stds-802-16-tg3: Information about Burst Profile
Hi at all,
I'm a graduate student, I'm wonking on the 802.16 mac with its amendment
802.16a, 802.16d and 802.16e for the implementation of it into NS2 (Network
Simulator).
Studying the burst profile, I have found some lacks of understanding, and
so I hope someone help me about them:
1) Have all the connections in the downlink (or uplink) for a SS the same
burst profile?
2) Have all three management connections the same burst profile ? Or, has
each of them its own fixed burst profile, and what are these three burst
profiles ?
3) With reference to the figure 57 of 802.16 standard (or 78 in
802.16-Revd/D3 ), about the transition to a more robust burst profile, why
does SS continue monitoring DL data through old DIUC, while BS sends data
with new DIUC ? Does SS be able to receive data with new DIUC ? If yes,
Does it provide for some buffers to store data received with different
burst profile ?
Excuse me for the much questions.
Thanks in advance.
