Improving Padding Efficiency in HE SU PPDU with BCC

IEEE 802.11-16/0080r2 proposes a method to enhance padding efficiency in High Efficiency Spatially Multiplexed (HE SU) PPDU with Block Concatenation Coding (BCC) in 20MHz transmission. By adjusting the duration of the last OFDM symbol based on the excess information bits, this method aims to reduce throughput padding inefficiency. It focuses on optimizing the use of 1x, 2x, and 4x HE-LTF while maintaining simplicity and compatibility with LDPC codewords. The approach involves careful consideration of PSDU_LENGTH calculation rules and efficient allocation of resources for different packet sizes.

1. January 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0080r2 1x/2x/4x OFDM Symbol in HE SU PPDU with BCC Date: 2016-01-18 Authors: Name Affiliations Yeungnam Univ.

2. January 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0080r2 Background PHY padding and signal extension were included in SFD [1]. The pre-FEC padding, post-FEC padding and packet extension methods were included. Both pre-FEC and post-FEC padding bits fill up the last OFDM symbol with 12.8us (4x) duration. For packets with LDPC, the existing method looks a reasonable approach. By adjusting the duration of the last OFDM symbol, e.g., 1x, 2x, and 4x OFDM symbol, the padding inefficiency in terms of throughput can be reduced.

3. January 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0080r2 Padding Efficiency Information bits need to be in units of NDBPS. 4x more tones in 11ax result in 4x larger NDBPS. Short packets (such as TCP/IP ACK) suffer the most. Quick SU transmissions from STAs suffer the most. In case of MU, it is possible to use smaller RU allocation and multiplex with other packets to reduce down the overall overhead inefficiency. Therefore, we focus on improving padding efficiency in HE SU PPDU and with 20MHz transmission. Short packets will not typically require larger transmission BW such as 40/80/160MHz.

4. January 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0080r2 Proposed Method Identical to 1x, 2x, and 4x HE-LTF, the duration of the last OFDM symbol is adjusted depending on the number of information bits (Excess information bits) in the last OFDM symbol. Limit the use of 1x/2x/4x last OFDM symbol to 20MHz SU transmission. Focus on resolving the biggest padding inefficiency. No changes to the packet padding and packet extension operations in [5]. Further limit the use of 1x/2x/4x OFDM symbol to BCC. Small size packets have smaller gain with LDPC. Do not need special processing for LDPC codeword size matching (i.e. puncturing/repetition). Simpler design. Submission Slide 4 Heejung Yu, Yeungnam Univ./NEWRACOM

8. January 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0080r2 OFDM modulation Cases of NSD,4x Normal operation as in other OFDM symbols Cases of NSD,2x The even tones(2k, k= 1, 2, 3, ) are used. The output of IDFT has two repeated waveform. The first half is transmitted. Cases of NSD,1x The every 4th tones(4k, k= 1, 2, 3, ) are used. The output of IDFT has 4 repeated waveform. The first half is transmitted. Submission Slide 8 Heejung Yu, Yeungnam Univ./NEWRACOM

9. January 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0080r2 The strong points Our proposal, support of 1x/2x/4x OFDM symbol, targets small payload transmissions in OFDM transmissions. (20MHz with BCC) In 2.4GHz operations, 20MHz OFDM transmissions are useful due to channel assignment and legacy operations. Direct link operations We reduce amount of EOF padding performed and transmit air-time. In a STBC case, we can reduce the symbol duration of last two OFDM symbols.

10. January 2016 doc.: IEEE 802.11-16/0080r2 Conclusion By exploiting the repeated waveform in 1x, 2x symbol duration cases, we can achieve throughput gain as shown in [3]. The proposed method can be applied to 20MHz BCC OFDM packet transmission where the existing method may not be effective in terms of padding efficiency (or throughput).

For HE SU-OFDM packets using BCC in 20MHz bandwidth, the symbol duration of 3.2us, 6.4us and 12.8us (without CP) in the last mSTBC OFDM symbols is optionally supported depending on the number of data bits. Details are TBD. Submission Slide 11 Heejung Yu, Yeungnam Univ./NEWRACOM
