出席人員:方士豪
派赴地區:美國/聖安東尼(San Antonio)
會議期間:103 年 11 月 3 日至 103 年 11 月 7 日
報告日期:103 年 12 月 30 日
摘 要
IEEE 802 Wireless Session #148 標準制定會議於美國德州的聖安
東尼舉行。由於本會期是 Plenary Session,因此會議與其他 IEEE 802
的 Working Group (802.1、802.3、802.15、802.16、802.18、802.19、
802.21、802.22)及 Study Group (SG ECSG)同時舉行;本次會議舉行
的地點為 Grand Hyatt San Antonio 飯店,時間由 2014 年 11 月 3 日至
11 月 7 日共計 5 天,而 IEEE 802.11 TGax 會議主要集中在前四天
11/3-11/6 舉行,最後一天 11/7 則舉行會議 Closing Plenary。本次到美
國德州聖安東尼市的主要目的是掌握最新一代無線通訊網路標準
IEEE 802.11 TGax High Efficiency Wireless (HEW) 在 Physical Layer
之技術發展近況。
本會期的 IEEE 802.11 TGax 會議,所討論的範圍主要還是在
Physical Layer 與 Media Access Control (MAC) Layer 兩大部分,而議
題還是圍繞在原先成立 Study Group 的目標,即如何提升 802.11
Physical Layer 與 MAC Layer 在 2.4GHz 與 5GHz 之頻譜效益(Spectrum
Efficiency)與 Area Throughput,除此之外也著重在如何提升室內與室
外之效能。細部的議題主要包含 Evaluation Methodology、Simulation
Scenarios 與 Calibration、Specification Framework 與一些 MU-MIMO
和 OFDMA 相 關 技 術 , 而 初 版 的 IEEE 802.11ax Specification
Framework 也在本會期中投票通過,之後標準規格文件將會根據此版
本修訂。會議中除了 Physical Layer 的相關議題,MAC Layer 的議題
也在會議中提出討論。除了標準制定會議之外,大會也準備兩個
Tutorial 讓參與的成員參加,了解目前相關技術發展的近況。

技術貢獻
本次會議的主要目標是追蹤 802.11 工作群組之發展情形,即時
掌握目前 802.11 標準會議中,各家科技公司最新技術之近況,並沒
有提案產出。
會議解說
本次 IEEE 802 Wireless Session #148 會議於美國聖安東尼舉行,
會議內容主要可以分成上述幾種標準制定會議,本次主要是選擇參與
最多人的 IEEE 802.11 TGax 會議。由於 TGax 會議人數較多,因此也
包含了許多廠商或公司人員來進行提案討論。每次相關人員提案後,
其他公司人員皆會進行相關技術的詢問與挑戰,由此可見各家廠商或
公司對於此次標準制定會議之重視。

六、會議紀要
6.1 Evaluation Methodology 議題討論
1
11-14/1388, “Consideration on PER prediction for PHY abstruction”, Bo
Sun (ZTE Corp)
 總覽

在 PHY Abatraction 的方法中,目前 RBIR-based 的方法已經放入 Evaluation

Methodology 文件中。
目前有兩個議題需要解決
 議題 1: When an A-MPDU consists of multiple sub-frames, packet error rate
for each sub-frame should be estimated separately to allow the block ACK
for each sub-frame.
 議題 2: The preamble error model and mapping rules should be defined for
PHY abstraction simulation calibration.
 摘要

提出針對 Issue 1 之解法步驟:
 步驟 1: Predict PER(i, *) with the interference event i based on the
block-wised PHY abstraction
 步驟 2: Generate PER(*, j) of sub-frame j from the set of PER(i, *) with the
interference events happened within the duration of the sub-frame j.
 前提與假設:



There are I interference events overlapping with the target PSDU
transmission. The i-th interference event starts from Ti and lasts for
LIF (i) OFDM symbols.
There are J A-MPDU sub-frames included in the PSDU and the
j-th sub-frame lasts for LSF (j) OFDM symbols.
定義:
18

