Simulation Analysis of ED Threshold Levels in IEEE 802.11-16/1451r0
Explore the impact of changing the Energy Detection (ED) threshold levels in IEEE 802.11 networks through simulation analysis. Results show the degradation in throughput for 802.11ax devices when transitioning to a lower ED threshold, while legacy devices experience performance improvements. The study delves into different scenarios and provides valuable insights for network optimization and device compatibility.

doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1451r0 November 2016 Introduction IEEE 802.11 WG created the PDED ad hoc to consider potential response to 3GPP RAN1 s request to change 802.11 s ED threshold from -62[dBm] to -72[dBm] IEEE802.11-16/1291r0 [1] suggests three experiments (by simulation and/or testing) to provide the basis to respond to the request A) What happens if all 802.11 STAs uses ED of -72dBm B) What happens if some 802.11 STA uses ED of -72dBm C) What happens if both LAA UE and 802.11 STA operate at ED of -72dBm but with no PD communication In this presentation, we show system simulation results for B) in dense environment B) is a realistic in the presence of legacy 802.11 STAs Slide 2 Submission Yuichi Morioka, Sony Corporation

doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/1451r0 November 2016 Conclusion In this contribution, we proposed to reject 3GPP RAN1 s request to change 802.11 s ED threshold from -62dBm to -72dBm As it is not realistic to change legacy STAs behavior, we analyzed case B) some 802.11 STA uses ED of -72dBm , where 802.11ax STAs use the new threshold In this coexistence scenario, performance of 802.11ax STAs significantly degrade, hence the request to change all new 802.11 STAs to adopt the new threshold should be rejected Further analysis should be conducted for adjustable ED threshold according to transmission power, as defined in 3GPP LAA Slide 7 Submission Yuichi Morioka, Sony Corporation
