A New Metric for Evaluating the Throughput Performance of HEW Date: 2014-03-20 Authors: Yunzhou Li, Tsinghua Univ.
Abstract • This presentation suggests to add a new metric for evaluating the throughput performance of HEW and explains some reasons. • The new metric is called throughput with learned knowledge, which may include large-scale channel state information, directions/positions of STAs and neighbour APs, statistics characteristic of some important applications, etc. • The presentation proposes to add the new metric as one of evaluation metrics besides the traditional per-BSS throughput and per-STA throughput. Yunzhou Li, Tsinghua Univ.
Background • At present, the per-BSS throughput and per-STA throughput are calculated according to system-level simulation assumed that all the APs don’t utilize prior knowledge about the applications, channel state information, the positions of distributed STAs. • However, there are many results showed that these knowledge can help HEW to adjust the transmission policies and improve the efficiency of spectrum usage. • APs have capability to learn of these knowledge by measurement and refine the precise of these knowledge.

The knowledge of direction and position is helpful to improve efficiency • The knowledge of direction and position is helpful to enhance multiple simultaneous communications in both the spatial and frequency domains, in both the UL and DL. • Due to up to 8/16 antennas mounted in one AP, it is feasible to acquire the knowledge of direction and position of each STA w.r.t the AP.

The Large-scale CSI can be utilized to improve performance • Although there is a performance loss of the coordinated transmission with large-scale CSIT compared to that with full CSIT, the scheme with LsCSIT provides a noticeable performance gain over the equal power allocation scheme.

Throughput with learned knowledge • In recent years, there are a lot of efforts being done to optimize the system performance (known as “smart AP”) based on learned knowledge on the statistical characteristics of some important applications, such as WiFox[1], StreamBoost[2]. • Furthermore, some measurement procedures should be designed to facilitate the acquisition of learned knowledge and make HEW-AP smarter.

Proposal • We suggest that a procedure of acquisition of learned knowledge should be added as a possible option in the step of initialization in document of HEW Evaluation Methodology. • In addition, the “HEW Evaluation Methodology” should be keep open to be amended for new technology.

Summary • In this presentation, we don’t want to argue which technique is good and how much gain can be achieved by certain technique. • We present some knowledge, such as directional information, may be useful to exploit the efficiency of HEW. On the other hand, these knowledge can be learned by APs after working a period. In addition, some measurement procedure may facilitate the acquisition of these knowledge. • If the difference between the throughput without any prior knowledge and the one with learned knowledge may be noticeable, the schemes with learned knowledge should be paid attention. • Finally, a procedure of acquisition of learned knowledge is suggested to add as a possible option in the step of initialization of Evaluation Methodology.
