November 2017 doc.: 11-17/1718r0 On the issues with Odd and Even Node Polarity Date: 2017-11-03 Name Affiliation Address Phone Email Rob Sun Huawei Rob.sun@Huawei.com Yan Xin Yan.xin@Huawei.com Edward Au Edward.ks.au@huawei.com Mengyao Ma ma.mengyao@huawei.com Submission Slide 1 Rob Sun, Huawei
November 2017 doc.: 11-17/1718r0 Motivations FB introduces the Odd and Even Node Polarity in [1] which defines the transmission pattern between DNs and CNs in the TDD sub-frames. The benefits are to improve the overall capacity and potentially reduce the interference. However, we found this Odd and Even Node have the scalability and efficiency problem. Sinking Hole Problem (SHP) Uneven Traffic Problem (UTP) Submission Slide 2 Rob Sun, Huawei
November 2017 doc.: 11-17/1718r0 Precursory Assumptions All the DNs and CNs are within the same BSS. Each DN cannot receive multiple streams from different DNs simultaneously. Realistically, Interference Cancellation is a hard problem. Submission Slide 3 Rob Sun, Huawei

November 2017 doc.: 11-17/1718r0 The Sinking Hole Problem (SHP) Due to the Odd and Even Node polarity settings and the inter-node interference, the Link between DN1 and DN2 can not be active during the both first and second time slots (SPs) The SHP only applies to the backhaul links. One possible solution to avoid the sinking hole problem is to dedicate the time slots (SPs) for the link between DN1 and DN2. However, the latency will be noticeable. and the scheduling will be complex. To generalized this problem, the Odd and Even Node polarity scheme cannot scale up in large network.

November 2017 doc.: 11-17/1718r0 Uneven Traffic Problem (UTP) In this case, we are assuming DN0 is the end DN, DN1/DN2 are intermediate DNs, and DN3 is the portal to internet. Also, we assume the Sinking Hole Problem could be solved. We assume today s traffic is uneven in both directions, i.e 80% of traffic are downlink and 20% of traffic are uplink. We will observe the UTP due to the uneven traffic distribution. Rob Sun, Huawei Submission Slide 8

November 2017 doc.: 11-17/1718r0 Potential Solution To UTP Change the rule of Odd and Even polarity setting for DNs links. For instance, the Odd and Even polarity applies ONLY to DN-CN links. The DN-DN links should not follow the Odd and Even polarity settings. Enable each DN to send and receive simultaneously from different sources (new methods/technologies should be introduced).
