Re: [STDS-802-16] Is "provisioned authorization model" equivalent to "static authorization model"?



Hi,

In my opinion, 'static' and 'provisioned' are the same in this context.
The 'dynamic' model is inherited more-or-less unchanged from DOCSIS. The
term 'static' is appropriate for DOCSIS (where static service flows are
defined in a configuration file), but 'provisioned' is perhaps more
appropriate for 802.16, where service flows can be defined by
configuring the BS using the MIB. Of course, this leads to some
confusion because, in 802.16, all service flows are created using the
dynamic service addition message, regardless of whether they are dynamic
or provisioned.

Subject: [STDS-802-16] Is "provisioned authorization model" equivalent

Hi all,

Can anybody clarify the difference between the "provisioned
authorization model" and "static authorization model"?

According to section 6.3.14.5, p. 222 in 802.16-2004, there are two
authorization model: static authorization model and dynamic
authorization model. But in Figure 93 and Figure 94, p.220, it
illustrates another two authorization model: provisioned authorization
model and dynamic authorization model. Since there is no further
description of the provisioned authorization model, can I assume that
"provisioned authorization model" is equivalent to "static authorization
model"?

Thank you.
