IEEE 802.11-17-0328-00-00ax Link Adaptation Feedback Solutions
Explore the challenges of combating interferences in wireless communication networks, focusing on narrow-band and on-off interferences. The document proposes solutions involving Dynamic Channel Management (DCM) and fragmentation for effective interference mitigation. Additionally, the importance of adaptation via feedback for optimal link performance is emphasized.

March 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17-0328-00-00ax Link Adaptation Feedback for Combating Interferences Date: 2017-03-06 Authors: Name Qinghua Li Affiliations Address Intel Phone email qinghua.li@intel.com 2200 Mission College Blvd, Santa Clara, CA 95054 Feng Jiang Intel feng1.jiang@intel.com Xiaogang Chen Intel xiaogang.c.chen@intel.com Daniel Cohn Intel daniel.cohn@intel.com Yaron Alpert Intel yaron.alpert@intel.com Eddie Lin Intel eddie.x.lin@intel.com Po-kai Huang Intel po-kai.huang@intel.com Robert Stacey Intel robert.stacey@intel.com Submission Slide 1 Q.

March 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17-0328-00-00ax Problem statement (1/3) Interferences cause throughput drop and even link loss Interference Throughput with legacy link adaptation Low average throughput Time Throughput knowing presence of interference High average throughput Time Submission Slide 2 Q. Li, F. Jiang, X. Chen, Intel
March 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17-0328-00-00ax Problem statement (2/3) Unlike noise, interferences usually concentrate in part of frequency or time Narrow band interference (NBI) e.g. clock harmonics and Bluetooth On-off interference (OOI) e.g. microwave oven, Bluetooth, and USB bus Freq Freq Narrow band interference On- off inter feren ce Packet corrupted by interference Time Time Submission Slide 3 Q. Li, F. Jiang, X. Chen, Intel
March 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17-0328-00-00ax Problem statement (3/3) Reducing MCS doesn t help Narrow band interference still corrupts the same percentage of signal On-off interference causes a vicious cycle: with lower MCS, MPDU duration becomes longer and more vulnerable to interference Freq On- off inter feren ce On- off inter feren ce Packet corrupted by interference Time Slide 4 Q. Li, F. Jiang, X. Chen, Intel Submission
March 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17-0328-00-00ax Solutions DCM and fragmentation are efficient for NBI and OOI However, Tx doesn t even know the presence of interference at Rx Survived fragment Freq Freq Narrow band interference On- off interf erenc e Duplicated DCM copies Time Time Submission Slide 5 Q. Li, F. Jiang, X. Chen, Intel
March 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17-0328-00-00ax Adaptation via feedback Link adaption feedback can tell transmitter to use DCM and shorter MPDU for combating narrow band interference and on-off interference, respectively CID 9619, The HE-MCS defined in 28.5 varies depending on DCM. The HE link adaptation mechanism should also include a recommendation of the DCM. Submission Slide 6 Q. Li, F. Jiang, X. Chen, Intel

March 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17-0328-00-00ax Available feedback field Control Information subfield of link adaptation still has 9 reserved bits currently Submission Slide 8 Q. Li, F. Jiang, X. Chen, Intel
March 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17-0328-00-00ax Feedback for DIM Use 1 reserved bit for Rx to recommend DCM Combat NBI by sending data over two sets of tones B15 B0 B8 B2 B3 B6 B7 HE-MCS Reserved NSS DCM 1 Bits: 3 4 8 Submission Slide 9 Q. Li, F. Jiang, X. Chen, Intel
March 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17-0328-00-00ax Feedback for fragmentation Use 1 reserved bit for Rx to recommend short MPDU Combat OOI by shortening MPDU duration e.g. down to 500 bytes Indicate the presence of OOI such that Tx knows RSSI is not reliable for link adaptation B9 B15 B0 B2 B3 B6 B7 B8 DCM Frag.
