2 doc.: IEEE 802.11-00/336 Submission November 2000 Michael Fischer, Intersil Slide 2 The Problem The 802.11 MAC defines PIFS as a "Priority" Inter-Frame Space, longer than SIFS and shorter than DIFS PIFS is intended to provide the AP with priority access to the medium when contending with DCF stations that wait for DIFS PIFS is supposed to permit a point coordinator to retain "control" of the medium, when a station does not respond, without leaving the medium idle for a DIFS period Since the formation of TGe there have been numerous proposals to expand the use of PIFS Unfortunately, PIFS is more useful paper (or on a wired medium) than in an 802.11 BSA: In the expected/common case, PIFS works well, but in the alternate case, PIFS can be ambiguous, and may result in more collisions The ambiguity results in part from the way several PHYs are specified

3 doc.: IEEE 802.11-00/336 Submission November 2000 Michael Fischer, Intersil Slide 3 PCF case: SIFS-PIFS Ambiguity From clause 9.3.3.1: –If a CF-Pollable STA does not respond to a CF-Poll (of any type) within the SIFS period following a transmission from the PC, or a non-CF- Pollable STA does not return the ACK frame within a SIFS period following a transmission from the PC that requires acknowledgment, then the PC shall resume control and may transmit its next frame after a PIFS period from the end of the PC's last transmission. There is one CCA measurement prior to the PIFS Tx-decision point: –CCA(busy) after SIFS is reasonable evidence that a response has started, –But the CCA must react to the very beginning of the transmission, and –PHYs with multiple antennas are allowed to check only one per slot time, –So CCA(idle) after SIFS is much weaker evidence that no response has started, and can lead to a destructive collision. Recommendation: Only use PHYs that sample all antennas every slot and have fast-reacting CCA for point coordinators.

5 doc.: IEEE 802.11-00/336 Submission November 2000 Michael Fischer, Intersil Slide 5 DCF case: PIFS-DIFS Ambiguity The AP could, in theory, gain priority access to the medium during the contention period by starting transmissions after PIFS. There is one CCA measurement between the PIFS Tx-decision point and the DIFS Tx-decision point: –CCA(busy) after PIFS causes station to defer to AP, –But the CCA must react to the very beginning of the transmission, and –PHYs with multiple antennas are allowed to check only one per slot time, –So CCA(idle) after PIFS is much weaker evidence that no transmission has started, and can lead to a destructive collision. Recommendation: Be careful about using PIFS during contention period. Unlike the PCF case, this requires fast, multi-antenna CCA at all contending stations. –But a collision only occurs if some station has backoff count =1.
