802.11ac Technical Issues (2)
SDMA (Multi-User MIMO for WLAN)• SDMA allows simultaneous
transmission to multiple users.– 11n allows transmission to
one user at a time.• SDMA has the following
advantages:– Increase network throughput
by adding antennas at the AP– Reduce client antenna
requirements for low cost clients.
– Increase per-client throughput by adding antennas at client (MIMO) and/or higher BW
• In 802.11ac, only DL(downlink) MU-MIMO is allowed (not UL MU-MIMO).
ETRI
802.11ac Technical Issues (3)
Explicit & “Compressed V” BF For single user and multi-user as well Only agreed mode to support beamforming for 802.11ac Transmission of a set of angle information of V matrix using “Givens
rotation” angles (φ’s) and “Realization” angles (ψ’s)• SU-MIMO : Qk = Vk
• MU-MIMO : Qk can be calculated by using and perhaps combining Vk
and SNRs from Bfees to suppress crosstalk between participating BFees
FB angles for 4 TX antennas (e.g.)
ETRI
802.11ac Technical Issues (3)
Explicit & “Compressed V” BF (2) Average SNR of stream i of matrix V
• Averaged SNR for stream i
Delta SNR is additionally required for 802.11ac MU-MIMO BF• Delta SNR is deviation in dB of per-tone SNR relative to average SNR
Tone grouping/interpolation and BF segmentation are used VHT Sounding protocol using NDP (Null Data Packet)
ETRI
802.11ac Technical Issues (4)
Contiguous/Non-Contiguous 160 MHz• Contiguous 160 MHz
Transmitted signal consists of a single contiguous frequency spectrum with 160 MHz bandwidth
• Non-contiguous 160 MHz Transmitted signal consists of two frequency segments,
each 80 MHz wide Limit to two non-contiguous segments for reasonable
tradeoff between complexity and flexibility

802.11ac Technical Issues (5)
Dynamic Bandwidth Operation Dynamic BW: 20/40/80 MHz
• If 80 MHz is free, transmit using 80 MHz, else• If 40 MHz (including primary) is free, transmit using 40 MHz, else• If the secondary channel is not free, data is transmitted over the primary
channel. Static BW: 0/80MHz
• If at least one of the secondary channels is busy, the transmitter restarts the backoff procedure over the primary channel without incrementing the retry counter.
Bandwidth & Static/Dynamic indications are needed in non-HT PPDUs• Those information is indicated at scrambler seed in every corresponding PPDU.
ETRI
802.11ac Technical Issues (5)
Dynamic Bandwidth Operation (2) Both initiator and responder are capable of dynamic BW
operation• RTS is transmitted on channels that are sensed free at the initiator • CTS response is only sent on channels that are occupied by the
RTS and are determined to be free at the responder (a valid PHY mode is used, meaning only 20/40/80/80+80/160MHz transmissions allowed)
• RTS/CTS frames carry the available bandwidth information• Initiator transmits data only over channels indicated free by CTS
response
ETRI
802.11ac Technical Issues (6)
CCA (Clear Channel Assessment) As in 11n, the main mechanism for coexistence with non-802.11
devices is clear channel assessment (CCA). Similarly stringent to any signals (non-OFDM) for primary 20MHz
channel, secondary 20/40/80 MHz channels (energy detection with -62 ~ -56 dBm)
Similarly stringent to WLAN signals for primary 20/40 MHz channels (preamble detection with a threshold of -82 ~ -79 dBm)
CCA level table is expanded to cover 80/160MHz usage More stringent to NON_HT, HT_MF, HT_GF or VHT format signals for
secondary 20/40 MHz channel (with the threshold of -72~ -69 dBm, compared to -62 ~ -59 dBm level in 802.11n)
More stringent secondary CCA level is suggested in 802.11ac to reduce overlapping BSS effect due to wider bandwidth usage.

MCS 0-7 – same as 802.11n, support mandatory 8 and 9 – 256-QAM ¾, 256-QAM 5/6 – optional
Single, unified frame format for both SU and MU
