This study delves into the modeling of time-varying interference in the context of IEEE 802.11-14/1418r1. The research explores different interference models, highlighting the accuracy of block-wise PER modeling. Concerns regarding the necessity of incorporating time-varying interference and simulation assumptions are examined, supported by statistical interference data obtained through system level simulations.

doc.: IEEE 802.11-14/1418r1 Introduction Basic procedure of PHY abstraction in [1] is open to how to model time-varying interference. Different models have been studied in [2], among which a block-wise PER model has been shown to be more accurate. Some further studies on the time-varying interference are presented here. Submission Slide 2 Yakun Sun, et. al. (Marvell)
doc.: IEEE 802.11-14/1418r1 Concerns on Time Varying Interference Modeling There have been concerns regarding the necessity of modeling time-varying interference. How often a MPDU sees time-varying interference? How large the interference level changes? We collected the statistics of interference through integrated system level simulation. Submission Slide 3 Yakun Sun, et. al. (Marvell)
doc.: IEEE 802.11-14/1418r1 Simulation Assumptions Residential (Scenario 1) 4 STAs per apartment 2.4GHz, each AP in an apartment uses a randomly selected 20MHz channel (out of 3 non-overlapping 20MHz channels). UL only Fixed MCS7 CCA at -82dBm for the associated AP, and -82/-72/-62dBm for OBSS. Other simulation assumptions are based on [3] Interference collection: A subframe sees many interference events (too many BSS s around) Many of them do not matter (negligible interference levels change for far-away BSS) Only count interference change over 0.5dB.

As inter-BSS CCA threshold increases, stronger interference changes for a subframe Submission Slide 5 Yakun Sun, et. al. (Marvell)

The issue becomes more significant if spatial reuse is under consideration. It is important to handle the time-varying interference accurately. Submission Slide 6 Yakun Sun, et. al. (Marvell)

Weakest link T0=argmin_t SINR(t), T=1 PER estimation is improved but it still can overestimate PER for the short and strong interference rise.
