This contribution proposes modification of S-SFH SP contents for upgrading the air interface from
802.16e to 802.16m without impacting the deployed ASN-GWs and CSN.
Therefore, a BS implementing 802.16m specification can be connected to an Legacy ASN-GWs and
CSN or ASN-GWs and CSN based on WiMAX Forum profiles for IEEE 802.16m. As the BS needs to be able to page the idle mode AMSs irrespective of its ASN-GWs and CSN that it is connected to, the
AAI_PAG-ADV message shall have the capability to address the idle mode AMSs using the identification in both legacy system as well as in IEEE 802.16m system.
This contribution proposes modifications to the AAI_PAG-ADV so that a 16m BS can address the idle mode AMSs using the identification in both legacy system as well as in IEEE 802.16m system.
------------------------------- Proposed Text Start ---------------------------------------------------
[Note to Editor: Add the following parameter to table 756- Parameters for AAI_PAG-ADV message format , page 263]
Table 802: S-SFH SP2 IE Format
Syntax
Legacy ASN indicator
MS MAC Address hash
Size (bit)
1
24
Notes
Indicates whether the ABS is connected to legacy ASN or advanced ASN.
Value of “0” means ABS is connected to advanced ASN.
Value of “1” means ABS is connected to legacy ASN.
The hash is obtained by computing a CRC24 on the MS 48-bit MAC address. The polynomial for the calculation is
0x1864CFB.
This field is present only when Legacy ASN indicator == 1.
