Hi
Mary,
Looking at figure 85, I think T4 does not directly
cause the MAC to re-initialize. Is there any issue with T4 except it being
defined as minimum 30s that requires defining a new timer for
OFDMA?

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.
