Use
licensed spectrum (unlicensed too in 802.16a) Metropolitan in scale Provide public network service to fee-paying customers Point-to-multipoint architecture with rooftop or tower-mounted antennas
efficient transport of Heterogeneous traffic supporting QoS Capable of broadband transmissions (2-75 Mbps)

Wireless Networks Spring 2007
Medium
On transmission, assemble data into a frame with address and error detection fields On reception, disassemble frame, and perform address recognition and error detection Govern access to the wireless transmission medium
PROTOCOL ARCHITECTURE
Encapsulate PDU framing of upper layers into native 802.16 MAC/PHY frames Map upper layers addresses into 802.16 addresses Translate upper layer QoS parameters into native 802.16 MAC format Adapt time dependencies of upper layer traffic into equivalent MAC service
BURST PROFILES
Each
subscriber station negotiates a burst profile with the base station Burst profiles decided based on QoS needs and channel conditions
Harsher environment demands more robust profiles Favorable environment allows efficient profiles
transmit in in their assigned allocation specified in an initial map Uplink sub-frame may also contain contention-based allocations for initial system access Uses a DAMA-TDMA technique Error correction uses Reed-Solomon codes Modulation scheme based on QPSK, 16QAM or 64-QAM
downstream mode
Wireless Networks Spring 2007
For continuous transmission (audio/video) Simple TDM scheme is used for channel access Frequency division duplex (FDD)
Burst
downstream mode
For bursty transmission (IP-based traffic) DAMA-TDMA scheme for channel access FDD with adaptive modulation, frequency shift division duplexing (FSDD), time division duplexing (TDD)
Connection-oriented
Connections referenced using a 16-bit connection identifier (CID) Management channels and transport channels for contracted services
control and paging Transition among burst profiles Downlink burst profile change
Subscriber station monitors downlink quality Requests a new profile Granted if base station judges possible
Uplink
profile change
Base station monitors the uplink signal quality Specifies the new profiles usage code when granting subscriber bandwidth in a frame
kinds of subscribers
Wireless Networks Spring 2007
Both
classes request bandwidth per connection for QoS guarantees For GPC, bandwidth explicitly guaranteed to connection For GPSS, bandwidth aggregated into a single grant for SS
REQUESTING BANDWIDTH
Unsolicited
grants
Wireless Networks Spring 2007
No need to request bandwidth for services that generate fixed units of data periodically Negotiated at connection setup time
Send
a bandwidth request MAC packet Piggyback request within MAC data packet Polling by base station
and downlink channel descriptor Uplink and downlink access definition Ranging request and response Registration request, response and acknowledge Privacy key management request and response Dynamic service addition request, response and acknowledge
