3. doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/0440r1 Submission July 2013 Abstract This document is to propose a MAC protocol amendment to support dynamic channel transfer procedure for 802.11aj (60GHz) This contribution has been discussed in CWPAN group Slide 3Jiamin Chen, Huawei

4. doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/0440r1 Submission July 2013 Background(1/2) Proposed Channelization for 60GHz bands for 802.11aj –There are 6 logical channels: 2 bands with 2.16GHz bandwidth (Channel 2 & 3), 4 bands with 1.08GHz bandwidth (Channel 5, 6, 7, 8); –Supporting more than 3 logical channels for 802.11aj and keeping the backward compatibility with 802.11ad device ； 4 Channelization for 60GHz bands in China Jiamin Chen, Huawei

5. doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/0440r1 Submission July 2013 Background(2/2) Regulations that apply to the 60GHz band in China require RLANs operating in the Chinese 60 GHz band to use channel with 1.08GHz or 2.16GHz bandwidth, which requires a mechanism to coordinate the allocation of operating channel. This document propose a mechanism referred to as Dynamic Channel Transfer (DCT). This mechanism can improve the flexibility and channel utilization efficiency when networking on Chinese 60Ghz frequency band, in case that the existing idle channel can not satisfy the networking requirement for 802.11aj devices..

6. doc.: IEEE 802.11-13/0440r1 Submission July 2013 Dynamic Channel Transfer(DCT) procedure for IEEE 802.11aj(1/4) Some cases (Case 1 to Case 3): A new STA may request an existing BSS to move to another available channel to allow the new 802.11aj STAs to establish a new BSS. Slide 6 Case 1 (Channel 6, 8 are occupied by existing BSS-1 and BSS-2 at 1.08GHz) –New STA (to become PCP/AP-3) wants to start a new BSS- 3 at 2.16GHz. –PCP/AP-3 request BSS-1 on channel 6 to move to channel 7, or request BSS-2 on channel 8 to move to channel 5. –PCP/AP-1 or PCP/AP-2 shall assess the request against its capabilities and the impact on its BSS’s performance. –PCP/AP-1 or PCP/AP-2 may refuse the request for some reasons such as their BSS are busy and so on. –If the request is confirmed, PCP/AP-3 may have a chance to use channel 2 or channel 3(2.16GHz) to start a new BSS. Case 2 / 3 are similar to Case 1 Jiamin Chen, Huawei
