Positioning Considerations in IEEE 802.11bd for Vehicular Communication
Discussing the implications of IEEE 802.11mc and 802.11az improvements on Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) protocol for positioning in high mobility environments, particularly focusing on V2X communications and vehicle speeds up to 250 km/h. The document addresses positioning modes, interoperability, coexistence, and backward compatibility with existing devices. Various use cases such as Vehicular Positioning & Location, Train-to-Train, and Vehicle-to-Train are explored.

Mar 2019 doc.: IEEE 802.11-19/0365r0 Abstract 802.11mc contains Fine Timing Measurement (FTM) Protocol for round trip ranging and positioning. 802.11az proposes some improvements on FTM such as NDP SU/MU ranging, trigger based ranging, AOA/AOD measurements, What are the implications for 802.11bd positioning mode? This is a discussion document so feedback highly welcome. Submission Slide 2 Stephan Sand, German Aerospace Center (DLR)
Mar 2019 doc.: IEEE 802.11-19/0365r0 Introduction PAR [1]: This amendment defines at least one mode that achieves at least 2 times higher throughput in high mobility channel environments at vehicle speeds up to 250 km/h (closing speeds up to 500 km/h); this amendment defines procedures for at least one form of positioning in conjunction with V2X communications This amendment shall provide interoperability, coexistence, backward compatibility, and fairness with deployed OCB (Outside the Context of a BSS) devices. Use Case (UC) baseline document [2]: UC5 Vehicular Positioning & Location UC8 Train-to-Train UC9 Vehicle-to-Train Submission Slide 3 Stephan Sand, German Aerospace Center (DLR)

Mar 2019 doc.: IEEE 802.11-19/0365r0 Discussion 5.9 GHz mode: V2X (X=V,I,P,T) ranging? Limits of round-trip ranging for high mobility? One way ranging useful? Multi-antenna approaches? Bandwidth and aSIFSTime? 802.11az features [5]? Quality indicators for higher layer(data fusion: Channel impulse response, clock parameters, etc.? Can we reuse existing messages or do we need dedicated 11bd ranging message? Simulation and channel models [6]? 60 GHz mode: ranging mode (large bandwidth high ranging accuracy)?
