IEEE 802.11-20/0456r0: Transmission EVM Requirements for 4k QAM

The document discusses the tradeoff between error vector magnitude (EVM) and transmission power in the context of 4k QAM modulation. It explores the EVM requirements for 4k QAM and addresses issues such as channel estimation errors, modulation and coding scheme (MCS) parameters, and degradation with respect to EVM. Various scenarios and channel estimation methods are presented, highlighting the impact on system performance.

2. Mar 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0456r0 Problem Statement 4k QAM boosts the peak data rate but requires high EVMs However, there is a tradeoff between EVM and transmission power In this contribution, we show the EVM requirements for 4k QAM Submission Y. Yoffe, et. al, Intel

3. Mar 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0456r0 Common Usage Scenario 80 MHz channel, fading Channel D 4x2 SU MIMO with 4 Tx antennas, 2 Rx antennas, 2 streams Beamforming applied AP STA Submission Y. Yoffe, et. al, Intel

4. Mar 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0456r0 Tx EVM It includes channel estimation errors and is 3 dB worse than the actual distortion at the transmitter It is modeled as AWGN, which is the worst case EVM due to phase noise can be mostly cancelled by pilot tracking MCS Parameters Highest MCS with 4k QAM and LDPC 5/6 4k bytes per packet, 20 packets per PPDU Submission Y. Yoffe, et. al, Intel

5. Mar 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0456r0 With ideal channel estimation Curve spacing gets smaller and smaller ?

6. Mar 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0456r0 With LTF based channel estimation Curve spacing gets smaller and smaller PER -1 10 MCS13 Tx EVM = -inf, Sensitivity = 38.8 [dB] MCS13 Tx EVM = -36 [dBc], Sensitivity = 39.9 [dB] MCS13 Tx EVM = -37 [dBc], Sensitivity = 39.6 [dB] MCS13 Tx EVM = -38 [dBc], Sensitivity = 39.4 [dB] MCS13 Tx EVM = -39 [dBc], Sensitivity = 39.3 [dB] 37 37.5 38 38.5 SNR [dB] 39 39.5 40 Submission Y.

7. Mar 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0456r0 Degradation vs. EVM Degradation is with respect to no EVM case It gets harder and harder to reduce the degradation as the EVM approaches zero. Namely, each dB of EVM drop produces less and less degradation drop e.g. 0.1-0.2 dB per EVM dB drop. Tx EVM (dBc) Degradation with ideal channel (dB) 1.1 0.9 0.7 0.5 Degradation with estimated channel (dB) 1.1 0.8 0.6 0.5 -36 -37 -38 -39 -38 EVM is a good choice balancing Tx power and distortion Submission Y. Yoffe, et. al, Intel

8. Mar 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0456r0 Phase noise effect with ideal channel estimation Phase noise power is calculated from 10k 200 MHz and normalized with respect to the total power of the other distortions PER -1 10 MCS13 Tx EVM = -inf, Sensitivity = 35.8 [dB] MCS13 Tx EVM = -38 [dBc], Sensitivity = 36.5 [dB], PN=100% MCS13 Tx EVM = -38 [dBc], Sensitivity = 36.5 [dB], PN=75% MCS13 Tx EVM = -38 [dBc], Sensitivity = 36.5 [dB], PN=50% MCS13 Tx EVM = -38 [dBc], Sensitivity = 36.4 [dB], PN=25% 34 34.5 35 35.5 36 36.5 37 SNR [dB] Low frequency phase noises are cancelled by removing the common phase rotation Submission Y.

9. Mar 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0456r0 Conclusion -38 dB Tx EVM is a reasonable choice Degradation is small i.e. about 0.6 dB from the ideal Further EVM reduction may require additional Tx power reduction that shortens the 4k QAM usable range Submission Y. Yoffe, et. al, Intel

10. Mar 2020 doc.: IEEE 802.11-20/0456r0 Straw Poll Do you support -38 dB as the Tx EVM requirement for 11be 4k QAM? Y: N: A: Submission Y. Yoffe, et. al, Intel
