16 4. Benefits of Using n for WLAN Interworking 16
17 Introduction to n Latest generation of Wi-Fi Technology Wi-Fi Alliance started certifying interoperability of devices based on Draft 2.0 of the upcoming n standard in June 2006 Certification of Approved n based devices scheduled to start in July 2009 Key Enhancements to Legacy Wi-Fi in n standard: Increased Throughput and Range due to the use of MIMO WFA draft 2.0 testing, tests for 2 Spatial Streams, Standard specifies up to 4 spatial streams, with a max link rate of 600 Mbps Increased Throughput due to the use of Frame Aggregation Techniques and/or the use of 40MHz channels Up to 5X the Throughput and 2X the Range compared to Legacy Gear 17
18 Key Advantages of n Home Environment Whole Home Coverage; a strong Wi-Fi signal that can blanket the entire home A whole family sharing an internet connection on a wide array of devices without degradation Moving HD video and audio streams effortlessly from device to devices, throughout the home Best user experience with voice calls, video games and other multimedia applications Back up large files in a snap Enterprise and Hot Spot Plenty of bandwidth to support data-intensive applications (e.g. video) and more users Reach hard-to-cover spots like stairwells, corridors, and exterior areas with ease Support more users on a more efficient WLAN infrastructure Ability for legacy a/b/g clients to connect Reduced CapEx and OpEx for Hot Spot providers, due to larger coverage areas of APs 18
19 802.11n Access Points with Legacy Wi-Fi Radios in Mobile Devices 11n AP Legacy Client Most WLAN enabled Mobile Devices currently shipping with a, b or g Even without n Radios on the client side, notable Range and Power Consumption Benefits: Increased Receive Sensitivity at Access Points Transmit Diversity at Access Point Higher Data Rates Enabled at any given point Lower Output Power required of Client 19
20 Benefits of Having n on Both Sides of the Link Range Extension for a Single Data Stream due to Support of Space Time Block Coding (STBC) Higher Throughput and Extended Range for Mobile Devices with Multiple Antennas (1x2 and 2x2 implementations) Higher Peak data-rates with Spatial Multiplexing: 2 Spatial Streams: 130 Mbps 1 Spatial Stream: 65 Mbps Legacy a/g: 54 Mbps Higher Throughputs for transfer of large files (Music, Video, Pictures) due to Aggregation Techniques (A-MPDU ora-msdu) Range Extension Due to the use of the Legacy Duplicate Mode Power Safe Features Increased Overall Network Capacity 11n will Spur Migration to the 5 GHz band 5GHz is cleaner spectrum; fewer risks for interference New n deployments can segregate voice on 5 GHz 20
21 5. Features and Enhancements for Improved 3G WLAN Interworking 21
22 3G WLAN Interworking Considerations Robust Handoffs between Networks Triggers and algorithms for efficient handoff End-to-end call quality management Efficient Power Management Improving WLAN standby and talk time Voice over WLAN Performance QoS Management over WiFi Interference in unlicensed spectrum System Search and Selection 22
23 Mobile-Based Algorithms Enables Seamless Inter-system Handoff Robust and Efficient Handoff Algorithms achieve Make-before-break handoff with no call drop Maximize WLAN range while maintaining voice quality Minimize packet losses during handoff Stable handoff avoiding unnecessary ping-pong Handoff Algorithms Also Need to Handle Diverse Network Deployments and Usage Scenarios 3G / WLAN handoffs with varying loading WLAN to WLAN handoffs in enterprise settings Mobile-Centric Algorithm Can Meet all the Requirements Without Network Changes WLAN 3G Network 23
24 Multiple, Intelligent Triggers for Robust Handoff Operation Signal Strength Based Handoff Alone Does Not Provide Adequate Performance RSSI measurement is noisy near handoff boundary Does not detect interference for WLAN connection Cannot monitor uplink quality Does not detect backhaul failures Improved Handoff Algorithm Combines PHY, MAC, and Application Layer Triggers for Greater Reliability 1. Signal strength (RSSI) 2. Uplink MAC frame failures and retransmissions 3. Downlink VoIP frame losses 4. Backhaul QoS degradation (PQMF) 3G Network APP: Path Quality Monitoring Function VCC AS MAC: Uplink Metrics PHY: RSSI Internet PDG/PDIF PQMF Server MGW APP: VoIP Frame Loss 24
25 Reliability Improvement Through Application Layer Monitoring Path Quality Monitoring Function (PQMF) Measures Path Quality Between Device and Operator s Network Secure, adaptive, ping-type procedure with low overhead Server function provided by PDG/PDIF With PQMF, Mobile Devices Can More Accurately Decide When to HO Prevent initiate call on an overloaded WLAN system Respond to WLAN QoS failures during call silence periods Distinguish between local and remote link failures 3G Network Path Quality Monitoring Function VCC AS Internet PDG/PDIF PQMF Server MGW 25
26 Battery Life Close to 3G Phones Improved talk time by transitioning to sleep during calls Based on power save mechanisms such as U-APSD (802.11e) Examples: talk time up to 6 hours in WiFi mode for T- Mobile Hotspot@Home phones Improved standby time by intelligent WiFi scans and longer sleep periods Example: a standby time of 4 days is claimed for T- Mobile Hotspot@Home phones 26
27 High Quality VoIP Calls in WLAN WLAN Can Meet Requirement of Voice Quality in Mixed Traffic VoIP bandwidth is low compared to WLAN throughput Explicit QoS provided for VoIP by e (WMM) VoIP Traffic Should Be Prioritized over the Backhaul Appropriately May require agreements with ISPs PQMF helps to detect backhaul QoS failures and handing over to cellular if needed Adaptive De-Jitter Buffer Improves Voice Quality Mitigate Effects of Variable Packet Delay 27
28 Smart System Search and Selection Algorithms Optimized to Find and Select New Systems in a Fast and Efficient Manner Minimize frequency of system scans and increase battery life Identifying authorized, commonly used WLAN hotspots Idle handoff between WLAN and WAN (and vice versa) Finding systems quickly enough for mobility transition Active Scan algorithm can provide an order of magnitude performance improvement vs. basic scanning algorithm 28
29 6. 3G/WLAN Interworking Technology Trial Results 29
30 3G/WLAN Interworking Validated by Technology Trial Six weeks of real-world testing of handoffs between 3G and WLAN Over 700 VCC calls with over VCC 1200 handoffs Residential settings: suburban, urban, dense apartments Enterprise settings with full coverage, spotty coverage Scenarios designed to test performance limits Extensive walking test Poor cellular coverage WLAN and backhaul loading: downloads, uploads Interference from microwave ovens, Bluetooth, cordless phones Extensive data collection and analysis used to fine-tune algorithms and parameter Settings Carrier-grade VoWLAN with imperceptible handoffs between 3G and WLAN 30
