September 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17/1376r0 Time-varying Channels and Mid-amble Channel variation is one important feature of channel condition and should be feedback to assist the transmitter for following transmissions. Mid-amble is adopted in 11ax to combat time-varying channel conditions by enabling channel tracking [1-2]. Mid-amble is used to re-estimate or tracking the time-varying channel Mid-amble appears after a fixed duration, for example, a fixed number of symbols. This fixed duration is named as the mid-amble duration, say M symbols. Submission Slide 2 Jianhan Liu, Mediatek, et al
September 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17/1376r0 Dual use of Doppler bit When packet length is larger than the mid-amble duration, Doppler bit is used to indicate if there exist mid-ambles in the packet. The receiver can detect time-variation of channels based on the received packet and mid-ambles. Note a transmitter can transmit a packet with mid-amble without knowing the channel condition just like use of different GIs. When packet length is not larger than the mid-amble duration, then Doppler bit is used as an indication if channel is time varying. (The packet can not contain any mid-amble anyway.) Note in this scenario the receiver is not able to detect time-variation of channels since the received packet is short. In this scenario, it is important for the receiver to get the information of time- varying channel to help its following transmissions. For example, an AP received a PS-poll from a STA, knowing if the channel is time- varying can help AP to configure the following transmissions to the STA.

September 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17/1376r0 Advantages of Using Doppler Bit as an Indication for Short Packets Problems of link adaptation under Doppler condition: HE link adaptation information is carried in HE Variant HT Control field . However, HE Variant HT Control field are not included in all control frames, such as PS-poll, ACK, and BA. Control frames are short packets therefore those control frames can not be used to estimate Doppler condition of the channel. Also, time-varying channel is timely information, unsolicited feedbacks are not prompt. For AMPDU transmission, the immediate BA feedback is very useful for link adaptation for re-transmission when channel are time-varying. Using Doppler bit in HE-SIGA as Doppler indication is a perfect solution for short packets (such as control frames). The Doppler bit is wasted otherwise because the packet does not contain any midable no matter Doppler bit is set to 0 or 1 . The indication is prompt since it is in HE-SIGA: especially for those control frames using HE format. Submission Slide 4 Jianhan Liu, Mediatek, et. al.
September 2017 doc.: IEEE 802.11-17/1376r0 Straw poll #1 Do you agree the dual use of Doppler bit as followings? In an HE SU PPDU, HE ER SU PPDU, or HE MU PPDU, if the Doppler field of HE-SIG-A field is set to 1 and NSYM NMA +1, there is no Midamble present in the current PPDU. In this case, the Doppler field setting to 1 indicates that the current channel between the transmitter and the recipient is with high channel Doppler, and midamble is recommended for the PPDUs of the reverse link.
