Introduction
• 11ah use case includes a large outdoor network – For an outdoor smart grid network, the number of STAs can be 2007+
– TIM element may cover few hundreds to few thousands STAs
– Bits set to one in the TIM element may trigger too many PS-Poll/trigger frame transmissions from the STAs within a short period of time
– Many stations at the edge of the coverage area could be hidden to each other for uplink transmissions

TIM Triggered Hidden Node Problem
• Too many bits set in the TIM element may trigger too many PS-Poll/trigger frame transmissions right after the beacon frame within a short period of time– Increase collisions between the hidden nodes

TIM Triggered Hidden Node Problem
• In order to solve TIM Triggered Hidden Node Problem
– One of solutions is either to spread out the uplink transmissions (PS-Poll/Data) over a long period of time or to delay the contention process for sending its PS-poll.
• Both solutions have a similarity about delaying or spreading the uplink transmission
• Alternative way is that PS-Poll and Data Transmission are separated to different time windows.
– Only STAs covered by the AID segment are allowed to access channel within a restricted access window (RAW)

Uplink Channel Access Protocol
• RAWs with different slot durations
– If the TXOP rule is applied, a frame exchange sequence (an initial frame and a response frame) in a restricted access window shall be limited to a Slot Duration
– RAW1 can be a potentially protected poll interval.
– RAW2 can be a potentially data delivery interval.

Uplink Channel Access Example
• RAW1 (=Protected Poll Interval)– GrPS IE of RAW1 indicates that only the STAs that meet the below conditions can access RAW1
• The RAW is allowed only to the STA’s with AID bit = 1 in the TIM IE
• Slot duration = Ts1 ,where Ts1 is set to (PS-Poll + SIFS +ACK) or (Null Data + SIFS +ACK)
• TXOP cross slot boundary = not allowed
– This effectively makes RAW1 to be used for only PS-Poll or Null-Data trigger frames
• RAW2 (=Data Delivery Interval)– GrPS IE of RAW2 indicates that only the STAs that meet the below conditions can access RAW2
• The RAW is allowed only to the STA’s with AID bit = 1 in the TIM IE
• Slot duration = Ts2 ,where Ts2 is set to be large enough to transmit (Data + SIFS +ACK)
• TXOP cross slot boundary = not allowed
– This effectively makes RAW2 to be used for the AP to transmit Data frames to the STAs with their AID bits set to 1
– If there is time left in a time slot, a STA can transmit data to the AP as long as it doesn’t cross the slot boundary

• AP may indicate to a paged STA a channel access slot after which the STA is allowed to contend
– Preferred an implicit indication, based on TIM, so that the Beacon is not overloaded
– Additional information [TBD] for determining a RAW duration may be needed in (short) Beacon
• After receiving TIM, STA transmits the PS-Poll/Trigger frames to a AP not earlier than the slot boundary of its channel access slot based on EDCA
• AP may indicate to a paged STA, that it will be sending traffic to a STA not earlier than a given downlink BU delivery slot.
– Indication of the downlink BU delivery slot should not overload the beacon
• New management frame indicates the downlink BU delivery slot per each STA after all PS-Poll/Trigger frame transmission completed.
• AP may protect the PS-Poll/Trigger frames by setting the NAV– The paged STAs can ignore the NAV set by the AP. If NAV is set, then only paged STAs
can send PS-Poll/Trigger frames during the RAW

Downlink Buffered BU Delivery Example
• After all awakened STAs exchanged PS-Poll/Trigger and ACK frames, the AP broadcasts a slot assignment frame which includes estimated downlink buffered BU transmission time for STAs.
– Details on the new management frame format is TBD.

Uplink Frame Delivery Procedure
• AP may allow a STA/group-of-STA to transmit an uplink frame anytime.
• AP may assign to each STA/group-of-STA a channel access slot at which the STA is allowed to contend through a Beacon frame
– STA wakes up at TBTT and it listens to a Beacon frame
– STA determines its channel access slot through the Beacon frame
– STA starts to access the channel not earlier than the slot boundary of its channel access slot; access is based on EDCA.
• When requested by a STA, AP may assign to the STA a channel access slot at which the STA is allowed to contend, at association or later through a management frame exchange
– STA starts to access the channel not earlier than its slot boundary of its channel access slot; access is based on EDCA.

• At association (or later through a management exchange) AP indicates to a STA a time interval at which the STA is allowed to contend– Time may be defined as a periodic interval
– Offset may be indicated with respect to a given beacon time
– Signaling ‘similar’ to FMS

Conclusion
• 11ah use case includes a large outdoor network– Many stations at the edge of the coverage area could be hidden to each other
– Bits set in the TIM element may trigger collisions between the hidden nodes
• When hidden nodes are present in the network, spreading the uplink channel accesses over a much longer period of time significantly reduces the collisions – Some simulation results are shown in [1].
• In this joint contribution, we propose a general procedure for an uplink channel access– Detail about how the STA determines its channel access slot is TBD.
