Re: [802.19] Conference Call - Coexistence is 3650 MHz Band



Hi Mariana,

 

Thanks for your contribution of information for inclusion of the CXCBP feature to the 802.19 simulation parameters document.

 

Due to the volume of material over a number of email threads I feel the best way to proceed is for you to prepare a contribution for the next 802.19 conference call (8a PT 6 September). In this way everyone will have an opportunity to review the material, understand the content, ensure a correct interpretation of the material for inclusion, and see where your proposed text is to be added to the current document structure.

 

Many thanks,

Paul.

Hi Paul,

 

The implementation of the synchronization is a product issue and it is not related to MAC and PHY, so I do not expect it in 802.11y. I've found a way to live with the existing 1.024ms time base for the 802.11 inter-beacon interval – see below. If the "quiet elements" are supported we should be ok.

 

802.15 has already considered the synchronized separation in its 802.11-802.15 recommended practice document Part 15.2: Coexistence of Wireless Personal Area Networks with Other Wireless Devices Operating in Unlicensed Frequency Bands

 

They have a similar recommendation there  - see clause  5. Alternating wireless medium access.

 

Assuming the AP product implements the synchronization and keeps sending the beacons at the start of the CXCBI, here down is a list of possible 802.11y settings such to use the CX-CBP (I've noted in 11.9.2 of the 802.11 standard: "Multiple independent quiet intervals may be scheduled, to ensure that not all quiet intervals have the same timing relationship to TBTT, by including multiple Quiet elements in Beacon frames or Probe Response frames".)

:

List of recommended 802.11y parameters and product implementation

 

  1. Synchronization with the absolute time
    1. Using GPS or the IETF protocol NTP www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1305.txt
  2. Beacon period and Quiet elements – recommended parameters
    1.  Beacon period:  117 TU (119.8ms); this interval was selected such to be around the existing 100ms preferred implementation and to have a minimum difference between the 802.11 time base (N*1.024 ms) and 802.16h time base (20ms – duration of CX-Frame)
  3. Beacon transmission: at the start of CXCBI interval (when 802.16 is not transmitting); select a random CXCBI interval to start with.

 

       4.  Quiet elements (see 11.9.2 Quieting channels for testing and 7.3.2.23 Quiet element), to schedule the quiet interval such to overlap with the CXSBI intervals

 

                                       i.                              Quiet element no. 1

1.                              Quiet count =1 (start during next beacon)

2.                              Quiet period =1 (in every beacon interval)

3.                              Quiet offset = 9 (9*1.024= 9.216ms)

4.                              Quiet duration = 11 (11*1024 = 11.26ms)

                                     ii.                              Quiet element no. 2

1.                              Quiet count =1

2.                              Quiet period =1 (in every beacon interval)

3.                              Quiet offset = 29 (29*1.024= 29.7ms)

4.                              Quiet duration = 10 (10*1.024 = 10.24ms)

                                    iii.                              Quiet element no. 3

1.                              Quiet count =1

2.                              Quiet period =1 (in every beacon interval)

3.                              Quiet offset = 48 (48*1.024= 49.152ms)

4.                              Quiet duration = 11 (11*1.024 = 11.26ms)

                                   iv.                              Quiet element no. 4

1.                              Quiet count =1

2.                              Quiet period =1 (in every beacon interval)

3.                              Quiet offset = 68 (68*1.024= 69.63ms)

4.                              Quiet duration = 10 (10*1.024 = 10.26ms)

                                     v.                              Quiet element no. 5

1.                              Quiet count =1

2.                              Quiet period =1 (in every beacon interval)

3.                              Quiet offset = 87 (87*1024= 89.08ms)

4.                              Quiet duration = 11 (11*1.024 = 11.26ms)

                                   vi.                              Quiet element no. 6

1.                              Quiet count =1

2.                              Quiet period =1 (in every beacon interval)

3.                              Quiet offset = 107 (107*1024= 109.57ms)

4.                              Quiet duration = 10 (10*1.024 = 10.26ms).

 

We should be open to improvements resulting from simulations or better 802.11 knowledge.

 

Regards,

 

Mariana

Subject: RE: Conference Call - Coexistence is 3650 MHz Band

 

Hi Steve,

 

I can make this change - however I have a question related to this following on from last Thursday’s call.

 

LE TG Contribution 070, the Coordinated CBP, expects 802.11 to respect the 802.16 frame structure.

 

Mariana mentioned on the call that all the 802.11 features required to support this were in place. Mariana pointed to an earlier contribution from the last 16h/11y joint meeting in Orlando to exemplify this. I haven’t seen any information on this contribution yet on the 802.19 reflector but I presume it is IEEE C802.16h-07/024r1 (http://www.ieee802.org/16/le/contrib/C80216h-07_024r1.pdf). Please correct me if I’m wrong. However, this contribution contains some suggested technical changes to the 802.11 standard to ‘provide good and reliable synchronization’. Were these changes implemented?

 

 

Many thanks,

Paul.

Mariana,

 

            Thanks.

 

            Paul, please update your document with text and reference for both the material from Eldad and Marianna.  That way it is all located on one place.

Hi Eldad,

 

Thanks for this information.

 

The Coordinated CBP is described in draft 802.16h – D2c starting at page 122 (accessible with the 802.11 and 802.19 password at http://www.ieee802.org/16/pubs/80216h.html ) and it is also contained in my July contribution  http://www.ieee802.org/16/le/contrib/C80216h-07_070.pdf.

Regarding discussion of the Coordinated Contention Based Protocol:

 

In 11yD4.0 (http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/802/11/private/Draft_Standards/11y/Draft%20P802.11y_D4.0.pdf) subclause J.2 states “All stations shall use Multi-Domain capability (dot11MultiDomainCapabilityEnabled true), Spectrum Management capability (dot11SpectrumManagementRequired true), Regulatory Classes (dot11RegulatoryClassesRequired true), Supported Regulatory Classes and Extended Channel Switch Announcement (dot11ExtendedChannelSwitchImplemented true), and shall not use Channel

Switch Announcement.

 

dot11SpectrumManagementRequired true makes mandatory in IEEE 802.11-2007 the functions in subclause 11.8 TPC and 11.9 DFS.  11.9.2 Quieting channels for testing – describes the mechanism in which an AP may schedule quiet intervals.  The Quiet element is defined in subclause 7.3.2.23.  Within the Quiet element is the Quiet Duration which is a two octet field, expressed in TUs.  In 802.11, a TU is defined as time unit and is equal to 1024 usec.

 

Regards,

Eldad
