Submission Alfred Asterjadhi, et. al.
Introduction
• One of the main features introduced in 11ax is UL MU operation– AP allocates UL resources used by multiple STAs to transmit their data
• For an efficient allocation the AP needs to know UL buffer status (BS) of its STAs. The BS knowledge allows the AP to: – Allocate resources to those STAs that have something to transmit in UL– Calculate correctly the UL resources needed by the STAs
• We propose to specify a BS report mechanism that:– Relies on QoS Control field and its enhancements for improving BS
report– Allows solicited or unsolicited delivery of the buffer status reports
• Delivery is performed using commonly expected 11ax frame exchanges

Summary of Proposal
• AP elicits for BS reports via the Trigger frame– The AP can indicate whether it is soliciting BS information for:
• E.g., a particular TID (per-TID), for all TIDs (all-TID), with different granularity, …
• STA delivers BS report in QoS Control of QoS Data/Null frames– Per-TID BS info. is contained in Queue Size/TXOP Duration Requested
subfield• Note: This is the same signaling that is used for HCCA
• Note: Delivering BS information with different granularity, for the solicited and unsolicited case, is beneficial as well (see Appendix). The signaling for this case is currently TBD

“BS report” frames: Details
• STA reports BS info. in the QoS Control field of frames it transmits:– Queue Size is reported when AP is in control of UL TX parameters (e.g., MU)– TXOP Duration Requested when non-AP STA is in control of them (e.g., SU)

“BS Report”
doc.: IEEE 802.11-15/1120r0
Submission Alfred Asterjadhi, et. al.
BS Report mechanism: Overview
• STAs implicitly report their BS information in “BS report” frames– A “BS report” frame is any frame that contains QoS Control field
• AP can explicitly solicit particular BS info. in “BS polling” frames– The frame carrying the Trigger is proposed to act as a “BS polling” frame
• It can explicitly contain the type of BS information requested– E.g., Per-TID versus all-TID “BS report” (eventually the TID for which the
per-TID polling refers to)– Requested granularity for the BS info (i.e., units different from default)

Summary
• We propose to re-use the QoS Control field for reporting BS– When carried in QoS Data/Null frame it allows per-TID “BS report”
• We also propose a simple BS signaling mechanism that enables:– AP to solicit BS information from STAs with different granularity
• Future extensions are possible to enable BS reports with different granularity

Straw Poll 1
• Do you support using the QoS Control field in QoS Data and QoS Null frames to report per-TID Buffer Status information?

Straw Poll 2
• Do you support that an AP can poll STAs for buffer status reports using the frame carrying the trigger info?– The poll can request for specific buffer status information with TBD
granularity.

QoS Control field: Overview
• Current format of QoS Control field carries per-TID queue size/duration:– Queue Size ranges from 0 to 64 768 Octets, with a unit of 256 Octets– TXOP Duration Requested ranges from 0 to 8160 us, with a unit of 32 us
• However, HE transmit rates are expected to be highly flexible:– Covering a wider range (from ~416Kbps (@2.5MHz) to up to ~10?Gbps (@160MHz))– Hence, these limitations in BS info. signaling will lead to inefficient allocations
• E.g. 1: AP allocates low rate RU to STA that signaled 256 Bytes of UL Data– But STA actually has less (e.g., 128 Bytes) UL to be delivered in the 256 Octet RU
• An RU of ~5ms for UL TX@416Kbps requires that all UL MU STAs transmit for 5ms!– When time needed by the STA is actually half of that (50% of MU resource is wasted)
• E.g., 2: AP allocates high rate RU to STA that signaled >64 KB of UL Data– But STA actually has more (e.g., 640 KB) UL to be delivered in the 64KB Octet RU
• An RU of ~1 ms for UL TX@500Mbps is enough to transmit only 10% of its UL– When the STA could actually support transmitting at higher rates to deliver its UL (resource was
underused)
• Similar observations apply to the TXOP Duration Requested subfield as well
