doc.: IEEE /0984r0 Submission September 2008 John R. Barr, Motorola, Inc.Slide 2 Abstract Test setup and test procedures to determine impact of n 40MHz channel operation in 2.4 GHz spectrum on Bluetooth (IEEE ) devices sharing the same 2.4 GHz spectrum.

doc.: IEEE /0984r0 Submission September 2008 John R. Barr, Motorola, Inc.Slide 3 Goal Determine the impact of 40MHz n operation on other devices sharing 2.4 GHz spectrum. –Impact shall be measured as the difference in channel access seen by victim devices with and without 40 MHz n operation. –Impact of turning on 40 MHz n operation when victim devices are operating. –The reduction in user’s quality of experience attributed to 40 MHz n operation. –The impact shall be measured as: amount of channel capacity removed for access by victim devices packet error rates experienced deterioration of application level quality deterioration of victim network systems capabilities (e.g., device discovery).

doc.: IEEE /0984r0 Submission September 2008 John R. Barr, Motorola, Inc.Slide 4 Test Cases At least two use cases shall be included in the analysis: –Headset to mobile phone receiving a continuous 1K tone. –A2DP streaming of music from mobile phone to stereo headset. The same headset and phone can be used for each test. For these tests measurement of channel availability, packet error rates, and application level quality will be measured first with the n signal generator turned off and then with the signal generator turned on generating signals with low, medium, and high duty cycles. The Bluetooth link should be configured with and without AFH operation. The mobile phone will be placed 2-3 meters away from the signal generator and the headset will be moved between them to measure potential impact. The headset will be moved to within 2-4 feet of the signal generator as would be seen when user is using mobile phone with headset and working on a laptop using n WLAN access. It will be necessary to move the headset far enough away from the mobile phone to realize typical 75 dB path loss associated with using headset while mobile phone is in your pocket. This can also be done by having user place mobile phone in pocket and wear headset during the test.
