Explore the concept of supporting multiple Resource Units (RU) for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) in the IEEE 802.11-2020 standard. Delve into use cases, considerations, and benefits of using multiple RUs for a single Station (STA). Understand the implications, constraints, and potential enhancements for efficient spectrum allocation and improved user experience in wireless communication networks.

  1. January 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0108 Multi-RU support for OFDMA Date: 2020-01-10 Authors: Name Sigurd Schelstraete Affiliations Address Phone email Sigurd.Schelstraete@onsemi.com Huizhao.Wang@onsemi.com Huizhao Wang 1704 Automation Pkwy San Jose, CA 95131 USA Quantenna/ON Semiconductor Debashis.Dash@onsemi.com Debashis Dash Abhishek.Agrawal@onsemi.com Abhishek Agrawal Submission Slide 1 Sigurd Schelstraete, Quantenna/ON

  2. January 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0108 Introduction It has been agreed in principle to support multiple RUs for a single STA in 11be Open questions: How many simultaneous RUs? Any restrictions on the combination of RUs? Any restrictions on the locations of the RUs? Submission Slide 2 Sigurd Schelstraete, Quantenna/ON

  3. January 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0108 Use cases There are several use cases for support of multiple RUs: Non-OFDMA Motivation: Use OFDMA with multiple RUs assigned to one STA as an implementation of preamble puncturing for SU OFDMA Motivation: Increased efficiency More equitable spectrum assignment for multiple users Submission Slide 3 Sigurd Schelstraete, Quantenna/ON

  4. January 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0108 Preamble puncturing Sometime called non-OFDMA Still uses OFDMA format, but all RUs assigned to the same user Essentially an implementation of preamble puncturing for single user Specific constraints linked to preamble puncturing: Remove a sizeable ( 20 MHz) part of the spectrum from transmission Coarse granularity of RUs Mostly concerned with large RUs sizes Submission Slide 4 Sigurd Schelstraete, Quantenna/ON

  5. January 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0108 OFDMA considerations Considerations for (true) OFDMA may be different This submission will focus on the OFDMA case One observation is that the current single-RU structure is mostly optimized for 2, 4, 8, 16 users (assuming equal rates) 11ax RU allocation is inflexible and sometimes inefficient for other cases Multi-RU support could allow more efficient support for other values of the number of users See examples on next slides Submission Slide 5 Sigurd Schelstraete, Quantenna/ON

  13. January 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0108 Conclusions Multi-RU support provides more flexibility in equitable distribution of spectrum for any number of users Efficiency depends on number of RUs allocated per user Submission Slide 13 Sigurd Schelstraete, Quantenna/ON

  14. January 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0108 Contiguous vs. non-contiguous RUs It is preferred to have one encoder per user and distribute the codes bits over the RUs Modulating/demodulating the bits is not made more complex by RUs being contiguous or not However, channel feedback is provided in contiguous blocks Large gaps between RUs will lead to inefficiencies there Small gaps won t have much impact Contiguous allocation is not a must from implementation complexity point of view, but having multiple RUs in tight clusters is preferred for cases with precoding Submission Slide 14 Sigurd Schelstraete, Quantenna/ON

  15. January 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0108 How many RUs?
