Evaluating Power Control Strategies for UORA in IEEE 802.11be Systems with Capture Effect

Uplink OFDMA-based random access (UORA) is a new channel access mechanism that supports uplink multiuser access in the new generation WiFi systems. Any associated stations (STAs) can use UORA to send their requests or data to the access point (AP) in a contention manner. In this paper, we provide a comprehensive evaluation for simulation study that investigates two power control strategies combined with capture effect in UORA and observes the fairness issue for spatial distribution of STAs. The results demonstrate that power control strategies can improve the performance of access success probability, delay, resource utilization, and power efficiency of UORA.
