Ultra Low Power Features for Active Devices in IEEE 802.11-24

This presentation discusses ultra low power features for active devices in IEEE 802.11-24, focusing on solutions for RF-harvesting AMP-only and AMP-assisted devices. It covers capabilities requirements, device solutions, and implementations such as constant envelope waveform, control and sensing capabilities, and limited payload for RF energy harvesting devices. The aim is to enable the market for 802.11bp by providing efficient and low-power transmission options.

3. July 2024 doc.: IEEE 802.11-24/1253r0 Recap on Suggested Devices for 802.11bp In [1] 4 solutions were envisioned to enable market for 802.11bp Solution 1: active transmission; Solution 2: close range backscatter with full duplex; Solution 3: long range backscatter with bi-static; Solution 4: legacy 802.11 devices enhanced with AMP features, e.g., extremely low power consumption, energy harvesting capability In [3], two devices were clearly defined: RF-harvesting AMP-only device was defined to be one with <1mW AMP-assisted device with <10-100mW Solution 1-3 from [1] are for RF-harvesting AMP-only device while Solution 4 from [1] is only for AMP-assisted device - as defined in [3] In this presentation we would like to provide some capabilities requirements for Solution 1 for RF-harvesting AMP-only device (active transmission) Submission Slide 3 Amichai Sanderovich, Wiliot

5. July 2024 doc.: IEEE 802.11-24/1253r0 Active Transmission Devices (S1) These devices are expected to work out of RF energy harvesting (zero energy) These devices are expected to fit into a sticker or a tag form factor and cost Some features that enable 802.11bp expectations were discussed [1-3] Clock can be implemented without a crystal - with fast, simple & efficient internal circuits that can reach e.g. 1000ppm Constant envelope transmission is easy to implement using highly efficient non-linear components Limited payload to ID plus some additional sensing and control information Only trigger based traffic (no device originated traffic) Limited message length/types and waveform reception processing capabilities Very simple functionality that requires minimal processing/memory Uplink data rate of few Mbps allows lower energy and longer range for RF harvesting devices Submission Slide 5 Amichai Sanderovich, Wiliot

6. July 2024 doc.: IEEE 802.11-24/1253r0 Recap for 1000ppm Active TX Advantage From [2] For active transmitter AMP-STAs, we would like to reduce the need for a crystal based stable clock with accuracies in the orders of 40ppm Stable crystal-based clocks usually consume non-neglectable power and also take some time to turn on, until reaching stability In addition, they require an external component on top of the silicon chip. Requiring a crystal results in excessive complexity and power consumption, which limits massive deployments with a sticker form factor Depending on exact system design, it is possible to use a simpler, lower power, internal oscilators (see ref. 1-3 in [2]). Such oscilators are usually characterized with lower clock accuracies. However, by using various internal low power calibrations based on temperature and process, they can reach an accuracy of 1000ppm without needing a crystal Submission Slide 6 Amichai Sanderovich, Wiliot
