Introductions • E-MBS configuration information that can facilitate continuous reception of E-MBS data or seamless interMBS zone transition is carried in AAI_NBR-ADV or AAI_E-MBS-CFG message • However, idle AMSs have to interpret each A-A-MAP to receive the E-MBS-related configuration information or they will miss them – Current E-MBS design does not consider the interests of idle AMSs • In order to facilitate E-MBS reception for idle AMSs, E-MBS configuration information shall be advertised at a pre-determined location Transmission of AAI_E-MBS-CFG • In this proposal, the E-MBS CFG indicator is included in the E-MBS MAP to notify AMSs the presence of AAI_E-MBS-CFG message – AAI_E-MBS-CFG may be transmitted periodically or when needed • AAI_E-MBS-CFG is transmitted in the next DL subframe following E-MBS region – AMSs in connected state and idle state can receive AAI_EMBS-CFG E-MBS MAP E-MBS CFG indicator A-A-MAP AAI_E-MBS-CFG E-MBS region DL sub-frame Transmission of AAI_E-MBS-CFG • The E-MBS CFG indicator is included in the E-MBS MAP, so it is part of macro diversity content – If E-MBS CFG indicator is set, all ABSs in an E-MBS zone shall transmit the AAI_E-MBS-CFG in the next DL sub-frame following the E-MBS region – The E-MBS configuration information will be transmitted/updated at the same frame and we can prevent from inconsistency Proposed text for P802.16m/D2 • [Modify Table 788 as indicated:] Syntax Size in bits Description/Notes E-MBS-MAP () { - - EMBS-Zone-ID 7 The EMBS Zone ID to which this EMBS MAP apply [TBD] The length of an MSI is 2m+3 superframes E-MBS CFG indicator 1 0b0: AAI_E-MBS-CFG is NOT present 0b1: AAI_E-MBS-CFG is transmitted in the next DL subframe following E-MBS region E-MBS_DATA_IE() - - MSI Length (m) } Padding variable Padding to reach byte boundary Proposed text for P802.16m/D2 • [Modify the following text in Line 63, p.584 to Line 6, p.585 as indicated :] 15.9.3.2 E-MBS Zone Configuration When the E-MBS Zone identifier list appears in AAI_NBR_ADV message with only one value of '0' for some of ABS's, it indicates that the corresponding neighbor ABSs are not affiliated with any E-MBS zone. The ABS sends AAI_DSA for establishment of connection for E-MBS, EMBS ZONE shall be encoded in the AAI-DSA message. One ABS may have multiple E-MBS Zone IDs for different E-MBS services. To support inter-MBS zone transition, AMSs need to get E-MBS_Zone_IDs to which the neighboring ABS’s belong as well as any flow continuity across such neighboring zone. E-MBS configuration information that facilitates continuous reception of E-MBS data or seamless inter-MBS zone transition is carried in AAI_E-MBS-CFG message. AAI_E-MBS-CFG may be transmitted periodically or when it is needed. If AAI_E-MBS-CFG is transmitted, the Assignment A-MAP in the next DL subframe following the E-MBS region shall indicate the allocation of AAI_E-MBS-CFG message. The E-MBS CFG indicator shall be set to 0b1 if AAI_E-MBS-CFG is transmitted, otherwise it shall be set to 0b0.
