July 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17/0998r1 Background For 11ax, Mid-amble design has been introduced by setting Doppler bit to 1 at the last meeting [1][2]. Considering SP results, it seems not to have big resistance on Doppler procedure based on Mid-ambles. To secure the receiver processing time, 11ax decided to support the packet extension. The receiver computes NSYMand TPEusing Equation (28-110) and (28- 111) in D1.3, respectively Two equations need to be updated for Mid-amble design Submission Slide 2 Yujin Noh, Newracom

July 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17/0998r1 Considerations (2/2) When Doppler bit sets to 1, how to identify the number of NSYMfor decoding data OFDM symbols and duration of packet extension, TPE, from a received HE PPDU? NMA is a function of NSYMand vise versa. Each equation includes floor function. It might be tricky to obtain the NSYM directly with Equation 1) and Equation 2) below. = / N N M Equation 1) MA SYM + + L_LENGTH 3 m = 4 / N T N T T b Equation 2) PE Disambigui ty SYM PA MA MA SYM 3 =T TPA where HE PREAMBLE Submission Slide 4 Yujin Noh, Newracom

July 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17/0998r1 How to get NSYMand TPE Option 1 leave it implementation-dependent with Equation 1 and Equation 2. It is unavoidable burden to derive each value, NMA, NSYM and TPE because it is not intuitive. Given the Equation (28-110) computing NSYMwhen Doppler bit sets to 0, it is natural to provide NSYMas well when Doppler bit sets to 1. Option 2 with closed-form equation Provide the equation for NMA for the receiver to use. With NMA, the receiver derives NSYMand TPE. Submission Slide 6 Yujin Noh, Newracom

In order to get the proper NMA, precise TResidue is very important. Mod operation with rational numbers may not provide precise Tresidue because of simulator s internal operation such as floating point error (e.g. the fourth decimal position or something.) When implemented, this conditional statement may require additional memory to calculate and store the precise Tresidue Submission Slide 10 Yujin Noh, Newracom