L(i, j) as the number of OFDM symbols in the j-th A-MPDU
sub-frame that overlaps with the i-th interference event, then
 步驟 3: Determine whether a sub-frame j is received correctly
 步驟 4: Determine whether the PPDU is valid

提出針對 Issue 2 之多種解法
 選項 1: Preamble decoding modeled as a sub-frame decoding

Take the whole preamble as a standalone sub-frame with a special MCS
 The PHY abstraction in [1] can be used for preamble PER prediction
 選項 2: The impact of preamble decoding error modeled as additional
AWGN factor
 選項 3: Preamble decoding error modeled based on SINR threshold


Set a preamble error SINR threshold T
If SINR < T, preamble decoding fails and the PPDU receiving fails;
otherwise, the PPDU receiving error is calculated as defined in current
PHY abstraction
 選項 4: Mixed error model



Directly use RBIR PHY abstraction for signaling field PER prediction
with specific MCS and symbol length.
The channel estimation error by LTFs is modeled as additional AWGN
factor
The impact of STF receiving process is ignored.
 結論


本 Contribution 提出了 A-MPDE PER 的 Prediciton 方法
另外也提出了多種 Preamble Decoding Error 模型的方法

11-14/1418, “Further Study of Time Varying Interference and PHY
Abstraction” Yakun Sun (Marvell)
 總覽


一些基本的如何 Model Time-Varying Interference 的 PHY Abstraction 程序已經
在之前的文件中討論
本 Contribution 提出了關於 Time-varying intereference 更進一步的探討
 摘要

以下提供了多種必須要 modeling 時變 interference 的因素

 How often a MPDU sees time-varying interference?
 How large the interference level changes?
本 Contribution 蒐集了一些藉由 intergrated 的系統模擬所得到的 interference
的統計資訊
模擬結果分析

 Time varying interference experienced by a subframe is not negligible.
 The issue becomes more significant if spatial reuse is under consideration.
 It is important to handle the time-varying interference accurately.

 結論


從系統模擬層級的模擬可看出,在 subframe 之內的 interference change 是不
可以忽略的。
一個更精準的 PHY Abstraction 方法必須要提出並可以處理 Time-varying
interference。

注意事項
 Per-STA throughput CDF curves are relatively smooth because
 Throughput is defined as (1-PER)*R
 Time averaged
 0-thoughput STAs exist due to not enough transmissions
 Curves do not converge when transmissions are not enough
 SINR curves being odd might be caused by MCS selection, table look-up, or
not enough drops. To be investigated.
 結論


Throughput 的曲線可提供一個基本的 Calibration 結果
MCS 選擇使得 SINR 看起來與 Box 2 的結果不盡相同

 結論

若使用單一使用者之 OFDM 系統,並不能在 OFDMA UL 情況下直接計算
MUI,因為所有的子載波皆假設含有相同的 Frequency Error,且 Power 也假
設相同。

一般化 OFDMA 系統是一種很直接的方法,而且可以使得計算效能損失變得
比較容易。

 結論


Frequency-selective scheduling 可以提供單一使用者或多個使用者額外的增益
不精準的通道資訊會導致 Scheduling 的效能損失,但是日後 802.11ax 應該還
是會採取此方法,因為會得到額外的好處

七、心得與建議
本次會議主要是參加IEEE 802.11 Working Group中Task Group ax相關議
題之討論,此Task Group主要討論的議題還是圍繞在當初Study Group的目標,
即如何提升802.11 Physical Layer與MAC Layer在2.4GHz與5GHz之Spectrum
Efficiency與Area Throughput,除此之外也著重在如何提升室內與室外之效
能。從會議中可看出,目前世界各大科技公司(Intel、MediaTek、Nokia、
Qualcomm、Broadcom、Marvell、LG、Samsung、Huawei等)正積極的朝向此
新世代無線通訊IEEE 802.11標準來布局,若台灣在此領域有相關人員的支
持,在標準制定會議上可預期會有一席之地。除此之外,從會議中可看出,
若要使本身公司提出之技術被接受,除了技術本身要夠前瞻外,如何得到其
他公司的支持也是另外一個重點,因為能得到其他公司的支持才能將本身技
術打入標準規格內,提升公司之能見度。
