  2. Outline • Overview of comparison with CCK-OFDM • Comparison with MBCK • Details of PBCC vs. CCK-OFDM • Conclusion Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  3. Comparison with CCK-OFDM Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  4. The fundamental PBCC performance edge • The PBCC solution uses a more sophisticated code • Advantage of PBCC solution of 3.75 dB over CCK-OFDM solution in received power (22Mbps versus 26.4Mbps) • The CCK-OFDM solution requires approximately 130% more received power in the same environment. • 3.35 dB, 22Mbps vs 24Mbps (115% more ) • 2.95 dB over CCK-OFDM solution in received pwr per bit • 100% more received power for the same performance after normalizing for rate differences. • This doubles area coverage, battery-life, cell density or combination. Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  5. PBCC solution in multipath • The PBCC performance advantage carries over to all channel conditions • slightly greater in multipath • PBCC uses an optimized "cover code" that makes the code effectively time-varying and inherently more resistant to multipath • This is the "P" in "PBCC" Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  6. Achievable rates/throughput • Top mandatory rates: • 22 Mbps for PBCC • 26.4 Mbps for CCK-OFDM • Top optional rates: • 33 Mbps for PBCC • 59.4 Mbps for CCK-OFDM • 10% higher than for 802.11a Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  7. Achievable throughput (cont) • Substantial extra overhead in CCK-OFDM reduces throughput: for MPEG packets (188 byte) • PBCC 22 has higher throughput than CCK-OFDM 26.4 • PBCC 33 has higher throughput than CCK-OFDM 52.8 • PBCC 33 Mbps has a 2 dB signal-to-noise ratio advantage over CCK-OFDM 26.4 Mbps Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  8. Time to market / solution feasibility • TI has produced a chip implementing all mandatory parts of its proposal. • PBCC proposed mandatory mode will work with existing 802.11b radios. • The CCK-OFDM proposal requires design of a new radio • Long delay in market availability of IEEE 802.11g products. Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  9. Overall approach • The fundamentals of the respective approaches: • there is no fundamental performance difference between single-tone and multi-tone systems. • TI is developing 802.11a-compliant hardware. • Both single-tone and multi-tone make sense; it does not make sense to do both! • as is required for backward compatibility in CCK-OFDM proposal. Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  10. IP issues • TI has offered a royalty-free license for all its inventions required to implement the mandatory portions of the standard if its solution is adopted as the standard • There are serious third-party IP issues with CCK-OFDM proposal Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  13. Discussion • Essential components of MBCK proposal not currently revealed • MBCK proposal beats CCK-OFDM in AWGN but is still well short of PBCC’s solution • From MBCK submission, PBCC’s solution has advantage in most channel conditions Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  15. Performance advantage • PBCC-22 uses a novel 256-state, rate 2/3 binary convolutional code matched to 8-PSK • CCK-OFDM adopts a standard 64-state, rate 1/2 convolutional code • widely known to all coding practitioners since 1972 • existing PBCC 11 Mbps option in 802.11b standard is a variation of this type of code • A major component of overall 2.95 dB advantage comes from differences between the codes Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  29. Required radio • PBCC uses 8-PSK, with 802.11b’s 11 MHz clock • no problems of dynamic range or peak-to-average ratio. • CCK-OFDM proposal involves 16- and 64-QAM • much larger peak-to-average ratio • Poses problems with linearity and dynamic range... • … and is dramatically different as an interferer • CCK-OFDM proposal requires a new radio and baseband • a long delay in the debut of standardized products • recall HomeRF 10 Mbps products expected in 2001 Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  30. Barker-2 PAR: 2.1 = 3.2 dB CCK-11 PAR: 2.1 = 3.2 dB Temporal Character:Peak to Average Power Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  31. PBCC-24: PAR: 2.1 = 3.2 dB OFDM-26.4: PAR: 11.5 = 10.6 dB PAR (cont) Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  32. Overall approach • Both single-tone and multi-tone systems achieve “capacity” on the channels seen by wireless LANs. • “Which is better: many bits on one tone or few on many?” • Well studied in information theory, answer is well known: highest achievable performance in each system is exactly the same • This is neither obvious nor easy to show, but has been known since at least the 1960's. Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  33. IP issues • Wi-LAN and others claim broad patents covering use of OFDM in wireless LANs • Are attempting to enforce these patents via litigation • Are not participants in IEEE 802.11g TI has offered a royalty-free license, without time limit, for all its inventions required to implement the mandatory portions of the standard, if its solution is adopted as the standard Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  34. Wi-LAN's Zaghloul: • "Wi-LAN is ready for the worst," he says, "and antcipates the best. We anticipate [Cisco] will pay without much of a fight, but if they don't, we're prepared to go all the way [in a legal fight to secure license payments.]” • http://www.isp-planet.com/technology/cisco_wi-lan.htm Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals

  36. Conclusions • PBCC proposed mandatory 22 Mbps mode • Has large performance advantage (3.75 dB over 26.4 Mbps) • Works in same environment as IEEE 802.11b • Put PBCC-22 Mbps next to 11 Mbps CCK:if the CCK mode works, the PBCC-22 mode also works • Has been implemented, is ready for market now • Spectrally and temporally identical to existing 802.11b • Works with existing 802.11b radios • No new interference type • Royalty-free license offered • PBCC proposed optional 33 Mbps mode requires 2dB less SNR than the mandatory 26.4 Mbps OFDM Comparison of IEEE802.11g Proposals
