Nov. 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/1841r0 Outline More data to answer/clarify questions from the last F2F regarding the proposal of low power listening in [1]. The differentiations with implementation-based solution. Summary Submission Slide 2 Xiaogang Chen et al. (ZEKU)
Nov. 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/1841r0 Power consumptions of the connectivity module in smart phone Indoor Positioning 10.37% Streaming Shopping News Gaming Modules\APPs 5.53% 3.23% 3.98% 6.86% Connectivity (Wi-Fi) 35.31% 23.91% 29.14% 30.02% 38.98% CPU 1.97% 1.18% 1.49% 1.26% 5.33% GPU 23.03% 51.20% 41.92% 34.98% 16.33% LCD 12.28% 6.08% 7.23% 6.54% 12.24% Memory 4.73% 0.05% 1.37% 0.95% 2.19% Audio Miscs 17.14% 14.35% 14.86% 15.89% 18.06% Observations: The power consumption of Wi-Fi module varies from ~3% to ~10% depends on the apps; Compare with other modules, Wi-Fi module can be considered as a major source of power drain. The measurement is conducted for smartphone. Power draw for connectivity maybe larger for IoT device. Power consumptions are always benchmarked for each individual module including connectivity.

Nov. 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/1841r0 Clarifications on the power consumption Figure on the bottom right is the energy consumption accumulating over time. Order of the power consumption: sleeping < listening < Rx < Tx; Order of the time duration: Tx < Rx < listening < sleeping; Energy consumption (accumulating over time) of Listening is higher than sleeping/Tx/Rx.

Nov. 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/1841r0 Considerations on implementation-based LPL (1/2) HP Path Ramp up Transition from Transition from Upon packet detected LP to HP HP to LP LowPwr HighPwr LowPwr RTS/Trigger Pre-EHT field EHT modulated field AP CTS BA STA mW Time Incoming Packed HP path ramp up due to False Triggered No AID Match confirmed HP ramp up always needs XXus to settle depends on implementation; HP ramp up based on packet detection will introduce false trigger; Intro-PPDU LP to HP switch is not free Need a slot to switch while the Pre-EHT portion needs to be received; Difficult to reuse the Phase tracking during the Pre-EHT portion.

Nov. 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/1841r0 Considerations on implementation-based LPL (2/2) Initial Frame RTS/Trigger Pre-EHT field EHT modulated field AP CTS BA STA STA Not addressed in RTS mW STA addressed in RTS Alt.1 STA addressed in RTS Alt.2 Time The initial frame provides flexibility for implementation on the listening operation. Different implementations can choose their preferred alternative to leverage the initial frame and trade off. Submission Slide 6 Xiaogang Chen etc. (ZEKU)
Nov. 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/1841r0 Summary Given the analysis in the slides, [1] and the agreements upon the formation of the UHR SG (recapped below), it is highly recommended to include Reducing device level power consumption in the PAR. The Study Group will investigate technology which may improve reliability of WLAN connectivity, reduce latencies, increase manageability, increase throughputincluding at different SNR levels, and reduce device level power consumption Submission Xiaogang Chen et al.

Nov. 2022 doc.: IEEE 802.11-22/1841r0 Backup:Power consumptions break down (copied from [1]) If LPL (Low Power Listening) module is introduced in RF, the power consumption will be scaled down as in the table below: Significant amount of power consumption can be saved in RF with a dedicated LPL mode. 160MHz HP 20MHz HP 20MHz LP 2 Chain 2 Chain 1 Chain PLL 100% 100% 7% ADC 100% 19% 3% Others 100% 66% 14% Total 100% 63% 9% Note: Normalized per row based on 160MHz HP Submission Slide 9 Xiaogang Chen et al.
