The Mixed carrier : – – – – – Carries Information about any MBS zones embedded in the same carrier It may also provide minimum radio configuration of dedicated MBS carrier to help with unicast/MBS mixed operation. It may also support interactive signaling between MS and the network to support subcription, authentication, session join and leave etc. Note: Out of band signaling for MBS subscription, registration/updates which require DL/UL exchanges may also be used when dedicated MBS only carriers are deployed. This is outside the scope of 802.16m specifications. The mixed carrier serves as primary carrier to the user whereas broad only carrier serves as secondary carrier, consistent with multicarrier definitions in SDD. Broadcast Optimized Carrier RFC3 Unicast/Mixed Carrier (Primary) RFC1 Unicast/Mixed Carrier (Primary) RFC2 Mixed Carrier Combined with Dedicated Broadcast Only Carriers Unicast/Mixed Carrier (Primary) RFC1 8 MBS Control Channel • PBCH: – – • SBCH – – • Points to the beginning of MBS zone and its PHY parameters in the current superframe Helps with MS synchronization with MBS transmission cycle. MCCH (MBS Control Channel) – – – • Indicates if a carrier is broadcast only or can not be used for MS’s entry to the network. This help with faster scanning and selection of mixed unicast/MBS carriers. Alternatively certain preamble indexes can be reserved for broadcast only carriers which can not used a primary carriers for access. Indicates physical layer parameters of MBS data channels for each service using joint coding. MCCH is transmitted at the beginning of MBS resource during one MBS transmission cycle. MCCH can point to burst locations in up to N super-frames later within the transmission period Design advantages: – – – Minimize SBCH overhead. Can exploit coding gain for MCCH since all controls are coded together. No link adaptation issue since MCCH need cell-wide coverage. Data SBCH MCCH Data Burst 2 Data Burst 1 Data Burst n Burst 3 Period T 9 Private Map for Power Saving • In addition to MCCH transmission at the beginning of each every cycle a Private MAP mechanism is used to indicate the physical layer parameters and transmission time of the same service at next period. • Using the Private MAP the MS can skip reading MCCH to save more power. MCCH Private MAP Private MAP Data Data Burst 1 Burst n Period n MCCH Private MAP Private MAP Data Data Burst 1 Burst n Period n+1 10 OFDM Numerology • OFDM numerology is the same as unicast service in mixed carrier • Support of larger FFT size for MBSFN in dedicated carrier with long range – Much longer delay spread in MBSFN with 50km range – Fixed CP length to assign subframe boundary – For 10M bandwidth, support • 2K FFT – 3 OFDM symbols per subframe • 4K FFT – 3 OFDM symbols every two subframes 11 Resource Allocation • Use 16m DL distributed allocation across subframe – One LRU is 18x6, which consists of subcarriers distributed across whole band – Same pilot overhead as DL. Common pilot for all MBS users – Same permutation sequence as mapping subcarriers to LRU – Support of interlaced pilot pattern for Single-BS MBS • Subchannel allocation per MBS service is across multiple sub-frames within one MBS transmission period T for time diversity 12 Pilot Structure Pilot stream1 Pilot stream2 1 1 1 2 2 1 2 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 2 2 1 1 2 1 1 2 2 1 2 (a) 3 5 1 3 5 1 3 5 1 3 5 4 6 2 4 6 2 4 6 2 4 6 2 5 1 3 5 1 3 5 1 3 5 1 3 2 4 6 2 4 6 2 4 6 2 4 6 3 5 1 3 5 1 3 5 1 3 5 1 2 4 6 2 4 6 2 4 6 2 4 (b) 6 (c) Interlace pilot pattern for single-BS MBS network Pilot pattern for Multi-BS MBS network 13 MBS Feedback • Statistical NACK feedback – Statistical NACK feedback to support link adaptation and HARQ • Improved performance in single-BS MBS • NACK-only feedback based on feedback transmission probability to reduce feedback overhead – Multiple short-bit contention slots are allocated for MBS UL feedback per MBS service – BS estimates total number of NACK feedback by detecting code words received. • Delivery ACK – This ACK can be a higher layer ACK and may not need a PHY channel 14 MBS Feedback Gain (Single-BS Access): Throughput vs. Coverage Throughput increase with HARQ for 95% coverage 15 MIMO Schemes • 2 spatial streams multiplexing is supported – Higher throughout with small cell range – SCW MIMO scheme • Support hierarchical encoding though superposition coding – High priority traffic is transmitted with higher power – Low priority traffic is transmitted with lower power – Good users use IC scheme to get both high/low priority stream 16 Large Code Size Support • Large coding block is beneficial MBS – Particular useful in Multi-BS SFN without retransmission – Additional coding gain and better time diversity – Widely adopted in current broadcasting standard: DVB T2, MediaFlo, CMMB – block size up to 9126 bits – Support LDPC optimized for large coding block size 17 Review of text proposal 18 Text Recommendations for SDD Section 11 (1) 15.x: EMBS frame structure for mixed carrier • Insert the figure “frame structure - mixed carrier” here • For mixed carrier case, MBS and unicast traffic are TDM multiplexed on subframe base. • SBCH indicates the positions of MBS-zone which may span multiple subframes.
