Authors:
Leo Montreuil, Broadcom, et. al.
Based on discussions and SP during the March meeting, this revision
includes a proposal for one specific design as follows:
One bit feedback only without high power mode
One N
ss
 value, N
ss
=2
      This proposal seems to be the sweet spot between overhead,
       robustness and the maximum supportable number of users.
We also revised the simulation results in Appendix A and added more
simulation for CW interference in Appendix D.

Revision r4
Leo Montreuil, Broadcom, et. al.
It is well accepted that being able to get a very short
simultaneous feedback from a high number of STAs
(all STAs) improve the 11ax system and power
efficiencies [1], [3]
Many feedbacks require 1 bit: PS-Poll (power efficiency), Channel
Availability (collisions avoidance)
A short simultaneous resource request feedback capable of
supporting a high number of STAs is needed for an efficient UL
MU simultaneous scheduling in addition to the existing (or
enhanced) piggybacked buffer information
Less overhead for resource request feedback than polling method
Low and stable latency for resource request feedback, compared to
possibly high and unpredictable latency with CSMA-CA in dense
environments

Background (1)
Leo Montreuil, Broadcom, et. al.
In Nov. 2016, added subclause 25.5.2.7 to the spec:
25.5.2.7 NDP feedback report procedure
The NDP feedback report is a mechanism for an HE AP to collect short
feedbacks from a very high number of HE STAs, in an efficient manner. The
feedbacks (e.g. resource requests) are sent without data payloads in response to
a Trigger frame. The feedbacks are not for channel sounding. This mechanism
is optional for non-AP STA.
But details of the NDP feedback mechanism are TBD and are needed
to resolve several comments (e.g. 7390)
This contribution propose a signaling technique for the NDP feedback
mechanism that can handle a high number of STAs and is power and
air time efficient

Background (2)
Leo Montreuil, Broadcom, et. al.
UL MU transmission in response to a trigger frame
Use frequency dimension for many small orthogonal allocations
To avoid collisions, assign orthogonal allocations to users
No data payload (NDP), STAs transmit energy on one orthogonal
allocation for feedback
with spreading gain in time domain for PHY robustness
For minimal changes to the current PHY, we propose
to use UL MU NDP simultaneous transmissions in response to a trigger
frame; and
define orthogonal allocations tone sets to multiplex different STAs’
feedbacks
AP and STAs have a prior agreement on tone sets and P-matrix spreading
to use for a given response (no collisions between STA)

Slide 5
How to define the NDP feedback mechanism?
Leo Montreuil, Broadcom, et. al.
Define tone sets that spread a 242RU 
 provides diversity and enables
the AP to estimate AGC value based on HE-STF spread over a 242RU 
For compatibility with 20 MHz only STAs, to minimize degradation
from DC offset and CFO, signaling use tones in each 20 MHz with
indices: [-113:-6, 6:113] 
 simple shifts to support 40/80MHz
Puncture HE-LTF sequence except for tones at indices I
ULf
20 MHz tones used for UL feedback (up to 216 tones) - I
ULf
40 MHz tones used for UL feedback (up to 432 tones)

Same as 80 MHz on lower and upper 80 MHz

Proposed signaling for Short Feedback: I
ULf
 (2 of 3)
Leo Montreuil, Broadcom, et. al.
Complementary tone set are
adjacent
Noise like interference will add
power in both bins, biasing RX
decision toward a “No Response”
instead of a “1” or “0”
Non-coherent CW interference
(not aligned to tone grid) will bias
RX decision toward  a “No
Response” instead of a “1” or “0
Detection at RX does not need a
Channel Estimate
RX detect energy in one tone set
and compare to energy in
complementary tone set
In order to allow multiplexing of multiple users and/or
improved robustness we repeat the punctured HE-LTF
twice and multiply by the 2x2 P-matrix row corresponding
to a specific spatial stream (SS)
The maximum number of users supported per BW is:

Slide 8
Proposed signaling for Short Feedback (3 of 3)
Leo Montreuil, Broadcom, et. al.
Channel estimation is not required for detection
Detection performance is independent of sequence
AP is not required to have prior knowledge of feedback sequence
Signal is robust to interference and channel response
Trivial detection, no adaptive threshold adjustment
C
ompare sum of power between sets of complementary 6 tones
Detection in unaffected by timing offset
With the +/-400 ns timing accuracy and a 120 m radius, there is up to 1.6 us of
timing offset.
A “No response” from STA can be easily detected
A “No response” from a STA could mean STA did not received the query, is out of
range or the AP did not decode properly the feedback response.
In interference prone environments, responses from STAs could be missed. AP can
identify STAs with “No response” and treats them accordingly

P0 = sum(power in b

b = 1
( P0 > K∙P1 )
   
  
 
b = 0
not( P1 > K∙P0 ) & not( P0 > K∙P1 )  
 
No response
False: “1” is received as a “0” or “0” is received as a “1”
Mis: “1” or “0” is received as a “No Response”
For K=3, Probability of False is very low (<10
-6
) for SNR ≥ -2 dB
For K=1, we only have two states.
See Appendix A for simulation results

Slide 10
Example of Detection Algorithm
Leo Montreuil, Broadcom, et. al.
We define an NDP short feedback report mechanism based on 18 tone sets per
20 MHz
Users are multiplexed in the frequency and time using 2x2 P matrix.
The design has the following attributes:
Frequency spreading of tone set and complementary tone set are adjacent;
makes the RX detection insensitive to the Channel frequency response
Detection algorithm is independent of RX level, number of RX antennas
and Sequence
Detection is robust to interference
Feedback response is an affirmative b
n
 = 1 or b
n
 = 0
For SNR ≥ -2 dB and 4 RX antenna, False detection is very low (< 10
-6
)
6 tones sequence PAPR is between 4.26 to 7.78 dB Median is 4.60 dB

Comparison of Proposed Schemes
Leo Montreuil, Broadcom, et. al.
We compare the proposed scheme which we name in the plots M-
OOK (Manchester OOK) with an alternative scheme which we call D-
BPSK
In the D-BPSK all 12 tones are populated, for example for tone set 1
b
0
 = 1 
 T
ones locations: -113,-77,-41,6,42,78 are modulated with +1
b
0
 = 1
 
 
T
ones locations: -112,-76,-40,7,43,79 are modulated with +1
b
0
 = 0 
 T
ones locations: -113,-77,-41,6,42,78 are modulated with +1
b
0
 = 0
 
 
T
ones locations: -112,-76,-40,7,43,79 are modulated with -1
The receiver multiplies adjacent tones by the conjugates to create a decoding
metric:  sum(Y(k)conj(Y(k+1)))>0
Under ideal conditions both schemes perform the same
In practice D-BPSK suffers from:
Timing errors
Interference will bias the decision towards an error
Not easy to detect a “No Response”

  9. May, 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17/0044r4 Design Properties Channel estimation is not required for detection Detection performance is independent of sequence AP is not required to have prior knowledge of feedback sequence Signal is robust to interference and channel response Trivial detection, no adaptive threshold adjustment Compare sum of power between sets of complementary 6 tones Detection in unaffected by timing offset With the +/-400 ns timing accuracy and a 120 m radius, there is up to 1.6 us of timing offset. A No response from STA can be easily detected A No response from a STA could mean STA did not received the query, is out of range or the AP did not decode properly the feedback response. In interference prone environments, responses from STAs could be missed. AP can identify STAs with No response and treats them accordingly Submission Slide 9 Leo Montreuil, Broadcom, et. al.
