Background
• P matrix coded HE-LTF was adopted in last meeting [1] – Maximize legacy reuse
• Adding details, we propose HE-LTF sequences for uplink multiuser MIMO
Qinghua Li, Xiaogang Chen, et al.

Submission Slide 10
Problem Statement
• In uplink multiuser MIMO, different UL users have different carrier frequency offsets
• AP may want to estimate the CFOs for demodulating data and mitigating multiuser interference
• For the CFO estimation, per-stream phase offsets at different LTF symbol instants need to be obtained
Qinghua Li, Xiaogang Chen, et al.
September, 2015
doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/0602r6
Submission Slide 11
Proposed Solution
• Assign orthogonal LTF sequences to different streams within the UL MU-MIMO burst
– Exploit frequency domain correlation– Per-stream channel responses can be estimated for each
LTF symbol – CFO can be estimated by checking the phase difference
between the channel estimates obtained at different LTF symbols
• Additional benefit — No need to insert pilot tones in LTF symbols

Generating LTF sequences• Generated from P matrix
– Scramble a common sequence by different rows of P matrix• Piecewise orthogonal
– Sub-sequences with any K (e.g. 4) contiguous entries are orthogonal

Cyclic Orthogonality
• Orthogonal sequences of any length can be generated by exploiting cyclic orthogonality among P matrix rows– E.g. 2 users with 26 tones and K=4

One P matrix for all
• Since the 8×8 P matrix consists of orthogonal 2×2 and 4×4 sub-matrixes, we can use the rows of 8×8 P matrix to define LTF sequences for up to 8 streams

• Stronger stream may leak power to the weaker stream due to non-ideal orthogonality;• The CFO estimation is not impacted too much if the power leakage is within moderate range.

PAPR Issue
• Use fixed point simulation to evaluate if the dynamic range increase in HE-LTF impacts the overall performance (10/6bits quantization is considered);
• The PAPR increase in the masked LTF has marginal impact to the overall performance.– PAPR in the data part is the bottleneck.

Straw Poll 1
• Do you agree to add to TGax Specification Framework Document? – The HE-LTF sequences for UL MU-MIMO shall be generated as follows.
For each stream, a common sequence shall be masked repeatedly in a piece-wise manner by a distinct row of an 8x8 orthogonal matrix. When the length of the LTF sequence is not divisible by 8, the last M elements of the LTF sequence (M being the remainder after the division of LTF length by 8) shall be masked by the first M elements of the orthogonal matrix row.
