Slide 5 80 MHz PHY Simulation 80 MHz PHY simulation was developed based on n 40 MHz To avoid partial overlap with 40 MHz TGn, we chose to use 80 MHz New allocation of data and pilot tones to support 80 MHz –20 MHz n: 52 data tones and 4 pilot tones –40 MHz n: 108 data tones and 6 pilot tones –New 80 MHz: 224 data tones and 10 pilot tones New MCSs for higher PHY data rates –Code rate 7/8, 64 QAM for 4 streams : Gbps –Code rate 3/4, 256 QAM for 4 streams : Gbps

Slide 6 PHY Simulation Overview For comparison purposes, the same TGn channel model was used in the 80 MHz simulator Simulations were run with all the impairments listed in CC67 (comparison criteria) with the exception of the PA –To avoid lengthy simulation time required by TGn PA model over sampling requirement, PA was not included in the simulations –Based on previous work in early days in TGn it is expected that additional 2 dB backoff would be required for 256 QAM Packet size was 3000 bytes SNR of 40 dB was selected for the MAC results to provide an optimistic operating point 800 ns GI was used for the simulations, however 400 ns GI was used to compute the data rate to maximize the throughput

Slide 13 Conclusions Even with the PHY and MAC optimizations, 4x4 will not reliably achieve 1Gbps MAC throughput To achieve 1 Gbps MAC throughput required –40 dB SNR –5 antennas –510 Kbytes aggregate The study group has two choices –Lower the throughput number in the below 6 GHz scope –Clarify in the below 6 GHz scope that 1 Gbps MAC throughput is optional in a device
