Introduction
• Section 6.1.3.4 of 802.16n SRD:
– “HR-Network shall support establishment and maintenance of
alternative paths to support fast recovery in the event of disruption; for
example, encountering intermediate HR-MS failure or movement.. HRNetwork shall provide the capability to choose the most reliable path. ”
• Recovery cannot be fast if the affected HR-RS or HR-MS uses 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
• HR-BS sets up fast network entry along alternative paths
• Send information to HR-MS / HR-RS
• Send information to target access station along alternative path
• Optimized HO process can be reused
• Stored Information
• PHY channel parameters (channel, frequency, …)
• Accelerates PHY scanning, DL and UL synchronization
• SS-specific information
• MS context for optimized HO process
• Security keys: TEK
• Target access along alternative path
• Identify fast network entry from BSID+STID in AAI-RNG-REQ message
• Perform optimized HO process
Proposed Text
• Refer to document C802.16n-11/0095r1.doc
