1 HE Trigger Frame Format
July 2015 doc.: IEEE /0851r0 July 2015 HE Trigger Frame Format Date: Authors: John Son, WILUS Institute John Son, WILUS Institute

2 Introduction TGax adopted UL MU sequence as follows [1]
July 2015 doc.: IEEE /0851r0 July 2015 Introduction TGax adopted UL MU sequence as follows [1] An UL MU PPDU (MU-MIMO or OFDMA) is sent as an immediate response (IFS TBD) to a Trigger frame (format TBD) sent by the AP. [MAC Motion #3, March 2015] Trigger frame format should be chosen under the following criteria Signaling Overhead (amount of airtime it consumes) Robust Decoding of Trigger frame (under OBSS interferences or Outdoor environment) Protection of UL MU Data reception (against AP-side hidden nodes) Protection of DL M-STA BA reception (against STA-side hidden nodes) John Son, WILUS Institute John Son, WILUS Institute

3 Protection of UL MU Data reception
July 2015 doc.: IEEE /0851r0 July 2015 Introduction Signaling Overhead M-STA BA Max duration DL Trigger (format TBD) xIFS UL MU Data SIFS DL M-STA BA 20/40/80/160 MHz OBSS Interferences Protection of UL MU Data reception Protection of DL M-STA BA reception (upto possible max duration) Possible HE Trigger Frame Formats NDP(Null Data Packet) format: DL MU related signaling design (SIG-A/B) is reused for UL MU signaling (Trigger) as well MAC frame format: define a new control frame type called Trigger, can be sent with any PPDU format Assumptions in this slide Additional RTS-CTS negotiations before Trigger frame may be defined in 11ax, but not considered in this slide. Legacy(11a/n/ac) STAs will treat HE PPDU as non-HT PPDU. L-SIG’s L_LENGTH/L_RATE fields is used to indicate HE PPDU length. (similar to 11ac design) HE PPDU can be decoded by STAs in outdoor environments. John Son, WILUS Institute John Son, WILUS Institute

4 Option 1. NDP Trigger frame
July 2015 doc.: IEEE /0851r0 July 2015 Option 1. NDP Trigger frame M-STA BA Max duration L-Preamble HE- Preamble (64FFT) (Trigger Info) XIFS L-Preamble HE- Preamble (64&256FFT) UL MU Data SIFS DL M-STA BA 40MHz Dup. L-Preamble Dup. L-Preamble OBSS Interferences AP-side hidden nodes H1 HE STA HE Preamble Duration ? (Trigger) L1 Leg STA L-SIG (Trigger) EIFS collision NAV setting H2 HE STA STA-side hidden nodes HE Preamble Duration ? (UL MU Data) L2 Leg STA L-SIG Length (UL MU Data) EIFS Trigger frame is sent as HE NDP format HE-SIG-A/B contains UL MU resource allocation information for UL STAs If TXOP duration info is contained in SIG-A/B, it can secure TXOP of further sequences from HE STAs Signaling Overhead Very low with L-Preamble & HE-SIG-A/B only Robust Decoding of Trigger Frame Robust decoding from outdoor STAs Decoding under secondary channels’ OBSS interferences depends on SIG-B design [2] Protection of UL MU Data reception If TXOP duration is in SIG-A/B, AP-side HE hidden node(H1) can set NAV AP-side Legacy hidden node(L1) may interfere to UL MU Data reception at AP Protection of DL M-STA BA reception If TXOP duration is in SIG-A/B, STA-side HE hidden node(H2) can set NAV STA-side Legacy hidden node(L2) may interfere to DL M-STA BA reception at UL STA STA Legacy AP STA L2 STA-side hidden nodes H2 HE L1 H1 Legacy HE AP-side hidden nodes John Son, WILUS Institute John Son, WILUS Institute

