802.11-08/0518r1Chair opened meeting at 8:00

Presentations:

802.11-08/0535r0, Presentation by Minyoung Park showed 1Gbps is very expensive (40dB SNR, 5 antennas, and 510Kbyte aggregated packets)

below 6GHz conclusion was to lower the expectation of 1Gbps for VHT Questions:

o Andrew Myles: to achieve 1Gbps we have to massive aggregates, 80MHz, 4 antennas, is there demand for this?

o Brian Hart: what kind of receiver? Eldad: MMSE

o Marc De Courville: only single link was considered. 08/307r1 presented throughput with 3 devices simultaneous. OFDMA throughput will scale linearly

o Frank: are we still operating with 802.11, or clean sheet? Minyoung: based on 802.11

o Andrew Myles: don’t confuse clean sheet with amendment/new standardo Peter Loc: on slide 9, what is CW base on?

Minyoung: ~7

802.11-08/0464r3, Presentation by Marc de Courville, proposing a <6 GHz PAR Define – “entry-point products” as limited-capability STAs. Explanatory notes required showing that infrastructure BSS is NOT the only implementation –

concern that PAR looks like it’s exclusive of mesh, etc. Questions:

o Vinko: opt. 1 hard to change since everyone wants 1Gbps; opt. 2 use of optional is tricky; opt. 3, scope already includes multiple streams

Marc: to be realistic, we need 1 AP & 3 STA’so Rolf: what do you mean by entry point products?

Marc: first product to come out on the market for a smooth transition from 11n, with two antennas/streams

Eldad: MID with two 802.11 antennaso Adrian: “multiple communications as the same time” what do we mean by “same time”?

Tx or buffered packets? We are building into technical solution into scope. Haven’t seen proof of technical feasibility of SDMA. Speaking for strawpoll option 1, and remove “multiple communications as the same time”

Marc: “multiple communications as the same time” is a feature not a solution; there are many standards already with parallel communications

o Dave Bagby: what are thoughts about mesh or IBSS? Marc: wanted a be clear how throughput computed

o Andrew Myles: three options of strawpoll all focus on throughput. This is only one dimension, need to consider other dimensions, e.g. range, spectrum efficiency, power

Marc: big difference now is that scope covers full BSS, not just single linko Johny Zweig: worried about scope being vague

May 2008 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0699r0

o Peter Loc: friendly amendment by removing “multiple communications as the same time”

Marc: wants to preserve multiple communications for uniquenesso Darwin: tried to word in most general sense to allow different types of technology for

multiple simultaneous communications Straw poll1: In order to come up with a reasonable PAR target throughput that avoids putting too

many constraints on entry point products which is your favorite option? o Option 1: lower the peak rate in the PAR scope wording

straw poll result: 500Mbps: 14, 750Mbps: 3, 1Gbps: 45 Indicates that 1Gbps should be the target!

o Option 2: make the throughput metric optional in the scope wording e.g.: An optional mode providing a maximum infrastructure BSS throughput of at

least 1Gbps as measured at the MAC data service access point (SAP)o Option 3: add an explanatory note to detail in which specific configuration the throughput

constraint must be met e.g.: The infrastructure BSS throughput is defined as the sum of the MAC SAP

throughputs across all active transmissions within the BSS The 1Gbps maximum BSS throughput is to be achieved when considering a BSS

with at least 1 AP and 3 simultaneously actively-communicating STAs Option 1 – 13, Option 2 – 1, Option 3 – 28. Eldad: re. third bullet on slide 6, should be in 5 Criteria, not in additional explanatory section Adrian: re. third bullet on slide 6, is this meant to be a replacement of due diligence?

o Marc: propose to remove third bullet Adrian: does 2nd bullet impose restriction of simultaneously

o Eldad: in a email query, responding TG chairs operating with additional explanatory section not being normative, but may have used points in additional explanatory section to create requirements

Brian: re. technical feasibility, OFDMA takes 80MHz with divides it among multiple STA’s but it is still only 80MHz. Do we get increase in throughput from other technologies?

o Marc: smaller bandwidth with give diversity gain, increased SNR; multi-use MIMO increases throughput further

Second straw poll deferred.

0. IntroductionEldad Perahia (Intel), Chair: Our agenda is to have 20 min to just do critical edits to the PAR and 5C text, so we do not get caught by the 4 hr rule for bringing the motion to the WG.

