This is correct.

      Section 6.1 of the standard states that " In addition to
      individually addressed messages, messages may also be sent on
      multicast connections (control messages and video
      distribution are examples of multicast applications) as well
      as broadcast to all stations."

       

      Correct me if I'm wrong, but broadcast transmission is
      limited to MAC management messages (MAPs, DCD,...) and can't
      be used to transfer data. Therefore, the only way to
      broadcast data is to form a multicast group containing all
      SS's

      level control

      Only one more comment.  The final 4dB of error will also be
      reduced by subsequent BS commands, and relative error
      diminishes to +/- 0.5dB for the final error (relative to the
      BS's capability to measure power)

            regarding SS power level control

            The power control method is a closed loop method
            where the Base station asks for further power
            control corrections if required. If the base
            station requests the subscriber station in the
            RNG-RESP to increase the power level by 30dB the
            SS should increase it by 30dB with a relative
            accuracy of 4dB.

            If the Base station is going to increase the
            power of the SS in 5 steps and the BS requests
            the SS to increase the power by 8dB the SS will
            increase it by 8dB with a relative accuracy of
            4dB. In the subsequent RNG-RESP message the BS
            instead of requesting a power increase of 8dB
            will request for 8dB+(relative accuracy).
            Therefore after each increase requested from the
            BS the relative accuracy should be 4dB.

            This assumes that the BS can make an accurate
            measurement of the SS's power increase.

            Any comments ?

                  Clarification regarding SS power
                  level control

                  My understanding of this is that the
                  step size should be greater than 1 dB
                  but less than 8 dB (I'd assumed for
                  the relative accuracy that the 50% of
                  the step size can be no more than 4
                  dB), but the number of steps is based
                  on the step size and the relative
                  accuracy to achieve the minimum
                  control range, so for 1 dB steps, the
                  number of steps can be between 60 and
                  20 (30/0.5 and 30/1.5) for a 30 dB
                  range, and for 8 dB step size the
                  number of steps between 8 and 3 for
                  the 30 dB range.

                   

                  Regards

                        Clarification regarding
                        SS power level control

                        Power level control for
                        the OFDM PHY is defined
                        in section 8.3.9.1:

                        " For an SS not
                        supporting
                        subchannelization, the
                        transmitter shall support
                        a monotonic power level
                        control of 30 dB minimum.
                        For an SS supporting
                        subchannelization, the
                        transmitter shall support
                        a monotonic power level
                        control of 50 dB minimum.
                        The minimum step size
                        shall be no more than 1
                        dB. The relative accuracy
                        of the power control
                        mechanism is +/-50% of
                        the step size in dB, but
                        no more than 4 dB. As an
                        example, for a step size
                        of 5 dB the relative
                        accuracy is 2.5 dB. For a
                        BS, the transmitter shall
                        support a monotonic power
                        level control of 10 dB
                        minimum." 

                        Looking at the SS
                        (subchannelization) for
                        example, it is possible
                        to go from Min power to
                        Max power either in 5
                        steps of 8 dB or in a
                        single step of 50dB. In
                        the first option the
                        accumulated offset can
                        reach 5*4dB (20dB) wheras
                        in the second option the
                        tolerance is limited to
                        4dB.


                        Does anyone have a more
                        clear interpretation of
                        this text?
