1. Introduction
This proposal provides clarification of functions of Service Flow and Connection Management (SFCM) block
and Radio Resource Management (RRM) block in SDD.
In the current 802.16m SDD draft, RRM block is defined, and it performs admission control, load control, and
interference control. However, all functions in RRM block can be covered by other functional blocks. For
example, admission control and load control can be handled by SFCM block during connection setup, and
interference control can be performed by PHY Control block.
Therefore, we propose to remove RRM block, and to refine the description of SFCM block for the protocol
structure.

2. Proposed Text for SDD
Replace the description of Service Flow and Connection Management block (page 24, line 34
through line 36) as follows:
Service Flow and Connection Management block manages service flow creation/update/deletion, and allocates
connection identifiers (CIDs) during initialization/handover/service flow creation procedures. This block also
performs admission control and load control during connection setup. Service Flow and Connection
Management block interacts with convergence sublayer to classify MAC Service Data Unit (MSDU) from upper
layer, and mapsto map MSDU onto a particular transport connection.
Delete line 14 through line 15 in page 24 (description of RRM block)
Remove RRM block in Figure 4, 5, 6, 14, 15, and 16.
