[STDS-802-16] The connection granularity



Hi all,

I have a question about the connection granularity in 802.16 MAC, i.e. when
will a new connection be created? In the standard, it mentions that "All
traffic is carried on a connection, even for service flows that
implement connectionless protocols, such as Internet Protocol (IP)." But it
does not mention the granularity of the connection. For example, will a new
connection (through DSA-xxx) be created for each web browsing or all web
browsing traffic will be carried on the same transport connection? Which
way is preferred in 802.16 MAC or it is just an implementation issue?

Can anybody clarify this issue?

Best Regards,
Chi-Chen Lee
