Dear All, While there is no doubt that
concentrators reduce the number of ranging attempts I’m not sure that the 3GPP contribution
you have referenced should be used as an example. Meter reading exists today
(majority of US households) using various technologies. Meter reading is only a
small part of the “next generation” of Smart Grid applications which include messaging,
through a concentrator, to individual household power consumers (for example
electrical car chargers). I would therefore view the
numbers in that contribution as a lower bound. Eldad Office +1 631 622 4134 Mobile +1 631 428 4052 Based in NY area From: zhengyanxiu [mailto:zhengyanxiu@ITRI.ORG.TW]
Dear Ramprasad, You can refer the link provided by Yi-Ting as shown below. Some
evaluations for smart grid are shown and Concentrator is used in these
exemplary deployment. <http://www.3gpp.org/ftp/tsg_ran/WG2_RL2/TSGR2_70/Docs/R2-103269.zip> I guess that concentrator is not preferable but every system has
its limitation. I also surveyed solutions from Grid-net. The solutions include
LTE, Ethernet, FTTH, 3G HSPA, 3G EV-DO, 4G WiMAX, ZigBee, HomePlug. If
possible, may you give some comments on the contribution? Thanks for your
further information. Best regards, Zheng Yan-Xiu From: Ramprasad Golla
[mailto:rgolla@grid-net.com] Hi, Without
reading the document, general concern is that adding concentrators adds to the
deployment and operational costs. From a system perspective, when
we introduce another node and link in the network, we also need to address the
security and key management issues etc. Is it
possible to share the contribution on this thread or provide a pointer? Thanks, Ram From: zhengyanxiu
[mailto:zhengyanxiu@ITRI.ORG.TW] Dear Yi-Ting, Thanks for your information. I read the document and find that
concentrator would reduce the necessary number of ID for M2M
device/concentrator within a cell. I believe concentrator is an important
feature highlighted in your contribution submitted to LTE. I make some
calculation based on your number, it also implies that up to 5000 M2M
device/concentrator necessary to be handled within 2Km range. It’s good news. I
guess smart meter does not send message every 5 mins but longer. I could be one
day or one month. Even for one day, I guess partition 24hours=1440 mins into
1000 slots for these 5000 M2M device/concentrator is still possible and
regulate the traffic. These concentrator does not have to be in connected state
and wastes their power. STID could be released earlier if concentrator approach
is used for smart meter scenario. I think your concentrator is practical to
reduce necessary number of ID. However, there may be some scenarios without concentrator. We
could think about that scenario if current space of STID can not support. Another point for C-RNTI and LTE. Although it is 16bits long, it
will be shared for other purposes and not all 16 bits for C-RNTI. In LTE, there
are some over-designs induced system overhead and complexity. We should be
careful of LTE’s scenario if such scenario is reasonable. Best regards, Zheng Yan-Xiu From: 林奕廷 (Lin, Yi-Ting)
[mailto:eating@NMI.III.ORG.TW] Dear
Bin, Thanks
for your reply. The referenced proposal was adopted during 3GPP RAN2
#70 without objection. Please note that the C-RNTI(which is similar to STID in
16m) is 16-bit long, it is preferable to keep the capacity of 802.16p standard
comparable to that of LTE MTC. Best

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 From: 林奕廷 (Lin, Yi-Ting) [mailto:eating@NMI.III.ORG.TW]
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

Email Discussion on M2M device identification 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 From: 林奕廷 (Lin, Yi-Ting) [mailto:eating@NMI.III.ORG.TW] 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

Email Discussion on M2M device identification 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 From: Kaushik Josiam
[mailto:kjosiam@STA.SAMSUNG.COM] 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 DEV
