•
Maintain backward compatibility with the 802.16e Reference System
through maximal reuse of existing functional components/protocols and at
the same time using new features where necessary to achieve the
performance targets.
Multi-radio coexistence-aware system architecture which allows efficient
coordination of collocated radio access technologies on the user device.
Relay-enabled architecture with unified access and relay links for optimal
two-hop operation.
Different multi-carrier deployment options including support of contiguous
and non-contiguous RF bands with single MAC instantiation.
Flexibility for future enhancements and extensions
Data and control plane protocols are specified separately.
Unified support of FDD, TDD, and H-FDD duplex mode with common
baseband processing
Unified single-user and multi-user MIMO structure (single stream and/or
multi-stream processing) for support of advanced multi-antenna techniques.
Provisions for data-plane and control-plane ciphering protocols.
Structured layer 2 functionalities where MAC common part sub-layer is
extended and split into two functional groups (alternatively MAC CPS
functions are softly classified into two categories).

Definition of Protocol Layers
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
Physical Layer
– A set of functions/protocols for encoding/decoding, modulation/demodulation, MIMO
processing, …, and transmission/reception of traffic and control signals.
Security Sub-Layer
– A set of L2 functions/protocols for encryption/decryption and authentication of user MSDUs.
Medium Access Control Functions
– A subset of E-MAC CPS comprising functions/protocols such as measurement, link
adaptation, scheduling, error control , ranging, QoS, flow control, airlink management, etc.
Resource Control and Management Functions
– A subset of E-MAC CPS comprising radio resource control and management functions and
protocols such as mobility management, load control, admission control, radio resource
management, etc.
Convergence Sub-Layer
– A set of data plane protocols that interface E-MAC CPS with layer 3 protocols. These
functions include robust header compression, traffic classification, etc.
Data Plane
– These are the protocols implementing the actual data bearer service, i.e. carrying user data
through the access stratum.
Control Plane
– These are the protocols for controlling the data bearers and the connection between the MS
and the network from different aspects (including requesting the service, controlling different
transmission resources, handover etc.).
