18
MAC Connections and Addressing

Multiple MAC connections between BS and MS

Addressing
48 bit MAC address identifies a MAC Instance 16 bit Connection ID (CID) identifies a unidirectional connection BS manages CID space
Broadcast CID: 0xFFFF Basic CIDs (for Basic Management Connection): within range (0x0001 x)

Connection Management
Service flows are created, changed or deleted by MAC management messages Dynamic Service Addition/Change/Delete (DSA/DSX/DSD)
BS initiated DSA To establish an UL or a DL service flow with an MS:

BS performs admission control algorithm to see if the QoS requirements of the requested class of service can be supported based on the current resource information BS generates a new SFID and a new CID with the required service class and informs the MS using a DSA-REQ message MS responds with a DSA-RSP message, and enable the corresponding service flows BS receives DSA-RSP. BS enables the corresponding service flow BS sends the DSA-ACK back
23
QoS Scheduling
QoS Scheduling: to allocate the available radio resources efficiently to meet negotiated QoS requirements for each connection/service flow A connection/SF is associated with a data scheduling service type
UGS: RT-VR: ERT-VR: NRT-VR: BE: Unsolicited Grant Service, for VoIP Real-Time Variable Rate service, for streaming audio, video Extended Real-Time Variable Rate service, for VoIP with silence suppression Non Real-Time Variable rate service, for FTP Best Effort service, for data
Scheduling service is determined by a set of QoS Parameters quantify aspects of its scheduling behavior
Major QoS Parameters Max Sustained Traffic Rate (MSR) Min Reserved Traffic Rate (MRR) Max Latency Tolerated Jitter Unsolicited Grant Interval (if UL) Unsolicited Polling Interval (if UL) UGS

Air Link Control

Link adaptation
Select best Modulate and Coding Scheme (MCS) based on link quality Modulation: QPSK, 16QAM, 64QAM (Optional for UL)
Channel Coding: CC (1/2, 2/3, 3/4) and CTC (1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 5/6) BS
QPSK

64QAM
Link quality reported in fast feedback channel CQICH
26
Air Link Control

Error handling ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest)
Pure MAC operation to provide in sequence delivery Corrupted packets discarded in receiver ACK/NACK requires UL resource allocation
Error handling HARQ (hybrid ARQ)

Hybrid MAC/PHY operation Corrupted packets stored rather than discarded ACK/NACK sent on dedicated channels ACK Channel Receiver combines the retransmitted packets with the previously error packets to achieve better SNR and coding gain against time-varying channel Two types of HARQ:
Chase Combining (CC): retransmit copy of original packet with same MCS Incremental Redundancy (IR): retransmit partial of the original packet with different MCS; more coding gain but complex
27
System Synchronization
Upon powering up, the mobile goes through hardware test Scan for frequency during system acquisition Sync with preamble Obtain transmit parameters (from DCD, UCD message) Ranging for UL synchronization

System Acquisition
Ranging
28
System Synchronization
Negotiate basic capabilities:
maximum available power and the current transmitted power PHY parameters, for example if HARQ is supported.
SBC & Key exchange
Authorize MS and perform key exchange Perform registration Establish IP connectivity Set up connections
Registration IP Connectivity Connection Established

29
Mobility Management Handover schemes Hard Handover (HHO): mandatory

Different level of optimization Optimized HHO: a handoff delay under 50 ms.
Fast Base Station Switching (FBSS): optional

MS receives from / transmits to one BS within a group of BSs during handover MS quickly switches serving BSs
Micro Diversity Handover (MDHO): optional

MS receives from / transmits to multiple BSs simultaneously during HO (like soft HO)
30
Hard Handover Process Handover control: Mobile initiated or BS initiated Hard handover process
Network topology acquisition
Process of BS advertising network topology or MS scanning neighbor BSs to acquire network topology
Handover process
Process of associating with target BS and disassociating with serving BS Cell Reselection: scanning and association process HO Decision and Initiation Synchronization to DL of Target BS Ranging, network re-entry with Target BS Termination of MS context with Serving BS
31

MS still keeps active transport connections Sleep interval: time period when a connection does not receive/transmit data Listen interval: time period when a connection can receive/transmit data Power saving classes provide flexible sleep/wake up patterns
Periodic listening Intervals Periodic sleep Intervals
Sleep
Idle Mode
Active & Listen
Sleep
Active & Listen
MS has no transport connection MS wakes up periodically to listen to the page by BSs in a paging group Paging group size should be optimized to cover idle-mode MS mobility and to minimize paging overhead
32
MBS (Multicast-Broadcast Services)

Multicast: sent to a select group of MSs Broadcast: sent to all MSs Two types of MBS Single BS access: point-to-multipoint
A single BS creates a connection to each MS in multicast group ARQ/HARQ not supported
Multiple BS access: multipoint-to-multipoint

MBS Zone group of BSs that together offer MBS Multicast/broadcast transmissions are synchronized in time and frequency
