April 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17/0595r0 Legacy DMG-CEF for OFDM PHY Legacy 11ad DMG-CEF, [1]: The legacy DMG-CEF field for OFDM PHY is defined in time domain and is based on the Golay sequences similar to the SC PHY; The pulse shaping filter impulse response is defined in the standard, it has almost flat frequency response for in-band subcarriers corresponding to the data and pilots; The maximum frequency response amplitude deviation for the data subcarriers is equal to ~0.8 dB; Figures below show pulse shaping filter time and frequency responses; Submission Slide 3 Intel Corporation
April 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17/0595r0 EDMG-CEF Definition, NCB = 1 In accordance with [2], the EDMG-CEF for 2.16 GHz (NCB = 1) PPDU transmission is defined in frequency domain as follows: EDMG-CEFiSTS-177, 177 = [SeqiSTSleft, 176, 0, 0, 0, SeqiSTSright, 176], iSTS =1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Pilot sequences: SeqiSTSleft,176 and SeqiSTSright,176 are well designed pilot sequences providing low PAPR in time domain after application of IDFT; Each space-time stream iSTS has its own sequence {SeqiSTSleft,176, SeqiSTSright,176}, composing a sequence set; Submission Slide 4 Intel Corporation
April 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17/0595r0 EDMG-CEF Definition, NCB > 1 There are two main approaches to design EDMG-CEF for NCB > 1: Independent sequence design for each NCB factor: 4.32 GHz, NCB = 2: EDMG-CEFiSTS-386, 386 = [SeqiSTSleft, 385, 0, 0, 0, SeqiSTSright, 385] 6.48 GHz, NCB = 3: EDMG-CEFiSTS-596, 596 = [SeqiSTSleft, 595, 0, 0, 0, SeqiSTSright, 595] 8.64 GHz, NCB = 4: EDMG-CEFiSTS-805, 805 = [SeqiSTSleft, 804, 0, 0, 0, SeqiSTSright, 804] iSTS =1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 Modular design based on the EDMG-CEF for NCB = 1, [1]: EDMG-CEFiSTS-386, 386 = [SeqiSTSleft, 3P, SeqiSTSright, 30P, 0, 0, 0, 30P, SeqiSTSleft, 3P, SeqiSTSright]; EDMG-CEFiSTS-596, 596 = [SeqiSTSleft, 3P, SeqiSTSright, 64P, SeqiSTSleft, 0, 0, 0, SeqiSTSright, 64P, SeqiSTSleft, 3P, SeqiSTSright]; EDMG-CEFiSTS-805, 805 = [SeqiSTSleft, 3P, SeqiSTSright, 64P, SeqiSTSleft, 3P, SeqiSTSright, 30P, 0, 0, 0, SeqiSTSleft, 3P, SeqiSTSright, 64P, SeqiSTSleft, 3P, SeqiSTSright, ]; 3P, 30P, and 64P notation defines 3, 30, and 64 pilots accordingly; Submission Slide 5 Intel Corporation
April 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17/0595r0 Sequence Set Design for NCB =1 Design rules: A frequency domain pilot sequence {SeqiSTSleft,176, SeqiSTSright,176}, for the iSTS-th space-time stream, iSTS = 1:NSTS, is defined using { 1, j} alphabet; Comment: this allows simple channel estimation avoiding implementation of division operation; The Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) for each sequence {SeqiSTSleft,176, SeqiSTSright,176} in the set should be less or equal to 3.0 dB; Comment: low PAPR value allows channel estimation in the linear power amplifier regime, this minimizes the non-linear distortion of the resulting channel estimation; All frequency domain pilot sequences {SeqiSTSleft,176, SeqiSTSright,176}, iSTS = 1:NSTS, should be different; Comment: this allows to avoid unintentional beamforming; Submission Slide 6 Intel Corporation
April 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17/0595r0 Sequence Set Construction The sequence set {SeqiSTSleft,176, SeqiSTSright,176}, iSTS = 1:NSTS for MIMO is constructed applying iterative procedure described below. { 1, j} alphabet: AiSTS0 = {+1, +j, +j, -1, -j, +j, -1, +1, -1, +j, +1}, iSTS = 1, 2, , 8; BiSTS0 = {-1, +1, -1, +j, +1, +1, -j, -j, -j, +1, +1} , iSTS = 1, 2, , 8; The iterative procedure for the i-th sequence is defined as follows: AiSTSk = {WiSTSk *AiSTSk-1, BiSTSk-1}; BiSTSk = {WiSTSk *AiSTSk-1, -BiSTSk-1}; where k defines iteration index; To achieve the sequence length for A and B of 176 symbols, one needs to make 4 iterations, i.e. k = 1, 2, , 4, this gives 176 = 16 * 11; The sequences SeqiSTSleft,176, SeqiSTSright,176 are defined as follows: SeqiSTSleft,176 = BiSTS4, SeqiSTSright,176 = AiSTS4; The iteration process starts from the basic sequences AiSTS0 and BiSTS0 defined using Submission Slide 7 Intel Corporation
