RE: [802-11Technical] RE: HTSG Usage Model Special Committee




I am a little (actually allot!) behind in my email so I may be redundant but:

1) Video Conferencing using a headset. This falls into the category of BT (headset) coexistence with WLAN (video conferencing) but is more generally an example of a class of applications which have simultaneous peer-to-peer (ad hoc/direct link) and peer-to-AP (infrastructure) communication. The question is could it be done with only one technology namely 802.11. If the DL mode being proposed in TGe is simultaneous rather than stand alone then it may be covered.
2) LARGE multi-family dwelling complexes (as was shown in one of our TGn presentations) - would this be classified as residential or ??
3) Cordless telephone function (as opposed to coexistence). I assume this is already considered as simply VoIP.

I agree with your categorization.  Also that #3 is more difficult to wrap
our hands around, and that working with 802.19 will be beneficial to define
the appropriate usage scenarios -- while the special HTSG Usage committee is
still in session.  To that end, Steve was bringing up the use of cordless
phones, I added some scenarios for Bluetooth, and you've brought up several
others in #3.  

Thnx,
-pm.

Hello Pratik,

Thanks for this presentation.  I think the Bluetooth / 802.11 coexistence
mechanisms described there should be equally applicable to 802.11n (High
Throughput) operating at 2.4 GHz.  

I rank compatibility/coexistence into the following scale:

1. Interoperation with legacy devices  (i.e. a BSS containing a mixture of
legacy and new devices)
2. Co-channel 802.11 fairness.   Overlapping legacy and new devices share
the medium fairly.  No new-legacy communication attempted.
3. Tolerates yyy as interferer where yyy is: 802.15.1/Blutooth, 802.15.x,
802.16.x, Cordless phone, microwave oven, Cell phone ...


We do have a requirement in our PAR for a mode of operation that
is compatible with legacy devices.  We also have a practical requirement
that we have to tolerate legacy interference because there will be
deployments of 802.11 where we cannot control deployment of legacy
BSS.

3. Is the harder one.  I'm hoping we benefit from the work that 
.19 is currently doing with .15.3a to define some specific coexistence
scenarios for 802.11n too.   So, I'm expecting that .19 will work
with us to create a set of coexistence scenarios for us to address.

Best Regards,

Adrian
