Re: [STDS-802-16] [802.16p][DEV-RG] - Email Discussion on M2M device identification



Hi, Yi Ting,

 

Thanks for your sharing.

I agree with you on the SRD text.

May I ask a question that whether 3GPP standard group adopt your proposal about 30000 devices a cell? How did they think about it?

I think that may be a reference for us.

 

BR/Bin

Dear Hyunjeong and all,

 

Thanks for your question. Yes, I think 16p system should support 30000 M2M devices in connected state.

 

In SRD 6.2.9, it says "The 802.16p system shall support large numbers of M2M devices in connected state as well as in idle state." Unfortunately, it is not clear how "large" should be. We provide the value of 30000 by our experience. I also agree with you that 1000 devices could be burden for 16m/16e base station, but I don't agree 1000 is "large". 

 

I believe this discussion is to seek consensus on the number of connected devices. If people think 30000 is too large, I appreciate they could provide their suggestions.

  

Best Regards,

Yi-Ting

Dear Yi-Ting and all,

 

Yi-Ting,

Thank you for your information.

 

I have a question based on Yi-Ting’s information.

 

I understand there are more than 30,000 M2M devices in a cell, but I wonder it is feasible to assume that 30,000 M2M devices are in connected state. Because we are discussing the addressing space to be used in connected state.

Do you think that 30,000 M2M devices stay in communication mode with a base station?

In my thought, it is too burden for a base station to manage more than 1,000 devices in connected state.

 

 

Regards,

Hyunjeong

Dear all,

 

Thanks for Chiwoo's analyses. We agree that, with current 16m feedback channel design, the maximum number of devices would be 12032.

 

We would like to share our experiences on smart meters in Taipei. Please refer to the file <http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_ran/WG2_RL2/TSGR2_70/Docs/R2-103269.zip> for reference. For a cell of 1 km radius, the number of smart meters could be more than 30000. In practice it is not likely all smart meters attach to the network at the same time. But, considering various M2M applications would run simultaneously in a cell, we think the value of 30000 is reasonable to be the baseline number of supported devices.

 

Best Regards,

Yi-Ting

Dear 16p members,

 

As Kaushik pointed, we couldn’t agree on how many devices we need to support or how many devices we can currently support.

According to addressing issue, it’s required to determine this first.

 

I want to show my calculations about current feedback capacities of 16m and 16e.

I think that the size of STID doesn’t need to largely exceed the capacity of feedback channel because operation is not guaranteed if there is no relevant feedback.

 

The results show that the number of supportable user based on feedback channel are 7168/12032/200 in cases of 16m(10MHz)/16m(20MHz)/16e(10MHz), respectively.

 

I think that we can consider these results when we determine the number of devices to be supported in M2M.

Please let me know your opinion.

 

Please see following calculations.

Basic conditions

-       DL:UL = 5:3

-       One feedback channel makes 6 HARQ feedback channels.

-       Maximum number of LRUs for feedback channel : 16 (4 bits indication)

-       Maximum number of HARQ feedback channel is 30/60 for 10/20MHz, respectively.

-       Let’s consider maximum HARQ feedback channel.

-       The report period of fast feedback channel is up to 128 frames (=640ms, 3 bits indication)

-      

<10MHz case, 16m>

There is a restriction of number of feedback channel. The MAX number is  27.  (per one subframe)

5 feedback channels are used for HARQ feedback channels. (per one DL subframe (one HARQ feedback region))

There are 81 (= 27 * 3) feedback channels per one frame.

25 (=5*5) feedback channels are used for HARQ feedback channel.

That is, there are 56 fast feedback channels in a frame.

When we consider the report period as 8/32/128 frames,  the number of supportable user are 448/1792/7168.

 

<20MHz case, 16m>

There are 48 feedback channels. (per one subframe)

10 feedback channels are used for HARQ feedback channels. (per one DL subframe (one HARQ feedback region))

There are 144 (= 48 * 3) feedback channels per one frame.

50 (=10*5) feedback channels are used for HARQ feedback channel.

That is, there are 94 fast feedback channels in a frame.

When we consider the report period as 8/32/128 frames,  the number of supportable user are 752/3008/12032.

 

<10MHz case, 16e>

In 16e, the report period of CQICH channel is up to 8 frames (= 40ms, 2bits indication)

There are 35 subchannels per one frame in 10MHz.

6 subchannel shall be used as ranging channel.

Therefore, if we assume 25 subchannels for CQICH and 4 subchannels for ACK/NAK, the number of supportable user is just 200.

 

BR,

Chiwoo

Dear 16p members

In the DEV RG conference call today, we wanted to hear the member’s view on how many devices we need to support in 802.16p systems.  We can increase the addressing space to support a large number of users, but in the conference call, we couldn’t agree on how many devices we need to support or how many devices we can currently support.

 

Related to this issue, do we need to define a new M2M specific IDs for M2M devices? 

 

If you have any thoughts or proposals on the issue, please share them as a reply to this thread.

 

We thank you for your cooperation.

Regards

Kaushik & Ming-Hung
