  1. IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN For Broadband Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks

  2. IEEE 802The LAN/MAN Standards Committee • Wired: • 802.3 (Ethernet) • 802.17 (Resilient Packet Ring) • Wireless: • 802.11: Wireless LAN • Local Area Networks • 802.15: Wireless PAN • Personal Area Networks {inc. Bluetooth} • 802.16: WirelessMANTM • Metropolitan Area Networks • 802.20: • Vehicular Mobility (new)

  3. IEEE 802.16 Projects • Air Interface (PHYs with common MAC) • 802.16: 10-66 GHz • 802.16a: 2-11 GHz • Coexistence • IEEE 802.16.2 (10-66 GHz) • P802.16.2a: amendment • with 2-11 GHz licensed

  4. Properties of IEEE Standard 802.16 • Broad bandwidth • Up to 134 Mbit/s in 28 MHz channel (in 10-66 GHz air interface) • Supports multiple services simultaneously with full QoS • Efficiently transport IPv4, IPv6, ATM, Ethernet, etc. • Bandwidth on demand (frame by frame) • MAC designed for efficient used of spectrum • Comprehensive, modern, and extensible security • Supports multiple frequency allocations from 2-66 GHz • ODFM and OFDMA for non-line-of-sight applications • TDD and FDD • Link adaptation: Adaptive modulation and coding • Subscriber by subscriber, burst by burst, uplink and downlink • Point-to-multipoint topology, with mesh extensions • Support for adaptive antennas and space-time coding • Extensions to mobility are coming next.

  5. Point-to-MultipointWireless MAN: not a LAN • Base Station (BS) connected to public networks • BS serves Subscriber Stations (SSs) • SS typically serves a building (business or residence) • provide SS with first-mile access to public networks • Compared to a Wireless LAN: • Multimedia QoS, not only contention-based • Many more users • Much higher data rates • Much longer distances

  6. Scope of 802 Standards

  7. PHY Considerations • Line of Sight (because of 10-66 GHz) • Negligible multi-path • Broadband Channels • Wide channels (20, 25, or 28 MHz) • High capacity – Downlink AND Uplink • Multiple Access • TDM/TDMA • High rate burst modems • Adaptive Burst Profiles on Uplink and Downlink • Multiple duplex schemes • Time-Division Duplex (TDD) • Frequency-Division Duplex (FDD) [including Burst FDD] • Support for Half-Duplex Terminals

  8. Adaptive Burst Profiles • Burst profile • Modulation and FEC • Dynamically assigned according to link conditions • Burst by burst, per subscriber station • Trade-off capacity vs. robustness in real time • Roughly doubled capacity for the same cell area • Burst profile for downlink broadcast channel is well- known and robust • Other burst profiles can be configured “on the fly” • SS capabilities recognized at registration

  9. Framing Structure • Frame length: 1 ms • Allocation process is done in terms of PSs • PS = Physical Slot = 4 Modulation Symbols • Depending on modulation, a PS contains 1, 2, or 3 bytes

  10. MAC Requirements • Provide Network Access • Address the Wireless environment • e.g., very efficient use of spectrum • Broadband services • Very high bit rates, downlink and uplink • A range of QoS requirements • Ethernet, IPv4, IPv6, ATM, ... • Likelihood of terminal being shared • Base Station may be heavily loaded • Security • Protocol-Independent Engine • Convergence layers to ATM, IP, Ethernet, ... • Support PHY alternatives • Adaptive mod, TDD/FDD; single-carrier, OFDM/OFDMA, etc

  11. 802.16 MAC: Overview • Point-to-Multipoint • Metropolitan Area Network • Connection-oriented • Supports difficult user environments • High bandwidth, hundreds of users per channel • Continuous and burst traffic • Very efficient use of spectrum • Protocol-Independent core (ATM, IP, Ethernet, …) • Balances between stability of contentionless and efficiency of contention-based operation • Flexible QoS offerings • CBR, rt -VBR, nrt-VBR, BE, with granularity within classes • Supports multiple 802.16 PHYs

  12. Definitions • Service Data Unit (SDU) • Data units exchanged between adjacent layers • Protocol Data Unit (PDU) • Data units exchanged between peer entities • Connection and Connection ID • a unidirectional mapping between MAC peers over the airlink (uniquely identified by a CID) • Service Flow and Service Flow ID • a unidirectional flow of MAC PDUs on a connection that provides a particular QoS (uniquely identified by a SFID)

  13. MAC Addressing • SS has 48-bit IEEE MAC Address • BS has 48-bit Base Station ID • Not a MAC address • 24-bit operator indicator • 16-bit Connection ID (CID) • Used in MAC PDUs

  14. Possible Consideration • QoS • In GPC, if the amount of the connections are very high, then SS should request BW for each connection, which is resource consuming. • In GPSS, SS should aggregate all the connections that are with different services, and request BW from BS. • Scheduling problem? • Mesh topology support
