September 2014 doc.: IEEE 802.11-14/1106r1 Abstract Frame Collision in 11ax scenarios is a severe problem, which is an obstacle to realizing the goals of 11ax. In this contribution, we propose that supporting the use of Frame Collision information will be useful for reducing collisions by management and control in 11ax.

September 2014 doc.: IEEE 802.11-14/1106r1 Background 1/2 Frame Collision is when two (or more) frame signals are transmitted or arrive at the same time Frame Collisions occur when CSMA/CA fails Failure of carrier-sensing ( hidden-terminal ) Failure of avoidance due to identical backoff times Frame Collisions cause performance degradation Interference, frame errors, retransmissions Frame Collisions occur often in 11ax scenarios with many terminals and high transmission rates [1][2] Necessity of collision management in 11ax has been mentioned in TGax [3][4] Submission Slide 3 Peng Shao, NEC Communication Systems, Ltd.
September 2014 doc.: IEEE 802.11-14/1106r1 Background 2/2 Information related to Frame Collision is effective for reducing collisions by management and control Examples: Site Survey, Channel Selection, Association, Rate Control, Power Control, etc. Various forms of Frame Collision information can be obtained Examples: Transmitter side, Receiver side, separate sensor ( sniffer ) Frame Collision Detection (FCD) is needed to provide useful Frame Collision information Submission Slide 4 Peng Shao, NEC Communication Systems, Ltd.
