Phase I Transmit a block of frames, similar to block-ACK

Phase II Replace actual block-ACK phase with parity-NACK phase

* A rateless FEC code is assumed in the figure, for e.g. for RS, parity would be parity OR data, receiver counts FEC packets

NACK jamming Leader Based Protocols

• From March 09 meetings two fundamental questions

arose:

1. Does the „capture effect“ impede the ACK/NACK jamming?

2. How is the jamming probability related to leader selection?

• Thus we have conducted ns-2 and Matlab simulations

for deriving NACK jamming probabilities

The „Capture Effect“

• Capture Effect is described in the literature as the

effect that a signal can be correctly received in the presence of
another transmission.

• Naively thinking: „how could this affect 802.11 wireless networks?“

1. If an OFDM data symbol is being received and some other OFDM
data symbol is „on the air“ (same channel), we assume increased
(white) noise at the receiver
=> correct reception depends on the power difference
2. If two 802.11 frames start at approximately the same time with
different content
=> Correct reception depends on phase and power difference

Submission Slide 8 Jochen Miroll, Saarland Univer

The „Capture Effect“

• Power level difference

– Assume interfering signal
has flat spectrum within
20MHz channel

– „Capture effect“ depends

on the resulting SNR

• Figure:
– Packet error rate (1500B)
in Rician fading channel
with Rician factor 1
(analytical results from text books)

Submission Slide 9 Jochen Miroll, Saarland Univer

 Nov 09 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1150r0

The „Capture Effect“

• Transmitting at the same time

– Receiver is not synchronised SIFS

– PLCP of TX1, TX2 and TX3 overlap

Rcv

TX 1
• Question is: Can the receiver Sender

obtain
1. Coarse timing from short preambles

TX 2
Interferer 1
2. AGC

TX 3
3. Clock sync Interferer 2

4. Fine timing from long preambles

5. Channel equalization Frames transmitted
at the same time

Submission Slide 10 Jochen Miroll, Saarland Univer

 Nov 09 doc.: IEEE 802.11-09/1150r0

The „Capture Effect“

• Transmitting (nearly) the same

content at the same time SIFS

– Assume ACK and NACK differ in

only one bit Rcv

– Conv. coded, scrambled signal „on

ACK
Sender
the air“ will differ starting from the
differing bit position

similar
• Receiver will see an echo Interferer 1

– Could be beneficial, sync will

similar
Interferer 2
probably be obtained
– But starting from the differing bit Very simliar frames
position, the „echo“ ceases to be an Transmitted at the
echo and becomes interference same time

Matlab Simulation

• To simulate „capturing“ in matlab Jamming

we have built a complex baseband SIFS

1. PLCP and OFDM signal generator

2. 10x upsampling to simulate „analog“ AP1

3. Interferer with 1 bit difference in the

ACK
STA 1 (leader)
MAC frame (type bit NACK/ACK)
4. Interferer jitters by +- GI (5% SIFS)*

NACK
STA r-1

NACK
5. AWGN / Multipath channels STA r

6. Viterbi decoding 10,000 simultaneous NACK jitter

ACK/NACK transmissions

* 802.11a GI: 16 samples, 0.8 us, SIFS: 16 us
