IPv4 CS is responsible for the transmission and
reception of IPv4 packets

The following are the list of functions of IPv4 CS


802.16 MAC CPS
Source and Destination IPv4 addresses
Source and Destinations Ports
Type-of-Service
IP Protocol Filed
Classification of an IPv4 packet to an appropriate MAC
Connection
Suppression of IPv4 Header, called Payload Header
Suppression (PHS) (optional)
Delivery of the resulting IPv4 CS PDU to the MAC-CPS SAP
to delivery to the peer MAC-CPS SAP.
Receipt of the IPv4 CS PDU from the MAC-CS SAP

H: Header Type (1 bit), 0 - Generic
MAC PDU
E: Encryption Control
R: Reserved. Shall be set to zero
C: CRC Indicator
EKS: Encryption Key Sequence
LEN: The Length in bytes of the MAC
PDU including the MAC header and
the CRC if present (11 bits)
CID: Connection Identifier (16 bits)
HCS: Header Check Sequence (8 bits)
CRC: An optional 8-bit field. CRC
appended to the PDU after
encryption.
Type: This field indicates the
subheaders (Mesh subheader,
Fragmentation Subheader, Packing
subheader etc) and special payload
types (ARQ) present in the message
payload
Address Assignment

Each MS is assigned an unique IPv4 address
using DHCP



This may be a private IPv4 address routable only within the
service provider network
NAT support for Internet Connectivity
DHCP is run over initial MAC transport
connection



The initial MAC transport connection is established as soon as MS
completes its network entry procedures
It is p2p connection between MS and AR, hence the DHCP
packets reach AR irrespective the DHCP destination address
AR shall implement DHCP relay to forward the DHCP request to
the DHCP server
Address Mapping


Mapping of multicast IP address to MAC address
802.16 MAC address is not used for the data
path


Instead it uses the Connection ID (CID)
Hence no mapping is required
Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)


ARP is not required for IPv4 CS, as MAC address
is not used for data path.
All MSs with IPv4 support SHOULD be configured
with a default router (AR)



So that all packets will go through the AR and normal routing
process
DHCP should be used to configure the default gateway
If an MS tries to do address resolution, the AR
should support Proxy ARP as defined in RFC
