Introduction • Section 6.1.1 of 802.16n SRD: – “Ability to dynamically change roles shall be included as defined in this clause.” – “6.1.1.1 Relay function for HR-BS” – “6.1.1.2 Relay function for HR-MS (RS Mode)” – “6.1.1.3 Base Station function for HR-MS (BS Mode)” • Mode changes are temporary • Resume original mode when disruption is repaired. • Resource and time consuming using regular network entry • Scanning and determining physical channel parameters. • Likely to have several stations joining simultaneously. • High contention • Wasted bandwidth • High latency Fast network entry • Stored Information from previous mode • PHY channel parameters (channel, frequency, …) • Accelerates PHY scanning, DL and UL synchronization • Assigned (not dedicated) ranging slots and subchannels or codes • SS-specific information • MS context for optimized HO process • Security keys: TEK, … • HR-BS with relay function • Sets up fast network entry for subordinate stations • HR-MS with relay function • Fast network entry to previous HR-BS or new HR-BS • Sets up fast network entry for subordinate stations • HR-MS with BS function • Fast network entry to previous HR-BS • Sets up fast network entry for subordinate stations Proposed Text • Refer to document C802.16n-11/0096r1.doc
