Optimizing Tone Interleave Schemes for RU Aggregations in IEEE 802.11be
This document discusses the development and evaluation of tone interleave schemes for Resource Unit (RU) aggregations in the context of IEEE 802.11be standard. By proposing various tone interleave strategies, the goal is to enhance throughput and performance for different RU configurations. Comparisons between joint tone interleaving and separate tone interleaving are made, focusing on various frequency segments and PPDU sizes. The study highlights the importance of optimizing tone interleaving for improved spectral efficiency in wireless communication systems.

March 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0440r0 On RU/Segment Parser and Tone Interleaver for 11be Date: 2020-03-02 Authors: Name Affiliations Address Phone Email Jianhan Liu jianhan.liu@mediatek.com Shengquan Hu Mediatek 2840 Junction Ave. San Jose, CA, 95134 Thomas Pare Submission Slide 1 Jianhan Liu, Mediatek Inc.
March 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0440r0 Introduction To improve spectral usage, 11be allows more than one RUs to be assigned to a single station (STA) [1]. Small-size RU aggregation and large-size RU aggregation To improve throughput, 240MHz/320MHz PPDU are introduced to 11be. We studied RU and segment parsers and tone interleave schemes for aggregated RU and 240MHz/320MHz PPDU. Evaluate the performance of RU/Segment parser and tone interleaver Our principle is to reuse 11ax segment parser and tone interleaver if there is no performance loss.

March 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0440r0 11ax segment parser and LDPC tone mapper for 160/80+80MHz In 11ax, separate tone interleaves are applied on 80MHz frequency segments. Within each 80MHz, just one tone interleaver. Submission Slide 3 Jianhan Liu, Mediatek Inc.
March 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0440r0 Tone interleave schemes for RU Aggregations We proposed the following tone interleave schemes for RU aggregations: One joint tone interleaver is applied to combined multiple RUs within one 80MHz frequency segment; Separate tone interleaves are applied on RUs or aggregated RUs in different 80MHz frequency segments. Reasons: Following the tone interleaver scheme defined in 11ac/11ax. For some RU aggregations, such as RU484+RU996, no good DTM can be found for joint tone interleaver schemes. Our simulations show that joint tone interleaver crossing 80MHz segment with optimal DTM have same performance as separated tone interleave. Submission Slide 4 Jianhan Liu, Mediatek Inc.

Separated Tone Interleaver For RU aggregation crossing 80MHz segments and 160/240/320MHz PPDU, we compared the performance of joint tone interleave and separate tone interleave. To get optimal DTM, we allow some tones (Ndrop) are not interleaver.

March 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0440r0 Options for Segment Parser Sequential parser Sequentially distribute the coded bits to each 80 MHz segments: assign all the coded bits to the 1st 80MHz segment first. After it fills up, move on to the 2nd 80MHz segment, and so on. Round robin parser (11ax method) Start with round robin distribution among all 80MHz segments, NBPSCS/2 coded bits to 80MHz segment 1 followed by NBPSCS/2 to 80MHz segment 2, etc. When a smaller 80MHz segment fills up, all the remaining bits are round robin distributed among remaining larger segments Proportional round robin parser For any RU aggregations, taking ?1 bit-blocks (s) to RU #1, taking ?2 bit-blocks (s) to RU#2 alternatively according to RU-size. m1bit-Blocks for RU #1 m1bit-Blocks for RU #1 m1 bit-Blocks for RU #1 Left-over bit-Blocks for RU with left tones m2 bit-Blocks for RU #2 m2 bit-Blocks for RU #2 m2 bit-Blocks for RU #2 Submission Slide 7 Jianhan Liu, Mediatek Inc.

March 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0440r0 Summary We evaluate the performance of joint tone interleave and separate tone interleave for each 80MHz segment. We evaluate the different segment parser for multi-RU aggregation and large BW. Conclusions: Joint tone interleave crossing 80MHz segment has almost the same performance as proportional round robin. Joint tone interleave crossing 80MHz segment requires significant architecture change. Proportional round robin outperforms round robin by 0.2~0.5dB. Different treatments for left-over bits for some RU aggregations have no impact on performance. To make it simple, same proportional round robin is applied to left-over bits.
