September 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1122r0 Introduction Currently, PHY is discussing populating SIG-A and SIG-B An identifier of the BSS (e.g., BSS COLOR) is proposed in SIG-A that is Beneficial for spatial reuse as discussed in [1] Beneficial for power save as discussed in this presentation Other identifiers, such as the (set) receiver(s) is likely to be present in the SIG-B field of HE DL MU PPDUs However, it is not clear whether it will be present in the other cases In addition to the BSS COLOR field, we propose SIG-A to contain an UL/DL Flag field to: Enable intra-PPDU power saving Submission Slide 8 Alfred Asterjadhi, et. al.
September 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1122r0 Proposed Identifiers in PHY header Legacy Preamble (L-SIG) PSDU HE Preamble ((A-)MPDU) (RL-SIG, SIG-A, SIG-B, ) Identifiers: COLOR, RA, TA, BSS COLOR field is proposed for the SIG-A field of an HE PPDU The BSS COLOR contains a non-unique value that identifies the BSS All HE PPDUs generated by BSS s members have same value A STA that receives an HE PPDU with a BSS COLOR equal to its BSS classifies it as a member PPDU Otherwise, it classifies it as a nonmember PPDU UL/DL Flag field is proposed for the SIG-A field of an HE PPDU: The UL/DL Flag indicates whether the frame is Uplink or Downlink Submission Slide 9 Alfred Asterjadhi, et. al.
September 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1122r0 Considerations on power save PS state as known at AP (Awake) Awake STA 1 state Doze UL PPDU STA 7 BSS Activity DL PPDU STA 4 UL PPDU STA 2 DL PPDU STA 2 DL PPDU STA 1 UL PPDU DL PPDU OBSS Activity A non-AP STA that has declared to its AP to be in Awake state Can go to sleep for a duration of time only if: The AP is not going to transmit a frame to that STA during that duration of time E.g., the AP is busy communicating exclusively with other devices For the purpose of this proposal we focus on intra-PPDU power save After decoding the PHY header of a PPDU, the STA can sleep for the PSDU duration only if The PPDU is a member PPDU and is not intended for the STA Hence, the non-AP STA is not allowed to sleep for the duration of a PSDU that: Is contained in a non-member PPDU Is contained in a member PPDU intended for the STA Submission Slide 10 Alfred Asterjadhi, et. al.
September 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1122r0 Can BSS COLOR alone enable intra-PPDU PS? HE Preamble Legacy Preamble (L-SIG) PSDU (RL-SIG, SIG-A, SIG-B, ) ((A-)MPDU) Sleep if member-PPDU Identifiers: COLOR, RA, TA, PPDU intended to non-AP STA Assuming that only the BSS COLOR field is available in the PHY header: The STA could go to sleep only if the received frame is a non-member PPDU But by doing so it could end up sleeping while the AP happens to transmit to it, missing the frame! In general, it is not a good idea to do so as it increases transmission failures In addition, BSS COLOR does not differentiate if the PPDU is intended to the STA Hence, the STA cannot go to sleep during the PSDUs that are: Transmitted by the AP and intended to other associated STAs (basically all BSS DL traffic minus 1) Transmitted by other associated STAs intended to the AP (basically all BSS UL traffic) Activating intra-PPDU PS for these PSDUs is very beneficial A STA is expected to receive frames generated within the BSS very frequently Hence, BSS COLOR alone does not provide information to enable intra-PPDU PS Because the STA at least needs to know that the PPDU is not intended for it Additional identifiers can help (see next slide) Slide 11 Submission Alfred Asterjadhi, et. al.
September 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1122r0 Intra-PPDU PS enhancements When both BSS COLOR field and UL/DL Flag are available: Non-AP STA determines if the member PPDU is uplink or downlink The STA can go to sleep for all member PPDUs that are uplink (only UL) Hence, the addition of UL/DL Flag is beneficial for intra-PPDU PS Non-AP STAs can sleep during all UL member PSDUs not intended to it Note: A STA still has to receive DL member PPDUs not intended to it I.e., no intra-PPDU PS is possible for these frames An identifier of the intended receiver helps in this case, Pros and cons of this case are currently under investigation Submission Slide 12 Alfred Asterjadhi, et. al.
September 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1122r0 Summary We propose adding a BSS COLOR field and an UL/DL Flag field in the common portion of the HE PHY header to enable intra PPDU power saving for HE STAs Submission Slide 13 Alfred Asterjadhi, et. al.
September 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1122r0 Straw Poll 1 Do you support to add to the SFD: The spec shall support adding a BSS COLOR field in the SIG-A field The BSS COLOR field is an identifier of the BSS (size TBD) Submission Slide 14 Alfred Asterjadhi, et. al.
September 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1122r0 Straw Poll 2 Do you support adding the following rules to the SFD: An HE non-AP STA may enter the Doze state until the end of an HE DL MU PPDU if: the value of the PPDU s BSS COLOR field is equal to the BSS COLOR of its BSS, and the value derived from any of the STA Identifiers in the SIG-B field does not match its own identifier or that of a broadcast/multicast identifier An HE non-AP STA may enter the Doze state until the end of an HE UL MU PPDU if: the value of the PPDU s BSS COLOR field is equal to the BSS COLOR of its BSS Submission Slide 15 Alfred Asterjadhi, et. al.
September 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1122r0 Straw Poll 3 Do you support adding an UL/DL Flag field in the SIG-A of an HE SU PPDU? The UL/DL Flag indicates whether the frame is Uplink or Downlink The value of this field for TDLS is TBD Submission Slide 16 Alfred Asterjadhi, et. al.
