Introduction
In current SDD, many terms regarding MS, BS and RS are used interchangeably without proper definitions. This
contribution proposes definitions for MS, BS and RS based on definitions in SRD. There are three remedies
proposed for discussions. The definitions have been defined in SRD are marked “as defined in SRD”.
Text Proposal
[Remedy 1]
3. Definition, Symbols, Abbreviation
Definition:
3.1
WirelessMAN-OFDMA Reference System: as defined in SRD.
3.2
Legacy MS (16e MS): as defined in SRD
3.3
Legacy RS (16j RS): A relay station (RS) compliant with the IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN OFDMA
specification specified by IEEE 802.16-2004 and amended by IEEE 802.16e-2005, IEEE 802.16Cor2/D3
and IEEE 802.16j
3.4
Legacy BS (16e BS): as defined in SRD
3.5
Legacy MR-BS (16j BS): A base station (BS) compliant with the IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN OFDMA
specification specified by IEEE 802.16-2004 and amended by IEEE 802.16e-2005, IEEE 802.16Cor2/D3
and IEEE 802.16j
3.6
IEEE 802.16m MS (16m MS): as defined in SRD
3.7
IEEE 802.16m RS (16m RS): A relay station (RS) compliant with the IEEE 802.16 WirelessMAN
OFDMA specification specified by IEEE 802.16-2004 and amended by IEEE 802.16e-2005, IEEE
802.16Cor2/D3 and IEEE 802.16m
3.8
IEEE 802.16m BS (16m BS): as defined in SRD
3.9
Legacy Zone (16e/16j zone): A positive integer number of consecutive subframes where IEEE 802.16m
BS communicates with legacy RS or legacy MS, and where IEEE 802.16m RS communicates with a
1
IEEE 802.16m-08/883r2
legacy MS
3.10 IEEE 802.16m Zone (16m zone): A positive integer number of consecutive subframes where IEEE
802.16m BS communicates with IEEE 802.16m RS or IEEE 802.16m MS, and where IEEE 802.16m RS
communicates with other IEEE 802.16m entities (i.e. IEEE 802.16m BS, IEEE 802.16m RS or IEEE
802.16mMS)
