Remedy for inconsistency between text and figure for Inter-BS
coordination functional block

Problem
In IEEE 802.16 session #55, members reached the consensus that adopted Inter-BS coordination functional
block in MAC layer[1][2]. However, inconsistency opinions for the location and interaction of this functional
block impeded incorporation of it into the figures of protocol structure. Here we address this problem in order to
raise members’ interests on it and strive to reach consensus.
Remedy
Considering already proposed contributions to TGm, functional blocks interacted with Inter-BS coordination
functional block include Interference management block, Self-Organization block, Mobility management block,

IEEE C802.16m-08/553
Security management block, and Scheduler block. Therefore, such relationship should be reflected in the figures
of protocol structure.
