2. doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0161r1 Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1032r0 Introduction-1 OBSS issue cannot be ignored because 11ac is most likely to use 80MHz band as well as MU-MIMO technology [1][2]. Combination of other technologies with MU-MIMO or modification of MU-MIMO for isolated BSS may enhance robustness for OBSS [3][4]. In this presentation, possible evaluation scenario for OBSS in home network is presented. It may cover most elements of OBSS issue in home network scenario.

3. doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0161r1 Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1032r0 Introduction-2 In FR&EM, there is a following statement. –It is encouraged that TGac technology proposals describe its impact on OBSS. In the last meeting, TGac agrees on the following statement by Strawpoll. –OBSS investigations should be comparable, so the OBSS Note in 09/451 should propose studying OBSS via the Enterprise Simulation Scenario, with the original BSS copy/pasted to (20,40) and (-20,-40) –Y34, N0, A30 OBSS in enterprise scenario has been continuously discussed. Our measurement results clarify that more than two overlaps is likely to happen [5]. Simulation scenario for Home Network should be addressed also. Slide 3 September 2009 Yasushi Takatori (NTT)

8. doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/0161r1 Submission doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1032r0 Summary Two OBSSs scenario might be sufficient to evaluate performances in home network because ‘Home Entertainment scenario’ itself is already complicated. The followings are key features of the proposed model. –11n and 11ac are considered for two overlapping BSSs. –Room walls insertion enables evaluation of hidden nodes. Future work clarifies important channel characteristics such as DOAs in OBSS. We think that home network simulation scenario should be included in Functional Requirement and Evaluation Methodology document. Slide 8 September 2009 Yasushi Takatori (NTT)
