4G (beyond 3G) / IMT Advanced
• 4G, a term used to describe the next complete evolution in wireless communications,
– is being developed to accommodate the quality of service (QoS) and rate requirements set by forthcoming applications for "anytime-anywhere".
• The 4G working group has defined the following as objectives of the 4G wireless communication standard:
– A nominal data rate of 100 Mbit/s while the client physically moves at high speeds relative to the station, and 1 Gbit/s while client and station are in relatively fixed positions
– Smooth handoff across heterogeneous networks – Seamless connectivity and global roaming across multiple
networks – High quality of service for next generation multimedia support
(real time audio, high speed data, HDTV video content, mobile TV, etc)
– An all IP, packet switched network.

HSPA (High speed packet access)
• HSPA+ boosts peak data rates to 42 Mbps on the downlink and 22 Mbps on the uplink
– Use MIMO and higher order modulation • HSDPA (D = downlink)
– 14.4 Mbps in downlink – 174 commercial networks in 76 countries – Can be achieved by software upgrade of
existing 3G networks • HSUPA (U = uplink)
– 5.76 Mbps in uplink
NCHU CSE WMAN - 10
LTE (Long term evolution) • Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP)
Release 8 Standards in progress (expected 2009) – a project within the 3GPP to improve the UMTS
mobile phone standard
• Air interface is a completely new systems – based on OFDMA in the downlink and Single-
carrier-FDMA (SC-FDMA has low PAPR) in the uplink that efficiently supports multi-antenna techologies (MIMO).

802.16e-2005 NCMS
NCHU CSE WMAN - 38
MS Mode Transition • Three Modes:
– Idle mode » allows an MS to become periodically available for DL broadcast traffic
without registration at a specific BS » MS traverses an air link environment populated by multiple BSs » allows the MS to conserve power and operational resources (such as
CID, SFID, periodic ranging…) » Listen MOB_PAG-ADV with Paging Controller ID » May perform Idle Mode Location Update Process
– Normal mode (Active mode) » MS transmits and receives packets to/from a BS.
– Sleep mode » to minimize an MS power usage and decrease usage of serving BS air
interface resources by pre-negotiated periods of absence from the serving BS air interface.
» Listen MOB_TRF-IND
• Sleep Mode operation is defined between MS and BS only – NCMS does not need to manage Sleep Mode of subscriber
• NCMS only manages MS in Normal Operation and Idle Mode
NCHU CSE WMAN - 41
Handover (HO)
• An mobile station (MS) migrates from the air-interface provided by one BS to the air interface provided by another BS
• Backbone network: – Similar to Distribution System (DS) defined in 802.11 WLAN – connect BSs – outside the scope of this standard
• Two HO variants:
– break-before-make HO: service with the target BS starts after a disconnection with the previous serving BS.
– make-before-break HO: service with the target BS starts before disconnecting to the previous serving BS.
NCHU CSE WMAN - 42
Handover (HO)
• Two HO methods: – Macro diversity handover (MDHO)
» migrate to the air-interface provided by other one or more BSs. » diversity combining on uplink and downlink at MS/BSs
– Fast BS switching (FBSS) » fast switching mechanism to improve link quality » MS is only TX/RX data to/from one active BS (anchor BS) at any
given frame. » The anchor BS can change from frame to frame depending on the
BS selection scheme. • Diversity set:
– contains a list of active BSs to the MS. – is applicable to MDHO and FBSS.
NCHU CSE WMAN - 43
BS Terms Defined in 802.16e
• Neighbor BS: – whose downlink transmission can be received by MS
• Serving BS: – MS has most recently completed registration at initial network-
entry or during a handover (HO) • Target BS:
– intends to be registered with at the end of a handover (HO) • Active BS:
– is informed of the MS capabilities, security parameters, service flows and full MAC context information.
– For macro diversity handover (MDHO), the MS TX/RX data to/from all active BSs in the diversity set.
– All involving BSs during HO • Anchor BS:
– The MS is registered, synchronized, performs ranging and monitors the downlink (DL) for control information.
– For FBSS supporting MS, this is the serving BS that is designated to transmit/receive data to/from the MS at a given frame
– Play the role of active BS, serving BS and Target BS.
NCHU CSE WMAN - 44
ID Terms Defined in 802.16e • Paging Controller ID (48-bit : MAC address of BS)
– is a logical network identifier – For the serving BS or other network entity retaining MS service and
operational information – For administering paging activity for the MS while in Idle Mode – Paging Controller ID = BSID when BS is Paging Controller
• Paging Group ID (16-bit : Cellular Network) – One or more logical affiliation grouping of BSs
• Serving BSID (48-bit) (24 : operator ID) – Used for Handover
• HOID (8-bit) – Handover Transaction ID
• Service Level Prediction Index (2-bit) – Predict capability of supporting service flows
• Power_Saving_Class (6-bit) – Associate with sleep parameters
• Power Saving Class Type (2-bit) – Associate with QoS bahavior
• SLPID (10-bit) – Used for traffic indication (directed or bit-mapping) – max. 1024 MS in sleep mode in one BS

• Temp BSID (3-bit)
– BS index in BS_NBR-ADV List – Diversity Set Member ID – Used for MDHO and FBSS – Also used for fast Anchor BS selection feedback
• MBS_Zone ID
NCHU CSE WMAN - 46
Resource Frequency Assignment
• frequency assignment (FA) index – is used in combination with operator specific configuration
information provided to the MS – outside the scope of this standard

the BS
