Explore the important modeling components necessary for a realistic estimation of throughput gain through CCAT adjustment in the context of IEEE 802.11 standards. Examining contributions and performance gains related to Clear Channel Assessment Threshold (CCAT) adjustment, this document delves into the comparison of modeling components, simulation scenarios, and simplified modeling elements to enhance understanding and optimization of wireless network performance.

January 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0050r0 Summary Factors limiting user throughput gain with CCAT adjustment are identified With SISO and ideal modeling assumptions, high gain has been shown The gain in average user throughput of adjusted CCAT is reduced significantly after adding: MIMO transmission (improves baseline) Adaptive auto rate fallback link adaptation Realistic preamble detection and decoding Analysis was done for full buffer DL-only traffic, for realistic gain estimation realistic traffic model with mix of DL and UL traffic should be considered Adjusted CCAT or DSC provides system improvements [1] but more realistic modeling is important to avoid overestimation of gains Submission Slide 11 Yu Wang et. al., Ericsson
