Introduction
• More than 1 GBps throughput with multiple STAs and more than 500Mbps throughput for each STA are required in 11ac.
• Following new technologies are likely to be used
– Higher order MIMO (> 4x4)
– Spatial Division Multiple Access (SDMA) with more than 4 AP antennas
– Larger Bandwidth (80 MHz mode)
– Multi frequency channel • Use multiple 20 MHz channels across multiple users.
• Increase in the number of APs / STAs is expected.

BackgroundGiga-bit wired network is proliferating. Giga-bit wireless access is very attractive for both the very high data rate services such as IP-TV.Efficient aggregation function is attractive for low data rate services also such as VoIP services.

11ac is expected to cover from low data rate services to very high data rate services.
Further increase in the throughput might be expected.

OBSS in 802.11ac
OBSS scenario is more likely to happen in 11ac compared to 11n due to limited . We think addressing OBSS issue in TGac is important because it
highly relates to the spatial domain control.
Example: Excessive NAV setting might affect throughput in the adjacent BSS.

Possible Simulation Scenario
• Example of Evaluation Conditions– Number of APs = 2
• Case 0: AP1:11n, AP2:11n• Case 1: AP1:11ac, AP2: 11n• Case 2: AP1: 11ac, AP2: 11ac
– Location of APs: T.B.D.– Location of STAs: T.B.D.– Traffic from AP to STAs: T.B.D.– Traffic from STAs to AP: T.B.D.– Channel model type applied : T.B.D.
• Possible Requirements– Case 1 and Case2:
• Throughput at each AP must be equal to or higher than that of case 0.
We think OBSS situation should be included in “Functional Requirements and Evaluation Methodology. ”

Conclusions
• Large number of APs / STAs is expected in 802.11ac.
• OBSS is more likely to happen in 802.11ac compared to 802.11n.
• We propose addressing for OBSS issue in TGac. We also suggest the following functional requirement.
“802.11ac shall maintain or increase throughput of each BSS in OBSS when some of 802.11a/n BSSs are replaced by 802.11ac BSSs.”
