Broadband Access to Buildings

• Wireless Metro Ethernet – 802.11 Wireless Ethernet

• First/Last mile access – Fast local connection to network

» 30%-40% Radio/TV pervasion » 5% internet access

– Target Applications (similar as DSL and CableModem) » Data » Voice / Audio » Video distribution » Real-time videoconferencing

• High-capacity cable/fiber to every user is expensive

– Network operators demand it – Business and residential customers demand it

4G (beyond 3G) / IMT Advanced

• 4G, a term used to describe the next complete evolution in wireless communications,

– is being developed to accommodate the quality of service (QoS) and rate requirements set by forthcoming applications for "anytime-anywhere".

• The 4G working group has defined the following as objectives of the 4G wireless communication standard:

– A nominal data rate of 100 Mbit/s while the client physically moves at high speeds relative to the station, and 1 Gbit/s while client and station are in relatively fixed positions

– Smooth handoff across heterogeneous networks – Seamless connectivity and global roaming across multiple

networks – High quality of service for next generation multimedia support

(real time audio, high speed data, HDTV video content, mobile TV, etc)

– An all IP, packet switched network.

HSPA (High speed packet access)

• HSPA+ boosts peak data rates to 42 Mbps on the downlink and 22 Mbps on the uplink

– Use MIMO and higher order modulation • HSDPA (D = downlink)

– 14.4 Mbps in downlink – 174 commercial networks in 76 countries – Can be achieved by software upgrade of

existing 3G networks • HSUPA (U = uplink)

– 5.76 Mbps in uplink

NCHU CSE WMAN - 10

LTE (Long term evolution) • Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)

Release 8 Standards in progress (expected 2009) – a project within the 3GPP to improve the UMTS

mobile phone standard

• Air interface is a completely new systems – based on OFDMA in the downlink and Single-

carrier-FDMA (SC-FDMA has low PAPR) in the uplink that efficiently supports multi-antenna techologies (MIMO).

MS

NCHU CSE WMAN - 38

MS Mode Transition • Three Modes:

– Idle mode » allows an MS to become periodically available for DL broadcast traffic

without registration at a specific BS » MS traverses an air link environment populated by multiple BSs » allows the MS to conserve power and operational resources (such as

CID, SFID, periodic ranging…) » Listen MOB_PAG-ADV with Paging Controller ID » May perform Idle Mode Location Update Process

– Normal mode (Active mode) » MS transmits and receives packets to/from a BS.

– Sleep mode » to minimize an MS power usage and decrease usage of serving BS air

interface resources by pre-negotiated periods of absence from the serving BS air interface.

» Listen MOB_TRF-IND

• Sleep Mode operation is defined between MS and BS only – NCMS does not need to manage Sleep Mode of subscriber

• NCMS only manages MS in Normal Operation and Idle Mode

NCHU CSE WMAN - 41

Handover (HO)

• An mobile station (MS) migrates from the air-interface provided by one BS to the air interface provided by another BS

• Backbone network: – Similar to Distribution System (DS) defined in 802.11 WLAN – connect BSs – outside the scope of this standard

• Two HO variants:

– break-before-make HO: service with the target BS starts after a disconnection with the previous serving BS.

– make-before-break HO: service with the target BS starts before disconnecting to the previous serving BS.

NCHU CSE WMAN - 42

Handover (HO)

• Two HO methods: – Macro diversity handover (MDHO)

» migrate to the air-interface provided by other one or more BSs. » diversity combining on uplink and downlink at MS/BSs

– Fast BS switching (FBSS) » fast switching mechanism to improve link quality » MS is only TX/RX data to/from one active BS (anchor BS) at any

given frame. » The anchor BS can change from frame to frame depending on the

BS selection scheme. • Diversity set:

– contains a list of active BSs to the MS. – is applicable to MDHO and FBSS.

NCHU CSE WMAN - 43

BS Terms Defined in 802.16e

• Neighbor BS: – whose downlink transmission can be received by MS

• Serving BS: – MS has most recently completed registration at initial network-

entry or during a handover (HO) • Target BS:

– intends to be registered with at the end of a handover (HO) • Active BS:

– is informed of the MS capabilities, security parameters, service flows and full MAC context information.

– For macro diversity handover (MDHO), the MS TX/RX data to/from all active BSs in the diversity set.

– All involving BSs during HO • Anchor BS:

– The MS is registered, synchronized, performs ranging and monitors the downlink (DL) for control information.

– For FBSS supporting MS, this is the serving BS that is designated to transmit/receive data to/from the MS at a given frame

– Play the role of active BS, serving BS and Target BS.

NCHU CSE WMAN - 44

ID Terms Defined in 802.16e • Paging Controller ID (48-bit : MAC address of BS)

– is a logical network identifier – For the serving BS or other network entity retaining MS service and

operational information – For administering paging activity for the MS while in Idle Mode – Paging Controller ID = BSID when BS is Paging Controller

• Paging Group ID (16-bit : Cellular Network) – One or more logical affiliation grouping of BSs

• Serving BSID (48-bit) (24 : operator ID) – Used for Handover

• HOID (8-bit) – Handover Transaction ID

• Service Level Prediction Index (2-bit) – Predict capability of supporting service flows

• Power_Saving_Class (6-bit) – Associate with sleep parameters

• Power Saving Class Type (2-bit) – Associate with QoS bahavior

• SLPID (10-bit) – Used for traffic indication (directed or bit-mapping) – max. 1024 MS in sleep mode in one BS

NCHU CSE WMAN - 45

ID Terms Defined in 802.16e

• SPID (2-bit) – Subpacket ID used in HARQ

• Temp BSID (3-bit)

– BS index in BS_NBR-ADV List – Diversity Set Member ID – Used for MDHO and FBSS – Also used for fast Anchor BS selection feedback

• MBS_Zone ID

NCHU CSE WMAN - 46

Resource Frequency Assignment

• frequency assignment (FA) index – is used in combination with operator specific configuration

information provided to the MS – outside the scope of this standard

• frequency assignment (FA) – a logical assignment of downlink – DL center frequency and channel bandwidth programmed to

the BS
