[STDS-802-16] [MMR-AH-UM] Pre-meeting notes
Dear All,
Following from Jerry's well-structured document, I would like to put out the following notes. I hope to discuss these further during the teleconference.
1. Types of Routes (Section 5.3)
I think the contributions relating to this section seem to broadly fall in 2 categories;
i. Routes managed centrally from the MMR-BS (e.g. PMP)
ii. Routes managed in distributed fashion by individual RS (e.g. Mesh)
Deployments with the first category of routes will prefer simplified management and greater control over data flow. And deployments with the second category of routes will be suited for dynamic conditions.
2. Section on RS management
I think Section 5.5 from C802.16j-06/026 addresses an important issue. Deployments also depend on how a number of RSs are managed. For example, deployments will vary in terms of how management messages are processed, how RSs are configured with respect to a MMR-BS.
While some of this may be for later consideration (schedule for new ideas), I hope to discuss views on including a RS management section in the document.
3. Mobility (Section 7.1)
From the corresponding contribution for this section (C802.16j-06/029) and other deployment scenarios, I think mobility seems to relate to 2 cases;
i. RS mobility with respect to the MMR-BS (e.g. the train scenario from C802.16j-06/028)
ii. RS supporting mobility of SSs (e.g. a SS moving from one RS to another RS)
In the first case, the RS has to handover from one MMR-BS to another. And in the second case, the RS has to support handovers performed by moving SS.
I think the 2 cases will have some distinct requirements.
I look forward to discussing these further on Thursday.
Cheers,
