Re:
Abstract
Proposes the deletion of references to moving BS mode because the definition of the mode is
incomplete.

Proposed Text Changes for Removal of Moving BS Mode

Proposal
The concept of Moving BS mode is mentioned in subclauses 1.4.3 MR Protocol, 6.3.2.3.23 SS and RS basic
capability request (SBC-REQ) message, 6.3.2.3.24 SS and RS basic capability response (SBC-RSP) message,
6.3.22.4.1 Operation modes of mobile relay station, and 11.8.9 Mobile RS mode support. This mode is defined
in subclause 6.3.22.4.1.2 as a mode in which an RS implements the complete 16e protocol stack and terminates
transport connections and security associations. As the name of the mode implies, the RS operates as a moving
base station.
The draft does not specify how such an RS should operate in relation to the MR-BS. Connection establishment
procedures, packet forwarding procedures, ARQ and HARQ operations are not specified for this type of RS.

IEEE C802.16j-07/441r1
Furthermore, it is not clear whether this type of RS is really an RS or whether it is a BS. It is not clear that the
specification of BS to BS communications is within the scope of 16j.
It is proposed that references to Moving BS mode be deleted from the draft.
Text Proposal
1.4.3 MR Protocol
[Delete figure 2b and change text in subclause 1.4.3 as indicated below:]
A relay station may implement the R-MAC sub-layer, or MAC CPS function and MAC CS function.
6.3.2.3.23 SS and RS basic capability request (SBC-REQ) message
[Delete the following text from subclause 6.3.2.3.23]
The following parameter may be included:
Mobile RS Mode
This parameter is sent by a mobile RS to indicate its capability of support moving RS mode or
moving BS mode.
6.3.2.3.24 SS and RS basic capability response (SBC-RSP) message
[Delete the following text from subclause 6.3.2.3.24]
The following parameter may be included:
Mobile RS Mode
This parameter is sent by a mobile RS to indicate its capability of support moving RS mode or
moving BS mode.
6.3.22.4.1 Operation modes of mobile relay station
[Delete subclause 6.3.22.4.1 and subclauses 6.3.22.4.1.1 and 6.3.22.4.1.2]11.8.9 Mobile RS mode support
[Change Value field in table in subclause 11.8.9 as indicated]
Bit #0: moving RS mode
Bit #1: moving BS mode
Bits #21-7 Reserved
