• SBCH indicate the position of MBS-zone which may span over
multiple subframes

Frame Structure – MBS-Dedicated Carrier

SBCH indicate the essential information about the dedicated carrier such as frequency band,
FFT size etc
Interactive Signaling between MS and the network is carried outside this dedicated carrier.

•
Such L2 and Upper layer signaling to support MBS service may be exchanged using a unicast/mixed
carrier as a primary carrier. See Figure:
Preamble on dedicated carrier is generated by repeating the 5M 16m preamble with different

Mixed/Unicast Carrier supporting Dedicated
Broadcast Carrier
•
•
An MBS deployment in which dedicated MBS carriers are combined with unicast/MBS mixed carriers.
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.

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 bust locations in up to N super-frames later within the transmission cycle
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.

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.

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

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
