  3. November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1314r2 Abstract In-phase (I) and Quadrature (Q) imbalance is a common RF impairment in wireless devices.

  4. November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1314r2 Background In OFDMA systems, transmitting a signal over a resource unit (RU) allocated on one side of the DC tone will create interference on the RU at the image side of the DC tone due to I/Q imbalances at Tx and/or Rx RF [1] The impact of interference depends on the level of the I/Q mismatch and relative power of the signals on the two image RUs at the receiver.

  13. November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1314r2 Observations I/Q imbalance at the transmitter of a STA allocated on a RUx could cause significant performance degradation to another STA s signal allocated on the image of RUx, especially for signals with higher order modulation The larger the received power difference between the two STAs signals, the more degradation can be observed at weaker received signals. Assuming the same Tx power from STAs, a large received power difference at AP can occur with certain probability (Appendix). The results with dP = 0dB can be used for downlink performance evaluation. In the OBSS scenario, the image interference could also cause performance degradation in both UL and DL directions. Submission Slide 13 Interdigital Communications

  14. November 2015 doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1314r2 Conclusion To mitigate the image interference due to I/Q impairments, accurate power control in uplink may be necessary. Other solutions may also be feasible, for example, Properly allocating resources among different users [5] Setting a maximum I/Q imbalance requirement To understand other potential impacts, it may be beneficial to include I/Q imbalance settings in evaluation methodology document Submission Slide 14 Interdigital Communications
