Mapping Spatial Streams to Multiple Antennas Number of spatial streams = Number of TX antennas
■ Direct map 1 spatial stream to 1 antenna■ Spatial division multiplexing■ Equal rates on all spatial streams
Number of spatial streams ≤ Number of TX antennas■ Each spatial stream mapped to all transmit antennas■ Optional transmit beamforming
• Optimal technique for realizing array and diversity gains• Requires channel state info at the TX• Supports unequal rates on different spatial streams
■ Optional orthogonal spatial spreading• Exploits all transmit antennas• No channel state info at TX required
■ Due to per spatial stream training, no change is needed at the RX to support optional techniques

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

MIMO AGC
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

Implication of using WWiSE preambles Legacy devices with a cross-correlation RX will not
correctly decode a WWiSE preamble Hence, such legacy devices will not defer to a
WWiSE HT transmission, potentially creating collisions in the BSS
■ BSS throughput would drop, and latency would increase WWiSE preamble is not legacy compatible Lab test reinforces TGn Sync’s decision to use a
100% backwards compatible legacy preamble

2 vs 4 pilots in MIMO■ The TGn Sync Proposal uses the full 4 pilots (like .11a/b/g)
• 2 pilots in WWiSE provide marginal data rate increase: < 4%■ Full CC67 sims to compare multi- and single-stream cases:
• Since data also will have diversity gain, and thus require less operating SNR, would the pilots now limit performance?
• Single stream modes important: CDD (TGn Sync) , STBC (WWiSE)■ Analysis must consider differences in 11n vs. 11a:
• Different preambles, antenna configurations• Decoded data SNR improved due to MIMO (e.g, MRC, STBC)• Thus pilot accuracy requirements also increase• Comparing 11n pilot SNR to 11a is thus not sufficient
■ Robustness to narrowband interference and impairments• These both reduce effective number of pilots – thus need margin

Summary of 2 vs 4 pilots Quantitative analyses show that using only 2 pilots
causes significant performance degradation in many situations
■ 4 vs 2 pilots compared for 2x2 basic MIMO channel E• Dual stream: ~1dB loss• Single stream: 1.5~3.5dB loss.
■ Robustness• Performance loss w/ narrow-band interference or impairments:
– 4 ~ 6dB loss with 2 pilots -> NOT ROBUST !!
Performance penalty of using only 2 pilots is not justified by the less than 4% data rate increase

Importance of Rate Feedback and Stream Control
Throughput is maximized if there is rapid convergence to a good choice of stream count and MCS
■ Initial MCS/stream selection ■ Ongoing tracking and optimization
Receiver determines its preferred stream count and MCS■ Based on observation of received HT-LTF in sounding packet■ Sends this choice back to transmitter using MCS Feedback (MFB)
Transmitter makes a rate choice based on the MCS selection at RX
■ Under some circumstances, e.g. pairwise spoofing, TX must adhere to MFB
Important for Basic MIMO, Spatial Spreading and Beamforming

Why smoothing is bad for MIMO BF? Smoothing requires high adjacent tone coherence However, we must estimate the combined channel
Heffective = Hchannel * Vbeamforming■ Beamforming matrix has poor adjacent tone coherence
Why?■ Eigen-channel rank reversals
• For each tone, eigen-channels are ranked by singular values• Eigen-channels can reverse ranks on adjacent tones – resulting in
an adjacent tone swap of corresponding columns of BF matrix• Result – very low adjacent tone coherence

Channel Selection Support 20/40 MHz and 20 MHz operating modes of
whole BSS In 20/40 MHz mode, all legacy PPDUs are 20 MHz, all
HT PPDUs exchanged between HT STA are either 40 MHz or 20 MHz depending on operating mode and STA capability
Channel selection constraints■ Partial overlap between HT systems is not allowed■ Legacy STAs are only allowed in the control sub-channel except
in 20 MHz-base managed mixed mode An HT AP responds to changes in environment to
maintain channel selection constraints
