Nov 2019 doc.: IEEE 802.11-19/1582r2 Introduction Multiple APs in vicinity of each other can coordinate and share between themselves their time/frequency resource within a TXOP Frequency resource sharing i.e., CAP (Coordinated AP) OFDMA is a procedure wherein an AP that wins the medium access partitions its entire frequency resource and shares the smaller frequency chunks with its neighbor APs for the duration of the TXOP Time resource sharing i.e., CAP TDMA is a procedure wherein an AP that wins the medium access partitions the duration of TXOP and shares its entire frequency resource for the small TXOP duration chunks with its neighbor APs Intuitive gains: worst case-latency improvement; throughput fairness Outline Concept introduction Assumptions Transmission sequence Submission Slide 2 Lochan Verma (Qualcomm), et. al.,
Nov 2019 doc.: IEEE 802.11-19/1582r2 Introduction: CAP OFDMA Compared to EDCA, in CAP OFDMA the TXOP Owner (AP that wins the medium access) shares smaller frequency resource chunks with other APs for the entire TXOP duration within the TXOP E.g., below shows 4 APs, each with 80MHz BW Time EDCA AP1,AP2,AP3,AP4 transmissions maintain orthogonality CAP OFDMA AP1 AP2 AP3 AP4 TXOP TXOP Frequency 80MHz 20MHz Submission Slide 3 Lochan Verma (Qualcomm), et. al.,