1.1 Editorial discussion on <6 GHz PARMarc De Courville (Motorola): Presents 08/609r1 to discuss changes he made to the PAR

- There’re only three changes :o The titleo 7.4 Additonal Explanatory Notes :

Changed it to become more generic, related it to throughput Now it’s “1 AP and at least 3 simultaneously actively –communicating STAs”

o 17.5.3.b One unique solution per problem Wanted more distinct identity: Added it’s specifically <6 GHz and added section

some changes to demonstrated system feasibility - Checked in afternoon yesterday, meets 4 hr rule

Chair: Any questions/comments?

Adrian Stephens (Intel):- Has questions on multiuser transmissions

Chair: Let’s save that for general discussion

1.2. Editorials discussion on 60 GHz PAR

Gal Basson (Wilocity): Presents 08/223r4 to discuss changes he made to the PAR.- There’s only one change- Deleted line in 1) “while ensuring that both systems will coexist in the same area”

Chair: Any questions/comments?- None heard

2.1.1 General discussion on <6 GHz PAR

Eldad Perahia (Intel):

May 2008 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0699r0

- We have had 3 weeks of so of submissions on the PARs- His concerns have been alleviated, eg. on multiple transmissions at the same time, etc.- He even put his name on the <6GHz PAR- He speaks in support of the PAR

Dave Bagby:- There’s a sentence he is concerned with remained unchanged:

o A maximum infrastructure BSS throughput of at least 1 Gbps as measure at the MAC SAP

o Excludes Mesh- He speaks against it- .11 had strong principle of keeping same MAC for different PHY- With 11n we break that, it’s intertwined now- Industry asks how come we can’t use 11n MAC options for my PHY?- Different projects going on at the same time modifying the same text will be challenging- Does it also makes sense to just put a magic number (a base 10) to be the “metric”- Just shooting for a magic number is not good idea until we know what we are doing from a .11

standpoint

Peter Ecclesine (Cisco System)- Recounted 802.3 history and its many proposals and that they ended up in a single MAC- At this time, we should have one MAC group for all the PHY- He speaks for having one MAC- So he speaks against each of these PARs

Andrew Myles (Cisco Systems)- Marginally against two PARs- He has talked about NG WiFi many times, as have many- Throughput certainly is a metric, but there’re also power, density, etc- But these two PARs ignore these other dimensions and focus only just on throughput- He believes we will get to 1 Gbps, but would fail to deliver as a NG systems- He’s all for NG 802.11 but not just its throughput- Also, it’s important we have technical feasibility for this <6 GHz PAR- During 11n we know what we want to do, for MIMO PHY, etc.- Here, there’s only “multiuser” aspect, and that’s it- And the technical feasible section is flakey, it’s bases on the assumption that we will be able to

achieve things with 80 MHz; assumption on having infinite bandwidth availability is a nightmare- We should make sure we can do something across the dimension

Adrian Stephens (Intel Corp.)- Happy that multiple simultaneous communications is brought out- But having it as the only merit is not good, since we have not shown any technologies that works- Furthermore, Tech Feasibility is not proven – especially we have glossed over MAC- Wants to see more MAC simulations, before he would think this PAR is tech feasible

Rolf de Vegt (Qualcomm)- Speaks in favor- We spent a fair bit of time on these ideas already in the SG phase- We can now spent time in the WG phase to discuss these topics in details- Have faith that these questions mentioned by previous people will be addressed

Darwin Engwer (Nortel)- Speaks in favor

May 2008 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0699r0

- Scope of the PAR is not exclusively addressed that the only case addressed here is infrastructure mode, it says there’re modes of operations that will satisfy requirements

- This is support for the type of service we will deliver

Dave Bagby - Responding to multiple commenters- We can debate around on what is include/excluded, etc.- We haven’t done enough work to get project started, it’s PAR- Does not think time or VHT is expiring is the matter whether a SG is done is time to move on to

WG

Marc de Courville (Motorola)- Speaks in favor- We know bandwidth is needed in <6 GHz ; we know antennas is needed, but it’s already near the

limit; thus the last resource that we can exploit is multiple transmissions, which is new in 802.11 - He believes this is the evolutionary element for 802.11- Separate MAC and PHY is not a good idea, cross-layer is key

Vinko Erceg (Broadcom)- Speaks in favor- He has editorial comments

o Chair: We’re passed 4 hr rule…o He will say anyway…

- Should say “same time” rather than “simultaneous”o Chair: We’ve gone through this back and forth and eventually converged to

“simultaneous”- He has concerns with 7.4, 2nd bullet, but it’s actually fixed already

