward compatibility
Robust legacy 11a deferral Robust legacy 11n deferral Reliable auto-detection among 11a, 11n (MM and GF), and VHT preambles Single preamble structure in SU and MU Signaling of VHT PHY information by VHTSIG. Training for wider channels, and detection and deferral in each sub-channel. Low PAPR Minimize overall preamble length Hongyuan Zhang et al.
19
Spoofing and Auto-detection
Use L-SIG spoofing for both 11a and 11n receivers: As 11n spoofing for 11a/g receivers. Rate=6Mbps, Length/Rate indicates duration. Use 90-deg rotated BPSK (QBPSK) on VHTSIG symbol for VHT auto-detection. 11n receiver will treat the packet as 11a packet (L-SIG spoofing). Hongyuan Zhang et al.

Same padding scheme also defined in SU packets. “Aggregation” bit in VHTSIG is then not needed. Details refer to document r1 (VHT frame padding). Hongyuan Zhang et al.
22
Summary on VHT-SIGs In MU, VHT-SIGA contains the “common” bits for all clients. Indicates number of space-time streams (NSTS) for each user. Need prior multiuser group and user ID assignment frame exchanges before DL-MU packets (e.g. by sounding and/or management frames). Each user will be able to get its own NSTS information from VHTSIGA.. Details refer to document r2 (Group ID Concept for Downlink MU-MIMO Transmission). VHT-SIGB contains user-specific information (e.g. modulation and coding rate) and is spatially multiplexed for different clients. It is placed after all the VHT-LTFs to enable better receiver side interference mitigation in DL-MU before decoding VHT-SIGB. This requires each client getting as many LTFs as needed to train the total number of spatial streams across all users—named as “resolvable VHT-LTF”. “Non-resolvable VHT-LTF” may be selected if all clients do not support receiver side interference mitigation, or if interference mitigation is not required . Rx interference mitigation in DL-MU refer to document r1 (Interference Cancellation for Downlink MU-MIMO). Hongyuan Zhang et al.
