Outline
– Achievements since IETF-68
– 16ng mailing list
– New revision: draft-ietf-16ng-ip-over-ethernetover-802.16-02.txt
– Adoption of RFC4605
– Deployment of link layer multicast (MBS)
– Conclusion and next steps
Achievements
• Feedback after IETF-68 showed good
understanding and agreement on network
model for IPoETH in IEEE802.16
• No severe issues detected in I-D
– Separation of QoS differentiation and
forwarding decision
– Forwarding decision in bridge behind BS

16ng mailing list
• Only a few postings related to IPoETH-CS
– Ambiguities in description of multicast
behavior of IEEE802.16
New Revision:
draft-ietf-16ng-ip-over-ethernet-over-802.16-02.txt
• Introduction of normative language
– Main goal for -02 revision
• Editorial clarifications
• Adoption of RFC4605 for IGMP/MLD
proxying
• Appendix on ‘Multicast CID Deployment
Considerations’
– to show why multicast CIDs are not deployed
for IPoETH-CS
Adoption of RFC4605
• Issue:
– RFC4541 on IGMP/MLD snooping switches is
Informational RFC
• not suited for normative references
– RFC4605 on IGMP/MLD proxying is aimed for routers
in simple tree topologies
• Ethernet Network Model for IEEE802.16 fits well
into simple tree topology
– RFC4605 mechanisms has been adopted to bridge
behind base stations
• still keeping RFC4541 as informational reference
Appendix:
Issues of Multicast CIDs/MBS
• Incompatibility with advanced radio layer
algorithms based on feedback information
from the receiver
– HARQ
– MIMO
• Incompatibility with advanced antenna
systems
cont...
Issues of Multicast CIDs/MBS
• Increased interference level
– Higher power needed due to missing HARQ
• Less efficient with mobile terminals
– CID must be configured to provide sufficient
signal to noise ratio to the most distant
terminal.
– With moving terminals the radio transmission
characteristics may change and may require
frequent re-adjustments of the radio link
parameters.
cont...
Issues of Multicast CIDs/MBS
• Loss of Idle Mode for inactive terminals
– Terminals have to process multicast CIDs
even when ‘meaningless’ information is
transferred
• Increased complexity for the whole system
– Multicast CIDs require management of group
keys
Conclusion and next steps
• Revision -02 provides essential
enhancements (normative language)
• Concept of IPoETH-CS has been shown
to be quite mature
• draft-ietf-16ng-ip-over-ethernet-over802.16-02.txt is ready for WGLC
