Presentation Transcript

  1. ITU DFS/TPC Submission • WRC ’03 has discussions about 5GHz spectrum allocations on the agenda • 802.11 would like to have international rules and allocations that are favorable to RLANs • RLANs are secondary users in the band. Radar systems and satellites are primary. • In preparation for WRC, the ITU is already hearing papers and having discussions The negotiating has already begun! Bill McFarland, Atheros

  2. 802.11 Needs to Prove We Can Share with Radar/Satellite • ETSI/BRAN has already done simulations and submitted studies to ITU meetings – for HIPERLAN/2 • They have invited us to submit similar materials for 802.11a, with them in a single document This is an area in which we are completely aligned with ETSI/BRAN Bill McFarland, Atheros

  3. Draft of ITU Submission Available for Review • Dave Skellern, Niels Erven, and I created a draft submission for 802.11a • It is available on the server in the submissions/regulatory/ as RR-01-026r0_ITU_DFS_Submission.doc • The ITU submission is a joint submission with ETSI/BRAN HIPERLAN/2 • We made the 802.11a sections as similar as possible to the HIPERLAN/2 sections that had already been created Bill McFarland, Atheros

  4. What’s in it? • Overviews of 802.11a and HIPERLAN/2 (background reading for radar engineers) • A description of the DFS measurements and associated control frames for both systems (TGh) • Simulation results of radar detection and avoidance for HIPERLAN/2, done by ETSI/BRAN • A discussion of why 802.11a and HIPERLAN/2 will have similar radar avoidance performance • A recommended set of test signals and procedures to establish that an RLAN can avoid radar (created by BRAN) Many thanks to ETSI/BRAN! Bill McFarland, Atheros

  5. Key Technical Aspects • We need to listen for radar pulses during any gaps in transmission, as well as at network startup • In order to detect the radar quickly enough, the channel must be clear ~20% of the time • Even when far overloaded, channel occupancy saturates at ~80% for DCF/eDCF • In PCF and HCF modes, the AP will need to insure that channel occupancy is <~80% • We have hooks that may be able to improve radar detection performance, but we are holding these in reserve • We want to match, not exceed or lag, HIPERLAN/2’s radar avoidance claims Bill McFarland, Atheros

  6. What’s Next • Vic Hayes will sponsor the document through the regulatory group (and clean up the diagrams) • If you have comments on the document, send them to bill@atheros.com (Remember it is an overview not a specification!) • There will be a vote to submit the revised document to the ITU at the closing plenary Bill McFarland, Atheros
