In this case, it is difficult for the sink to transmit control signals, ACK or user data to the sources immediately. Vertical blanking interval (VBI) is long enough but not frequently exists while horizontal blanking interval (HBI) is too short but frequently exists. For immediate uplink usage, we want to propose fast uplink channel allocation scheme to use aggregated HBIs. For example, the figure below shows one HBI is not enough for RF switching from TX to RX or RX to TX. (Source) (Sink) Why Fast Uplink Channel Allocation?

In aggregation mode, we aggregate numbers of horizontal blanking intervals (HBI) and active lines (AL). (Before combined AL) (After combined AL) Transmission in video signals

We can use combined HBI for transmitting uplink control/data. Pos : 0 Number of Aggregated Data : 5 HBI OA : E1-E2-E3-E4-E5 Example of Aggregation Mode (1/4)

9. doc.: IEEE 802.15-08-0041-00-003c Submission January 2008 ETRISlide 9 In case, there is one horizontal blanking interval that has auxiliary data. We can also use combined HBI for transmitting uplink control/data. Pos : 0 Number of Aggregated Data : 5 HBI OA : E1-E2-E4-E5-A3 Example of Aggregation Mode (2/4)

10. doc.: IEEE 802.15-08-0041-00-003c Submission January 2008 ETRISlide 10 It is same to last slide but combined HBI comes after combined AL. We can also use combined HBI for transmitting uplink control/data. Pos : 1 Number of Aggregated Data : 5 HBI OA : A3-E1-E2-E4-E5 Example of Aggregation Mode (3/4)

11. doc.: IEEE 802.15-08-0041-00-003c Submission January 2008 ETRISlide 11 In case, there are three horizontal blanking intervals that have auxiliary data. So we can not use combined HBI for transmitting uplink control/data because that is too short. In case of 1080p Pos : 0 Number of Aggregated Data : 5 HBI OA : E1-E4-A2-A3-A5 Example of Aggregation Mode (4/4)

12. doc.: IEEE 802.15-08-0041-00-003c Submission January 2008 ETRISlide 12 Generally, PHY transmits MAC MPDU with Preamble. If we do not aggregate auxiliary data together, we need to transmit 3 PHY frames as shown below. If we do aggregate auxiliary data together, we transmit only one PHY frame as shown below. So the transmission efficiency is increased compared to the case above. Benefit of PHY Transmission Using Aggregation
