Standard Roadmap • IEEE 802.16 - 2001 • IEEE 802.16a/b/c - 2003 • Amendments to 802.16-2001 • IEEE 802.16 - 2004 • Compatibility issue with HIPERMAN of ETSI • 802.16d project • Replace previous standards • Fixed site access • IEEE 802.16e, 16f - 2005 (amendment) • Extend to mobility • MIB • IEEE 802.16g-2007(amendment) • Management Plane Procedures and Services • IEEE 802.16j – 2008
Features • Broad Bandwidth • Up to 134.4Mbit/s • Transit over 50KM • Typical Architecture • 1 BS + n SSs • PMP or MESH • Spectrums • From 2 to 66 GHz • NLOS and LOS • Duplexing Techniques • TDD or FDD • WiMAX Forum • Conformance and Interoperability
Scope of Standard CS SAP Service-Specific Convergence Sublayer ( MAC CS ) MAC SAP MAC Common Part Sublayer ( MAC CPS ) Security Sublayer ( MAC SS ) Scheduliing Services QoS Parameters Bandwidth Allocation PHY SAP Physical Layer (PHY) PHY
IEEE 802.16j-2008 • One MR-BS (Multi-hop Relay - Base Station) and many RS (Relay Station) • Transparent mode • Only data are relayed via RS • Remove obstruction • Non-Transparent mode • Expand service coverage • Both signaling and data are relayed via RS • Increase utilization/throughput
Centralized vs Distributed Scheduling • Centralized Scheduling • For small size of networks • Only BS to do bandwidth allocations • Distributed Scheduling • For networks with hops greater than 2 • Both RS and BS do bandwidth allocations
