[STDS-802-16] Periodic Ranging allocations in the UCD

[Mina Sokar <msokar@SYSDSOFT.COM>]

Dear All,

 

I have a question regarding the periodic ranging allocation received in the UCD. It is specified that the UCD may contains up to four periodic ranging allocations (contention based) with the below methods.

 

·        0b00 – Initial Ranging/Handover Ranging over two symbols

·        0b01 – Initial Ranging/Handover Ranging over four symbols

·        0b10 – BW Request/Periodic Ranging over one symbol

·        0b11 – BW Request/Periodic Ranging over three symbols

 

My question is why the BS may allocate two ranging blocks for the same purpose over different number of symbols?

 

I think the maximum number of periodic allocation should be two:

·        0b00 – Initial Ranging/Handover Ranging over two symbols, OR 0b01 – Initial Ranging/Handover Ranging over four symbols

·        0b10 – BW Request/Periodic Ranging over one symbol, OR 0b11 – BW Request/Periodic Ranging over three symbols

 

 

I appreciate clarifying this point.

 

 

Best Regards,
