2. 2 MIMO Supports for IEEE 802.16m Synchronization Channel

3. 3 Contents  MIMO Support Options  Comparisons of MIMO Options (CDD and FSTD)  Simulation environments  Cell ID detection error (AWGN, TU6 120km/h)  Beamforming effect in CDD  Convergence time  Frequency reuse  Summary  Text Proposals for 16m SDD  Annexes

4. 4 MIMO Supports  Description in the SDD  MIMO support is achieved by transmitting SCH subcarriers from known antennas. Antennas are:  Cyclic delay diversity (with antenna specific delay values)  CDD  Interleaved either within a symbol (multiple antennas can transmit within a single symbol but on distinct subcarriers)  FSTD  Across frames (only one antenna transmits in each symbol)  TSTD  Or some combination – Actual approach is FFS.  Considerations  TSTD has problems in the convergence time with low mobility MSs and in power transition time from antenna on/off.  TSTD requires multiple time instances to get diversity gain while CDD/FSTD can achieve the diversity in single time instance.  CDD and FSTD are promising candidates for 16m SCH in multi-antenna transmissions.

5. 5 Comparisons of MIMO Options (CDD and FSTD)  Commonalities  Multi-antenna transmission schemes for 16m SCH  Distinguishable channel responses for each antenna  Possible for CE  Support of various channel conditions  High mobility, Large delay spread, etc  CDD  Spatial diversity with MS-transparent TxD on the number of antennas can be achievable.  Larger spreading gain with longer preamble sequence  FSTD  Complete separation between antennas  Limited frequency diversity can be achievable.  Worse correlation property with shorter sequence length

6. 6 Cell Search Procedure and Simulation Environments  Major Parameters (Detailed in Annex A)  Search duration : 5 ms (coarse timing synchronization only for one SCH)  Multi-antenna transmission: CDD (1/4*Tu shifts for 2Tx, 1/8*Tu shifts for 4Tx), FSTD (Localized type)  System bandwidth: 5MHz  Carrier frequency offset: random within ±3ppm @ 2.5GHz carrier frequency  Number of cell IDs: 256  Sequence length: 212/(frequency reuse) for CDD, 212/(frequency reuse)/(# of Tx antennas) for FSTD  Randomly generated BPSK signals (not optimized about PAPR and x-correlation)  Cell ID detection: ML hypotheses by non-coherent detection  # of cells: 1, 2, 3  Correct Detection Probability  Probability to choose a BS which received power is within 3 dB of the BS with the highest received power

7. 7 Cell ID Detector  Full Correlator in Frequency Domain  The correlation profiles are calculated coherently for entire sequence length.  Since there always exists timing error (particularly large error after coarse timing sync step) and frequency selectivity in practical situation, it doesn’t work.  Partial Correlator in Frequency Domain  The block-wise correlation profiles are calculated in order to reduce timing error and frequency selectivity.  For intra-blocks, coherent summation  For inter-blocks, non-coherent summation  Differential Correlator in Frequency Domain  To reduce timing error and frequency selectivity.  In taking differential operations for CDD, a proper interval selection would be needed. (refer to Annex A)  Energy Detector using FFT (IFFT) Operation  The energies of channel impulse response are aggregated using FFT operation  Unfeasible due to large complexity. For example, the ML complexity could be 256*512*log2(512) [=1179648] multiplications even in ignoring energy aggregation operations.  Not considered in the simulation

8. 8 Cell ID Detector (cont’d)  Observations  Full correlator is not feasible.  The performance for partial correlator depends on the size of blocks.  It needs to optimize the parameters.  Different correlator works well.  The differential correlator is deployed for evaluations.

9. 9 Cell ID Detection Error (AWGN)  3ppm FO, Practical timing/freq sync, # of cells=1  Both CDD and FSTD work well.

10. 10 Cell ID Detection Error (AWGN) (cont’d)  3ppm FO, Practical timing/freq sync, # of cells=3  CDD is better than FSTD due to interference randomization.  For CDD,  Good interference randomization between cells  For FSTD,  ~0.6dB SNR loss to CDD for 2Tx @1% error rate  Severe degradation by ~2.9dB SNR to CDD for 4Tx @ 1% error rate

11. 11 Beamforming effect in CDD  No Coverage Hole  Not significant impact of frequency selectivity due to the beam-forming in different subcarriers  Constructive subcarriers can be used to maintain the cell- ID detection performance  Impact of beamforming steer- like CDD in a certain DoA varies in different subcarriers  The overall energies can be maintained. (Annex C)   3ppm FO, Practical timing/freq sync, # of cells=1   No coverage hole has been found for both CDD and FSTD.

12. 12 Cell ID Detection Error (TU6, 120km/h)  3ppm FO, Practical timing/freq sync  4Tx is better than 2Tx due to spatial diversity gain.  CDD is better than FSTD due to frequency diversity gain @ 1% error rate.  by ~0.5dB for 2Tx  by ~0.6dB for 4Tx

13. 13 Convergence Time   Definition   Time interval for cell ID detection error to be less than 1%   Observation   # of cells   The inter-cell interference increases a convergence time.   # of transmission antennas   Multi-antenna transmission is necessary to reduce the convergence time.   Periodicity of 16m SCH   If the periodicity of a complete SCH instance is 20 ms, the convergence time will become four times.   In case of FSTD   Similar trend to the above statements

14. 14 Frequency Reuse in SCH  Pros and Cons  Decease in interference from other cells  Reduced sequence length (Poor x-correlation property)  Single-Cell Environment  Reuse 1 is always better than Reuse 3 regardless of CDD and FSTD due to reduced sequence lengths.

15. 15 Frequency Reuse in SCH (cont’d)  Multi-Cell Environment  High SNR region (> -10 dB)  Reuse 1 is better than reuse 3 due to the sequence lengths.  No gain in finding a sector ID due to absence of frequency reuse information  Low SNR region (< -10 dB)  Reuse 3 is better than reuse 1 due to the reduced interference.  Multiple SCH combining is needed for the reliable performance.  Multiple SCH Combining  # of combined symbols = 5  Reuse 1 is better than reuse 3 even in the low SNR region.  With the symbol combining, the x-correlation property is more dominant than interference.  FSTD has the same trend regarding frequency reuse.

16. 16 Summary  The CDD transmission of SCH has better performance in terms of the cell ID detection error than FSTD.  The proposed CDD transmission shows reasonable convergence times even in multi-cell scenarios.  With the symbol combining, a SCH transmission with reuse 1 is better than that with reuse 3 due to the larger sequence length.

Each antenna transmits a cyclic delayed symbol with antenna-specific delay values for IEEE 802.16m MSs to perform full-band channel estimation for each antenna in the whole SCH bandwidth. The number of BS antennas supported for MIMO channel measurements is FFS, depending on the requirements of other 16m SDD content, such as DL MIMO and interference mitigation. Figure xx.
