Terminology
• SS (Subscriber Station)
– An end-user equipment that provides connectivity to IEEE 802.16 based network.
• BS (Base Station)
– A layer 2 entity providing connectivity, management, and control of the subscriber
station.
• IP Gateway
– A layer 3 entity that acts as a first-hop default router for SSs.
• IP Subnet
– Topological area that uses the same address prefix where that prefix is not further
subdivided except into individual addresses.
• Link
– Topological area bounded by routers which decrement the IPv4 TTL or IPv6 Hop
Limit when forwarding the packet.
• Transport Connection
– IEEE 802.16’s MAC connection between a SS and BS with a specific QoS
attributes. Each transport connection is identified by an unique identifier called
connection identifier.

IEEE 802.16 PMP Link Layer
• No native bi-directional multicast support
• No direct communication between MS/SSs
• Connection-oriented MAC
– Connections always between MS/SS and BS
• MAC PDUs are transferred according to CID
– 48-bit MAC addresses are not used for transmission
• Ethernet CS does not provide Ethernet functionality over the air
– Specifies only encapsulation and classification of Ethernet Frames for
transmission over CIDs

16ng Problem Statement
1. Distinctive feature of 802.16 link
•
•
•
•
No native bi-directional multicast support
No direct communication between SSs
Connections always between SS and BS
48-bit MAC addresses are not used for transmission
2. Ethernet CS does not provide the Ethernet-like functionality.
3. Air resource consumption from the previous multicast/broadcast
based IPv6 NDP and IPv4 ARP
4. Power consumption caused by waking up of dormant terminals
5. No single mandatory CS on the SS.
6. Multilink subnet issues when using IP CS for Ethernet-like
deployment model.

16ng Goals
1. Work on Ethernet CS should provide interoperability with existing
devices that employ Ethernet .
2. Define an enhanced IPv6 NDP under considering scarce air
resources.
3. Define enhanced IPv4 ARP under considering scarce air
resources.
4. Reduce the power consumption caused by waking up of dormant
terminals
5. Resolve the multilink subnet issues when using IP CS for
Ethernet-like deployment model.
6. Consider the applicability of the previous security works like
SEND.
7. Do not introduce any new security threats.

used.

16ng Network Models
•
•
•
•
Baseline is how to constitute an IP subnet over IEEE 802.16
PMP links.
Ethernet-like deployment model
–
–
IP subnet consists of one IP Gateway and multiple SSs.
Both IP CS and Ethernet CS are applicable.
•
•
IP CS: Need to resolve the multilink subnet issues.
Ethernet CS: Based on the bridging function at BS.
3G-like deployment model
–
–
IP Gateway assigns separate IP subnet prefixes for each SS.
IP CS seems more applicable.
–
–
Physical relationship between BS and IP Gateway.
Resolution: Informational texts on deployment model I-D.