2.1.2 StawpollDo you support bringing the <6 GHz PAR & 5C’s to WG for motion?40/8/15

Chair: Has 75%, indication of going forward, he will go and craft motion

2.2.1 General discussion on 60 GHz PAREldad P.:

- Up to few wks ago, he had issues, he made submissions wanted to have coupling between different 60 GHz devices

- These elements has been addressed now- He is in favor

Andrew Myles (Cisco Systems, Inc.)- Favor- Technically good - But process-wise, it’s a disaster to be a amendment to existing 802.11 stnadard - We have clear initiative that this is a different spectrum, new MAC

o So this should be a new standard

Peter Loc (Ralink Technologies)- Fast transmission transfer is his concern- Then it says in next section there’s multiband, this is very hard, will cause many discussion

May 2008 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0699r0

Vinko Erceg (Broadcom)- Same concerns: What do we mean by fast transfer b/w PHYs?- This really mandates multiband or multiple-PHYs

o Chair: This just says there needs to be a mechanism. This is spelled out in explanatory note, no need for multiband.

- Should we say “provision” rather than “enabling”o Chair: Don’t see difference

Frank Whetten (Boeing)- Has concerns how to do this simultaneous changes on the standard- It’s going to be a disaster, just like what Andrew Myles said

Solomon Trainin (Intel)- In Favor- Amendment allows us to reuse 802.11- Good sol’n since it enables, especially the fast transfer

Darwin Engwer- In favor- Had doubts before on 60 GHz, now he has changed view- This is a good path of evolution for 802.11 that worth our while to explore

Gal Basson (Wilocity)- This SG name is “Very High Throughput”, this PAR really brings that to the 802.11, 60 GHz can

actually let us achieve even higher than 1 Gbps- In favor

Dave Bagby - Against- Sure, VHT, but it’s VHT @ totally unknown range- Believes 60 GHz makes the range to be very short- He believes the current PAR actually allows for zero-range

Don Schultz (Boeing)- Against- Do not know what “802.11 user experience” means

Peter Ecclesine (Cisco Systems)- Against- Range is known in all the 802.3 technologies standards, they kept it to be unchanged- So customer had expectations already, when transferring to and from technologies- It’s a disservice if we do not “put stake down in the ground” on range, we’re “lacking” in the

expectations

Johnny Zweig (Apple)- Favor, although share same sentiments on range discussion- Apple sells products so we want things to work- “Range” is hard to characterize- 60 GHz will work in 100 m in free space- We can rely on market to do the down selection, customers won’t buy them if we fail on

delivering range- We will deal with it

May 2008 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0699r0

Marc de Courville (Motorola)- In favor- True won’t have lots of range, but trust the rate adoption mechanism, i.e. moving back to 5 GHz

will give us range- Pathloss is key to range, but it’s a known environment being studied for yrs, so we can rely on

those studies

Dave Bagby- Disagree to previous speakers that it’s difficult to specify range- Yes, it’s difficult, but doesn’t mean we don’t do it- Don’t like the fact that we don’t specify this range at all, bec we would end up allowing extreme

cases (loopholes) to pass the PAR- He should set expectations, eg. for same range of 11n we deliver to you such and such data rates

2.2.2 StrawpollDo you support bringing the 60 GHz PAR and 5C’s to WG for motion?40/8/20

Chair: Has 75%, indication of going forward, he will go and craft motion

3.1 Deciding on motion text

Chair: Show text, asked for comments.

Peter: This is half the motion, it’s not just for WG but for Excomm. Need to say “forward to EC for approval”

Chair: Used VTS as template…

Peter E.: That’s a bad template.

Chair adapted these suggestions.

Sheung Li (Si Beam):- He has the exact wording for this motion- Went up to Chair to show his wording, but Chair says that’s

Darwin E. (Nortel):- Change “both” in the wording

Andrew Myles:- He believes we need two motions since there are two topics here

Dave Bagby:- These are two separate decisions we are trying to make, we need two motions.

Chair adapts these suggestions and made separate motions.

Rob Stacey (Intel):- He gave some editorial change suggestions

May 2008 doc.: IEEE 802.11-08/0699r0

Dave Bagby:- Should preface it with “something” like “we believe such and such…”- Gave suggestions to make changes

Chair adapts Dave’s suggestions along with using Sheung Li’s existing template.

Darwin E:- Suggests editorial corrections.

Chair: But that’s not in the template….

Frank Whetton provides another template….
