PAR FORM (INITIAL WORKING DRAFT)
2.1 Title: Amendment to IEEE Standard for Local and Metropolitan Area Networks - Part
16: Air Interface for Broadband Wireless Access Systems – Enhancements for Machine to
Machine Communications
5.2 Scope:
This amendment proposes enhancements to the IEEE Std 802.16 for enabling Machine to
Machine (M2M) Communications between an M2M capable IEEE 802.16 subscriber station and
IEEE 802.16 base station. It proposes limited extensions to the IEEE 802.16 OFDMA MAC layer to
support the unique requirements of M2M communications. Modifications or extensions on
OFDMA PHY layer are also limited only for M2M communications purposes in order to avoid
adverse impact on the IEEE 802.16 OFDMA PHY layer. This amendment provides backward
compatibility with IEEE 802.16 Advanced Air Interface equipment.
5.4 Purpose: To enable Machine to Machine communication based applications that
require some enhancements, to support features like extremely low power consumption,
mass device transmission and addressing, small data transmissions etc.
5.5 Need for the Project: There are numerous applications like Secured Access and
Surveillance, Tracking, Tracing and Recovery, Public Safety, Payments, Healthcare,
Remote Maintenance and Control, Metering, Consumer Devices, Retail digital signage
etc. where machine to machine communications is beneficial.
8.1 Additional Explanatory Notes (Item Number and Explanation):
(Item 5.2)
Definition of Machine to Machine Communication:
This is data transmission between Subscriber stations or between a Subscriber station
and a Server in the core network through a Base Station that may be carried out without
any human interaction.
Definition of M2M Device:
A device that functions similar to a IEEE 802.16 Subscriber station that may operate
without human interaction.
Unique Requirements for M2M:
