• Collaboration between 2.4/5 and 60 GHz bands allows the 802.11 user experience to be met by seamlessly providing both the wide coverage of WLAN and the very high throughput of 60 GHz when available
• A key merit of 802.11.ad is that it can build on past successful standards– e.g. 802.11a/n/ad system– This will provide many new market opportunities for the 802.11.ad standard
• In [1] and [2] we introduced several use cases dedicated to fast session transfer.• A method of fast session transfer is proposed which enables very fast
transparent switching to deal with user mobility, dynamic channel conditions and to allow joint management of multiple bands

Use cases 1&2: Switch from 2.4/5 to 60GHzor from 60 to 2.4/5GHz
• Band selection for all flows of a station(stations with only one band active at a given time (Switchable interface) or stations with multiple bands active simultaneously at a given time)
– AP-STB either in 2.4/5 GHz band or in 60 GHz band (one at a time)
• Band selection for each flow of a station separately(only stations with multiple bands active simultaneously at a given time)
– Multiple HD flows between AP and STB either in 2.4/5 GHz band or in 60 GHz band– Session transfer of some HD flows in case of saturation of 2.4/5GHz or 60GHz
Band selection may be based on (a) maintaining coverage with user mobility, (b) dynamically changing channel quality, (c) throughput enhancement,(d) load balancing between bands, etc
We believe that this interface convergence will improve the overall home network
In this presentation, we only consider the case 1 with - an AP concurrent dual band- a STA with switchable interface

Requirements on seamless fast session transfer
• Requirements for speed of a seamless fast session transfer– For video applications:
• 1080p 60Hz => frame every 16.6 ms• Assuming packet loss: latency between 5 and 10 ms
– For VoIP applications: • Maximum acceptable BSS transfer for VoIP roaming is 50 ms
– For gaming applications, distributed storage or contents sharing:• Same constraints as for video
Session transfer should not exceed 5 to 10 msQuite severe constraint: needs to be better than 11r
• Other requirements– Switch should be able to be initiated by either device in a link (AP or STA)

How to perform the seamless fast session transfer
• Required functions for FST:
Preparation phase: – Exchange of FST capabilities and FST negotiation for each link prior to transmission.
• We believe the negotiation should lead to the direct acceptance of future switches, to suppress the need to provide a response when a switch is requested
– Sharing of the association parameters between the two bands• To speed up the process by removing the need for disassociation/re-association during the switch
– Definition in STA of a unique logical MAC address, switchable from one interface to another
FST phase (phase during which FST can be done): – Report request/response on one band/channel of particular metrics (such as the load and SNR) of the
other band/channel– Triggering of the session transfer by the transmission of a signal frame
• No need for a response to the trigger frame because of the prior negotiation• No need for disassociation/re-association because of the sharing of association parameters

How to perform the seamless fast session transferSharing of association parameters (1/2)
• Split between association function and forwarding function– Association to an AP, independently of the current interface/band:
• Negotiation of MAC parameters (security, power save, ….)
• Reception of a unique AID, whatever the band/channel

How to perform the seamless fast session transferTrigger the switch by a signal frame (1/3)
• The trigger signal frame should provide the information to localize the destination band and to indicate which station the switch concerns
• FST signal frame needs to include– The channel number from the destination channel
– The BSSID of the destination band
– The AID of the station that will switch band

How to perform the seamless fast session transferTrigger the switch by a signal frame (2/3)
• Additional information in FST signal frame to speed up the FST
– Option 1: include the capabilities of the destination channel in the FST signal frame
By doing this, the station does not need to wait for the next beacon once arrived in the destination band in order to get the capabilities
This will be very efficient for destination bands/channels working with CSMA-CA (ex: from 802.11ad to 802.11n or 802.11ac): very low FST duration
However, for TDMA-based destination bands/channels like 802.11ad60 GHz, the station will anyway need to wait for the next beacon to be informed a) of the next contention-period to request a reserved slot b) of its reserved slot, if a slot has been pre-reserved

How to perform the seamless fast session transferTrigger the switch by a signal frame (3/3)
• Additional information in FST signal frame to speed up the FST
– Option 2: use the principle of the "channel switch announcement frame" to plan the arrival in the destination band just before the beacon transmission
• signaling of the destination band/channel TBTT in the FST signal frame
• in addition, the switch can be planned using the "channel switch announcement element" field in the FST signal frame
By doing this, the station will directly receive the capabilities and the contention-period time in case of TDMA.
This will be very efficient for all destination band/channels working with either CSMA-CA or TDMA

Seamless fast session transfer performance
• Speed of the FST– When using option 2, the FST switch time easily satisfies the 5 to 10 ms
switching requirements• FST duration only includes the time needed to perform the switch and the
reception of the beacon on the destination band/channel
• Trigger of the FST by the AP• Trigger by a FST signal frame
• Such a decision requires a report on one band/channel of particular metrics (such as the load and SNR) of the other band/channel
• Trigger of the FST by the station• The FST can be instantaneous thanks to UL data transmission in the new band

• Fast session transfer is a very important feature to improve home network by allowing the joint management of multiple bands, and to open new market opportunities.
• To be efficient, FST needs to be seamless and triggered by either one or the other device of a link and to be as fast as 5 to 10ms.
• We proposed to share the association parameters and a new trigger frame that enable such an efficient FST.
