Mechanisms of the Physical Layer
• Robust Error Control Mechanism
• Adaptive Modulation and Coding
• Space -Time Block Codes (STBC)
• Adaptive Antenna System (AAS)
![Page 26: Chapter 4 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks...Wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) • Wireless Metropolitan area networks (WMANs) are large computer networks connected by](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042917/5f59029ce37bb849c63093fd/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Robust Error Control Mechanism
• Two phases:
– The outer Reed-Solomon code corrects burst errors at the level of bytes.
– The inner convolutional code corrects independent bit errors.
![Page 27: Chapter 4 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks...Wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) • Wireless Metropolitan area networks (WMANs) are large computer networks connected by](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042917/5f59029ce37bb849c63093fd/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Adaptive Modulation and Coding
• WiMAX supports a variety of modulation (BPSK, QPSA, 16 QAM, …) and coding schemes and allows for the scheme to change on a burst-by-burst basis per link, depending on channel conditions.
• Using the channel feedback indicator, the subscriber station (SS) can provide the BS with feedback on the downlink channel quality.
• For the uplink, the BS can estimate the channel quality, based on the received signal quality.
Downlink
Uplink
![Page 28: Chapter 4 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks...Wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) • Wireless Metropolitan area networks (WMANs) are large computer networks connected by](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042917/5f59029ce37bb849c63093fd/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Space-Time Bloc Codes (STBC)
• Space-time codes combine spatial and temporal signal copies.
• The signal copy is not transmitted only from another antenna but also at another time.
• The delayed transmission is called delayed diversity.
• Improve performance.
![Page 29: Chapter 4 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks...Wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) • Wireless Metropolitan area networks (WMANs) are large computer networks connected by](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042917/5f59029ce37bb849c63093fd/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Adaptive Antenna System (AAS)
• Used with OFDM
• Each of the antennas transmits one group of
subcarriers
• Receivers provide transmitters with feedback (Cf.
next slide)
• A BS can serve multiple SSs
![Page 30: Chapter 4 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks...Wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) • Wireless Metropolitan area networks (WMANs) are large computer networks connected by](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042917/5f59029ce37bb849c63093fd/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
WiMAX signal transmission scenario
using AAS
• AAS works by adjusting the width and the angle of the antenna radiation
pattern.
• It can focus its transmission energy to the direction of the receiver.
• SSs deliver quality channel feedback.
![Page 31: Chapter 4 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks...Wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) • Wireless Metropolitan area networks (WMANs) are large computer networks connected by](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042917/5f59029ce37bb849c63093fd/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
MAC Layer
• IEEE 802.16 MAC
– designed for P2MP broadband wireless access applications
– to provide an interface between the higher layers and the
physical layer
– describes a number of Convergence Sub-Layers (i.e., how
wireline technologies such as Ethernet, IP, ATM,…are
encapsulated on the air interface, etc.)
– describes how secure communications are delivered
– include power saving mechanisms (using sleep mode and
idle mode) and handover

Channelization (recall MAC Common Part
Sublayer - MAC CPS) • Differentiate between MAC frame and WiMAX (TDMA) frame
• TDMA frame consists of a sequence of time slots, each dedicated to a given subscriber.
• A TDMA time slot may contain exactly one MAC frame, a fraction of a MAC frame, or multiple MAC frames.
• The sequence of time slots across multiple TDMA frames that is dedicated to one subscriber forms a logical channel, and MAC frames are transmitted over that logical channel.
SS1 SS2 SS3 … … … … …. … SSn time
SS1 SS2 … SSn SS1 SS2 … SSn time
SS1: logical channel 1 SS2: logical channel 2 SSn: logical channel n
![Page 33: Chapter 4 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks...Wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) • Wireless Metropolitan area networks (WMANs) are large computer networks connected by](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042917/5f59029ce37bb849c63093fd/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
WiMAX frame
• WiMAX Frame consists of two sub-frames
– uplink (UL) sub-frame
– downlink (DL) sub-frame
• Initial maintenance: first access by stations to detect round-trip time to BS as well as necessary transmission power (random choice of a time slot in that field by backoff mechanism). Collisions are possible.
• Request contention: demands reservations in coming UL maps (backoff mechanism). Collisions are possible.
![Page 34: Chapter 4 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks...Wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) • Wireless Metropolitan area networks (WMANs) are large computer networks connected by](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042917/5f59029ce37bb849c63093fd/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
MAC Quality of Service (QoS)
• A key feature of 802.16 is that it is a connection-oriented technology. The SS cannot transmit data until it has been allocated a channel by the BS.
• 802.16e provides strong support for QoS.
• QoS is supported by allocating each connection between the SS and the BS to a specific QoS class.
![Page 35: Chapter 4 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks...Wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) • Wireless Metropolitan area networks (WMANs) are large computer networks connected by](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042917/5f59029ce37bb849c63093fd/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
MAC Quality of Service (QoS)
(Contd..)
IEEE 802.16 MAC Layer defines five service
classes
• Unsolicited Grant Service (UGS)
• Real-time Polling Service (rtPS)
• Extended Real-time Polling Service (ertPS)
• Non-real-time Polling Service (nrtPS)

Unsolicited Grant Service (UGS)
• The BS provides fixed size bursts in the UL at periodic
intervals for the service flow (which eliminates the overhead and latency of SS request ).
• Typical application: VoIP (without silence suppression)
![Page 37: Chapter 4 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks...Wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) • Wireless Metropolitan area networks (WMANs) are large computer networks connected by](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042917/5f59029ce37bb849c63093fd/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
Real-time Polling Service (rtPS)
• Supports variable size grants for optimum data transport efficiency.
• Allows the SS to specify the size of the desired UL .
• Application: streaming video.
![Page 38: Chapter 4 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks...Wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) • Wireless Metropolitan area networks (WMANs) are large computer networks connected by](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042917/5f59029ce37bb849c63093fd/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)

Non-real-time Polling Service
(nrtPS)
• Supports non-real time service flows that require variable size bursts in the UL on a regular (but not strictly periodic) basis.
• SSs contend for bandwidth (for UL) transmission during contention request opportunities.
![Page 40: Chapter 4 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks...Wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) • Wireless Metropolitan area networks (WMANs) are large computer networks connected by](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042917/5f59029ce37bb849c63093fd/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Best Effort (BE) service
• It is intended to be used for best effort traffic
where no throughput or delay guarantees are provided.
• SSs contend for bandwidth (for UL) transmission during contention request opportunities.
![Page 41: Chapter 4 Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks...Wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) • Wireless Metropolitan area networks (WMANs) are large computer networks connected by](https://reader034.fdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022042917/5f59029ce37bb849c63093fd/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
Scheduling
• Two types of scheduling
– Centralized - base station assigns capacity to the other
stations
– Decentralized - stations exchange scheduling information
with their neighbors
