Re: [STDS-802-16] question on OFDMA-based periodic ranging



Yigal,
 
Thanks for the clarification. For non-OFDMA based periodic ranging, when T4 times out, MAC is re-initialized and the frequency of periodic ranging is controled by BS using T27. For OFDMA based period ranging, it seems to be not too appropriate to use the same T4 timer for periodic ranging timer. Should we define a new timer for OFDMA periodic ranging?
 
Thanks.
 
Mary

Hi Mary,
 
It is indeed T4, and it is long because the original values were intended for Fixed service, not mobile.

Hi,
 
In section 6.3.10.3, it's stated " Using the OFDMA ranging mechanism, the periodic ranging timer is controlled by the SS, not the BS". Is this Periodic ranging timer T4 as in Fig 85 or is this a seperate timer? It seems that the T4 value is too long to be served as a periodic ranging timer.
 
Thanks.
