IEEE 802.11-15/1289r1 discusses the advantages of using non-uniform constellations (NUCs) over uniform constellations (UCs) in the context of 1024-QAM for the 11ax standard. NUCs offer superior performance in various scenarios, including indoor environments, by providing increased spectral efficiency, higher throughput, and better robustness against impairments such as phase noise and quantization effects. The document outlines the motivation, complexity analysis, decoding comparisons, and performance results of NUCs for 1024-QAM, highlighting the potential enhancements in average throughput and selection probability of MCS. Different types of NUCs, such as 1D and 2D NUCs, are compared in terms of performance gains and complexity. Additionally, proposed NUCs for 1024-QAM aim to improve performance without requiring significant additional decoding complexity, offering optimized bit labeling and compatibility with existing WLAN systems without the need for additional blocks or dedicated bit interleavers.

  2. November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1289r1 Motivation 1024-QAM has been adopted for 11ax as an optional feature [1] 1024-QAM is an optional feature for SU and MU using resource units equal to or larger than 242 tones in 11ax. Advantages 25% increase in spectral efficiency compared to 256-QAM Throughput up to 1.25 Gbps per spatial stream (160MHz, code rate 5/6, short GI) 10 Gbps aggregate throughput with 8 spatial streams [2] It has been shown [2, 3] for uniform constellations (UCs) that 1024-QAM MCS are selected with very high probability in indoor scenarios 1024-QAM provides an average throughput gain of >20% in most indoor scenarios However, non-uniform constellations (NUCs) are superior to UCs NUCs provide SNR gains compared to UCs NUCs are more robust against impairments such as phase noise and quantization Performance of 1024-QAM in 11ax can be increased by NUCs Average throughput gain and selection probability of 1024-QAM MCS will increase Submission Slide 2 Thomas Handte, Sony