5 Option 2. MAC Trigger frame (11ax PPDU)
July 2015 doc.: IEEE /0851r0 July 2015 Option 2. MAC Trigger frame (11ax PPDU) M-STA BA Max duration L-Preamble HE- Preamble (64&256FFT) MPDU (Trigger Info) XIFS L-Preamble HE- Preamble (64&256FFT) UL MU Data SIFS DL M-STA BA 40MHz L-Preamble L-Preamble OBSS Interferences AP-side hidden nodes H1 HE STA MAC Duration (Trigger) L1 Leg STA L-SIG Length (Trigger) EIFS collision NAV setting H2 HE STA STA-side hidden nodes L-SIG Length (UL OFDMA) DIFS (EIFS?) L2 Leg STA L-SIG Length (UL OFDMA) EIFS Trigger frame is sent as MAC frame in 11ax PPDU format MPDU contains UL MU information (field details are TBD) Signaling Overhead Low, can be sent using wide channels and/or high MCS Robust Decoding of Trigger Frame Robust decoding from outdoor STAs May not be decodable under secondary channels’ OBSS interferences (dependent on Trigger’s MPDU design) Protection of UL MU Data reception AP-side HE hidden node(H1) can set NAV using MAC Duration field in Trigger AP-side Legacy hidden node(L1) may interfere to UL MU Data reception at AP Protection of DL M-STA BA reception STA-side HE hidden node(H2) may not decode MAC Duration field in UL MU Data, thus may interfere to DL M-STA BA reception STA-side Legacy hidden node(L2) may interfere to DL M-STA BA reception at UL STA John Son, WILUS Institute John Son, WILUS Institute

6 Option 2. MAC Trigger frame (11a PPDU)
July 2015 doc.: IEEE /0851r0 July 2015 Option 2. MAC Trigger frame (11a PPDU) M-STA BA Max duration L-Preamble MPDU (Trigger Info) XIFS L-Preamble HE- Preamble UL MU Data SIFS M-STA BA 40MHz Dup. L-Preamble Dup. MPDU (Trigger Info) Dup. L-Preamble OBSS Interferences AP-side hidden nodes H1 HE STA MAC Duration (Trigger) L1 Leg STA MAC Duration (Trigger) NAV setting H2 HE STA STA-side hidden nodes L-SIG Length (UL OFDMA) DIFS (EIFS?) L2 Leg STA L-SIG Length (UL OFDMA) EIFS Trigger frame is sent as MAC frame in 11a PPDU format (non-HT duplicate) MPDU contains UL MU information (field details are TBD) Signaling Overhead Low to Middle, no HE-Preamble but MPDU is duplicated per 20MHz Robust Decoding of Trigger Frame May not be decodable from outdoor STAs Robust decoding under secondary channels’ OBSS interferences Protection of UL OFDMA Data reception AP-side HE hidden node(H1) & legacy hidden node(L1) can set NAV using MAC Duration field in Trigger Protection of DL M-STA BA reception STA-side HE hidden node(H2) may not decode MAC Duration field in UL MU Data, thus may interfere to DL M-STA BA reception STA-side Legacy hidden node(L2) may interfere to DL M-STA BA reception at UL STA John Son, WILUS Institute John Son, WILUS Institute

7 Trigger Frame Type Comparisons
July 2015 doc.: IEEE /0851r0 July 2015 Trigger Frame Type Comparisons Performance Index \ Trigger Format Opt. 1. NDP format Opt. 2. MAC format sent as 11ax PPDU sent as 11a PPDU Trigger Frame Overhead (airtime) Very Low Low Low~Mid Robust Decoding of Trigger Frame under OBSS interferences @2nd CHs (dep. on SIG-B design) X O under outdoor environments UL MU Data Protection at AP against HE hidden nodes (dep. on SIG-A/B design) against legacy hidden nodes DL M-STA BA Protection at UL STAs NDP Trigger frame Very low overhead, Robust decoding in outdoor Robustness under secondary channels’ interferences and NAV protection for HE/Legacy STAs are very much dependent on SIG-A/B design Thus may act as the limiting factors for designing SIG-A/B MAC Trigger frame Has flexibility to choose PPDU format 11ax PPDU: Low overhead, Robust decoding in outdoor 11a PPDU: Robust decoding under secondary channels’ interferences, NAV protection for HE/Legacy STAs John Son, WILUS Institute John Son, WILUS Institute

8 July 2015 doc.: IEEE /0851r0 July 2015 Summary We propose to choose MAC frame format as the HE Trigger frame format. Flexibility to choose PPDU types for different purposes Pursue independent & optimal design for SIG-A/B(DL MU) and Trigger(UL MU) respectively Among three MAC frame types (Data, Management, and Control), Trigger can be assigned as a new control frame type. Remaining DL M-STA BA Protection Issues Legacy hidden nodes: If DL M-STA BA’s duration exceeds EIFS, it cannot be protected [3] HE hidden nodes: UL MU Data’s MPDU may not be decodable by overhearing HE STAs, therefore MAC duration-based protection is not feasible John Son, WILUS Institute John Son, WILUS Institute
