IEEE 802.11-23/1186r1 Multi-AP Coordination over Fibre for Enhanced QoE
Explore how IEEE 802.11-23/1186r1 introduces Multi-AP coordination over fibre to improve Quality of Experience (QoE) in Wi-Fi deployment. The framework of Fibre-to-The-Room (FTTR) management entities, differences between FTTR and UHR coordination, and the business scenarios and benefits of FTTR are discussed. This innovative approach aims to address latency, connectivity, and scalability challenges in in-premises networks, supporting applications like XR, cloud gaming, and industrial use cases.

November 2023 doc.: IEEE 802.11-23/1186r1 Multi-AP coordination over Fibre Date: 2023-06-25 Authors: Name Affiliation Address Phone Email Tony Zeng tony.zengyan@huawei.com Xuming Wu Yanchun Li Huawei Submission Slide 1 Tony Zeng, Huawei
November 2023 doc.: IEEE 802.11-23/1186r1 Introduction Throughput enhancement is not the only driven factor for service operator to evolve the in-premises network High-end XR continually grows 3D naked eye display provides 3D imaging and multiple view angles QoE is becoming the key factor for Wi-Fi deployment Latency: industrial application, cloud gaming, XR, etc. Green: green ICT, ICT enables green digitalization Others: connectivity, etc. UHR matches the needs to solve the QoE problems Traditionally, IEEE 802.11 is mainly focusing on air interface ITU-T SG15 Q3 is working on defining in-premises fibre communication protocol (G.fin series recommendation & G.p2pf) for Fibre-to-the-room (FTTR) scenario for full Wi-Fi coverage Submission Slide 2 Tony Zeng, Huawei
November 2023 doc.: IEEE 802.11-23/1186r1 Fibre-to-The-Room (FTTR) Business scenario Home scenario Home scenario P2MP fibre topology for scalability, direct link Symmetric rate (2.5/10Gbps), stable & reliable connection, extremely low latency, etc. Business scenario (live broadcasting, smart office, etc.) Dense connection (32 APs), long range@1km, remote power feed, Super uplink, low/guaranteed latency, east-west streaming, seamless roaming, etc. Omdia forecasts 7 million system set of FTTR will be deployed in China by 2023 Submission Slide 3 Tony Zeng, Huawei
November 2023 doc.: IEEE 802.11-23/1186r1 The framework of FTTR Management Entities Management system One or more coordinators that: Coordinate AP transmissions Coordinate BH/FH characteristics Wi-Fi management SAP (defined outside ITU-T) QoS channels Scheduling / Time alignment Capabilities G.fin management SAP (defined in ITU-T) QoS channels Scheduling / Time alignment Capabilities Access Network SME MME Management plane MFU SFU End user device Downlink command/request NT Centralized coordination Local coordinator User app MCE SCE Controller(s) Uplink report Network Entities Wi-Fi STA Control plane G.fin Wi-Fi AP G.fin Eth Eth Wi-Fi AP transceiver transceiver FTTR transceiver ODN ONU PHY L2+ DLL OLT PHY The availability of Wi- Fi interfaces is important for fibre link to help network coordination IFDN FTTR SFU End user device transceiver DLL ETH Local coordinator User app L2+ Wi-Fi Wi-Fi Wi-Fi STA G.fin Wi-Fi AP Eth transceiver ETH SFU MFU Data plane Main Fibre Unit (MFU) Secondary Fibre Unit (SFU) Control plane: Centralized fibre-wireless coordination Identify service flow and differentiate the service QoS MFU dynamically collects the Wi-Fi and network relevant information such as data buffer, link status, etc. The MFU controller does analysis and makes decision The decision is sent to each SFU through the fibre network Submission Slide 4 Tony Zeng, Huawei
November 2023 doc.: IEEE 802.11-23/1186r1 Differences between FTTR Coordination and UHR Coordination Optical Line Terminal Multi-AP coordination over fibre link Multi-AP coordination through air interface Fibre link should be a complement way for multi-AP coordination Guaranteed low latency channel for control message exchange in PHY and DLL Deterministic data delivery via TDMA in uplink and TDM broadcasting in downlink Tree topology, in which controller is set in MFU High throughput backhauling over fibre, best for Co-BF & Joint transmission Nature high synchronization over fibre network (OOK modulation over 2.5G/10G) Submission Slide 5 Tony Zeng, Huawei
November 2023 doc.: IEEE 802.11-23/1186r1 Neighbor coordination in optical access network To enable global coordination through a E2E network Additional controller in central office -> Real-time coordination message exchanging: under the same PON port between different PON port of same OLT between different PON port of different OLT Submission Slide 6 Tony Zeng, Huawei
November 2023 doc.: IEEE 802.11-23/1186r1 Summary Multi-AP coordination over fibre can be a complementary way as that over air interface: We suggest 802.11 (e.g. UHR) can specify the multi-AP coordination control interface for fibre backhaul case Submission Slide 7 Tony Zeng, Huawei
