Outline(1) This Proposal gives the analysis and the part of simulation results around the receiver within the OQPSK + MSK tech. It includes A) Proposes a preamble structure for 15.4b PHY, taking into account the possible needs for the operations of AGC, frame detection, time & frequency synchronization, and channel estimation, etc.

Outline (2) B ) Receiver Performance with OQPSK + E16 orthogonal code(MSK) and OQPSK+G16 COBI code are made based on simulations, including: –Synchronization performance comparison: Auto-correlation characteristics with or without modulation Synchronization performance in the presence of frequency offset –System performances without RAKE: Receiver performance comparison based on our simulation results

5. Nov 2004 doc:IEEE802.15-04-0628-01-004b Slide 5 Submission Liang Li, WXZJ Inc. Assumptions The proposed preamble structure is based upon the 15.4 experiences and the following assumptions & estimations: O-QPSK modulation Proposed E16 orthogonal code (4 bits/symbol) 6 symbol time allocated for AGC operation (based on 15.4 receiver sensitivity & dynamic range) Remaining 6 symbol time for operations of frame detection, synchronization, and channel estimation, etc. The estimated time needed for each operation is relatively conservative, and some margin is included.

Auto-correlation of un-modulated G16 and E16 Auto-correlations of G16 [0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1] and E16 [0 0 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 1 0 0] In this test, auto- correlations are calculated directly, using the un-modulated G16 and E16 spreading sequence for sync of preamble.

Auto-correlation of modulated G16 and E16 In this test, both G16 and E16 spreading sequences are first OQPSK modulated with half-sine pulse shaping, and then the correlations are calculated. Auto-correlation of modulated G16 and E16

8. Nov 2004 doc:IEEE802.15-04-0628-01-004b Slide 8 Submission Liang Li, WXZJ Inc. About auto-correlation characteristics The auto-correlation characteristics can have a great impact on system synchronization performance. E16 code has the auto-correlation characteristics similar to that of G16 when they are not modulated. With O-QPSK modulation, E16 shows noticeable better characteristics.

12. Nov 2004 doc:IEEE802.15-04-0628-01-004b Slide 12 Submission Liang Li, WXZJ Inc. Observations At reasonable multipath delay spread ( rms =50~250ns), the (without RAKE) receiver of OQPSK + G16 and +MSK +E16 show very similar error-rate performance. Here, the proved tech (half-sine pulse shaping, 2M over-sampling) with 0db PAR being used and cost of chip is more reasonable to be estimated. Under the longer delay (600ns), the proven tech is not good enough. However, the model for such a delay may be not reasonable. The PSD and PAR plots (within OQPSK+MSK(E16) would be provided later. There are still improve space with OQPSK and the better code.
