In the current draft 11be 0.1, there are no or incorrect text to reflect the passed motions related to DCM and DCm+DUP (as follows).
I am wondering about the plan for the spec. text of these motions..
The following MCSs are defined:
·
MCS14: BPSK + ½ rate coding + DCM + Dup
·
MCS15: BPSK + ½ rate coding + DCM
NOTE – These MCSs are only applicable to Nss = 1.
[Motion 137, #SP250,
[3] and
[56]]
The followings are the requirements to support DCM+MCS0:
·
Mandatory in
o
RU 26, 52, 106, and 242 for 20 MHz-only STAs.
o
RU 26, 52, 106, 242, 484, and 996 for non 20 MHz-only STAs.
·
Conditional mandatory in
o
RU 2×996 when STA supports 160 MHz
o
RU 2×996 and 4×996 when STA supports 320 MHz
·
Optional in
o
MRU 52+26, 106+26, 484+242, 996+484, 996+484+242, and 3×996
·
Not supported in
o
MRU 2×996+484, 3×996+484

802.11be agrees to define a DUP mode for non-punctured 80 MHz, 160 MHz and 320 MHz PPDUs transmitted to a single user, limited to {MCS0+DCM, Nss=1}.
·
80 DUP = 40 (RU 484) duplicated.
·
160 DUP = 80 (RU 996) duplicated.
·
320 DUP = 160 (RU 2×996) duplicated.
·
PAPR reduction scheme is TBD.
·
Additional diversity scheme is TBD.
·
This is an R1 feature.
The mode defined above is limited to 6 GHz.
·
NOTE – Whether to further limit this to LPI mode is TBD.
The duplication in the mode defined above is done only on the data tones of the payload portion and that EHT-STF/LTF are based on the total BW.
In this mode,
·
For 80 MHz PPDU, the EHT-STF, EHT-LTF and pilot are same as transmitting both RU1 and RU2 of 484-tone RU.
·
For 160/320 MHz PPDU, the EHT-STF, EHT-LTF and pilot are same as the non-OFDMA 160/320 MHz PPDU.
PAPR reduction scheme is TBD.
NOTE – pre-EHT modulated fields are TBD.

The optional Dup+DCM mode for 6 GHz band LPI channel is supported.

The PAPR reduction scheme for the DUP mode consists of flipping the sign of data tones only, as shown in red as follows:
·
BW80 and BW160 PPDU data-tone processing:
o
Pre-DCM freq-domain signal:
𝒙
o
DCM-encoded freq-domain signal:
𝒚
= [𝒙
𝒙𝐷𝐶𝑀 ]
o
DUP freq-domain signal: [𝒚
−𝒙
𝒙𝐷𝐶𝑀 ]
·
BW320 PPDU data-tone processing:
o
Pre-DCM freq-domain signal split into two halves:
§
𝒙𝐿 over lower
𝑁𝑆𝐷/2 sub-carriers,
𝒙𝑈 over upper
𝑁𝑆𝐷/2 sub-carriers.
o
DCM-encoded freq-domain signal:
𝒚
= [𝒙𝐿

o
DUP freq-domain signal: [𝒚 −𝒙𝐿
