Spoofing • Spoofing is the use of the legacy RATE and LENGTH fields to keep the legacy STA off the air for a desired period of time • The duration indicated in the L-SIG can exceed the actual duration in the HT-SIG MAC uses this as a protection mechanism • For a HT-PPDU, L-SIG RATE is hard-coded at 6 Mbps • max MSDU length = 2304 Bytes spoofing duration up to ~3 msec Syed Aon Mujtaba, Agere Systems, et. al.
HT PPDU Detection L-STF L-LTF L-SIG HT-SIG • Auto-detection scheme on HT-SIG • Q-BPSK modulation (BPSK w/ 90-deg rotation) • Invert the polarity of the pilot tones • Combined methods provide speed and reliability • Reserved bit in the L-SIG can not be used • Vendors were not given guidance from the 802.11a/g standard to set the reserved bit to a specific value or Legacy DATA L-STF L-LTF L-SIG Legacy Compatible Preamble Syed Aon Mujtaba, Agere Systems, et. al.
MIMO AGC single spatial stream multiple spatial streams L-STF L-LTF L-SIG HT-SIG HT-DATA • Tone interleaving the L-STF leads to perfect decorrelation • if L-STF is tone-interleaved, it will hurt legacy interoperability with cross-correlation RX • Cyclic delay across the L-STF is nearly decorrelated • however, large cyclic delay hurts interoperability with cross-correlation RX • and, small cyclic delay suffers from inaccurate power estimation, as shown next power measurement AGC locked Accurate measurement of MIMO channel power requires uncorrelated STFs Syed Aon Mujtaba, Agere Systems, et. al.
Power Fluctuation of L-STF w.r.t Data Data power Power fluctuation with tone interleaving is within 1dB of the data power 1 0.9 STF = Tone Interleaved STF = Cyclic Delay 0.8 2x2, TGn Channel D SNR = 30dB 0.7 0.6 CDF(x) 0.5 Introduce a dedicated STF for MIMO that is tone interleaved Reduces 1 bit in the ADC cost & power savings 0.4 0.3 0.2 0.1 0 -7 -6 -5 -4 -3 -2 -1 0 1 2 3 x = Power fluctuation of AGC setting w.r.t. data power (dB) Syed Aon Mujtaba, Agere Systems, et. al.
Power Fluctuation of HT-LTF w.r.t. Data Data power 1 0.9 Large deviation of HT-LTF power wrt data power will result in higher channel estimation error HT-LTF = Tone Interleaved 0.8 HT-LTF = Walsh + Cyclic Delay 0.7 2x2, TGn Channel D SNR = 30dB 0.6 CDF(x) 0.5 0.4 0.3 HT-LTF should be tone interleaved 0.2 0.1 0 -10 -8 -6 -4 -2 0 2 4 x = Power fluctuation of HT-LTF w.r.t. data (dB) Syed Aon Mujtaba, Agere Systems, et. al.
Tone Interleaved HT Training Fields • HT-STF • 2nd AGC measurement is used to fine-tune MIMO reception • HT-LTF • Used for MIMO channel estimation • Additional frequency or time alignment Syed Aon Mujtaba, Agere Systems, et. al.
Summary of HT-LTF • Robust design • Tone interleaving reduces power fluctuation • 2 symbols per field • 3dB of channel estimation gain with baseline per-tone estimation • Enables additional frequency offset estimation • Per spatial stream training • HT-LTF and HT-Data undergo same spatial transformation • Number of HT-LTFs = Number of spatial streams Syed Aon Mujtaba, Agere Systems, et. al.
Is 40MHz Mandatory? • Both 20 MHz & 40 MHz capabilities are mandatory • With exceptions due to regulatory requirements • Capability depends on regulatory domain (just like channelization plans): • 20/40 MHz capable devices • 20 MHz only capable devices • Both types of devices are fully interoperable Syed Aon Mujtaba, Agere Systems, et. al.
20/40 MHz Operation Where Used Where Bought Syed Aon Mujtaba, Agere Systems, et. al.
2x2-40 MHz 4x4-20 MHz 2x3-20 MHz w/ short GI 2x2-20 MHz w/ short GI Why 40MHz is Mandatory? • 2x2 – 40 MHz • Only 2 RF chains => Cost effective & low power • Lower SNR at same throughput => Enhanced robustness 260 240 220 200 Sweet spot for 100Mbps top-of-MAC 180 160 140 Over the Air Throughput (Mbps) 120 100 80 Basic MIMO MCS set No impairments 1000 byte packets TGn channel model B 60 40 20 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 SNR (dB) Syed Aon Mujtaba, Agere Systems, et. al.
20/40 MHz Interoperability • 40 MHz PPDU into a 40 MHz receiver • Get 3dB processing gain – duplicate format allows combining the legacy compatible preamble and the HT-SIG in an MRC fashion • 20 MHz PPDU into a 40 MHz receiver • The active 20 MHz sub-channel is detected using energy measurement of the two sub-channels • Inactive tones at the FFT output (i.e. 64 out of 128) are not used • 40 MHz PPDU into a20 MHz receiver • One 20 MHz sub-channel is sufficient to decode the L-SIG and the HT-SIG • 20 MHz RX (either HT or legacy) will defer properly to 40 MHz PPDU • See MAC slides for additional information on 20/40 inter-op Syed Aon Mujtaba, Agere Systems, et. al.

Why introduce TX Beamforming? 1000 byte packets No impairment 20MHz, channel D 4 TX-antenna AP 2 RX-antenna client ~10 dB gain of 4x2-ABF over 2x2-SDM => cost effective client Syed Aon Mujtaba, Agere Systems, et. al.
