[STDS-802-16] [802.16n][MM][Multicast] Discussion on the multicast for 802.16n



Dear 16n participants,

 

I would like to initiate an email discussion on the multicast issues which are summarized as follows:

-          overall description including addressing

o   whether multicast group zone is required or not

o   how to indicate multicast traffic [multicast group ID + FID]

-          multicast establishment

o   capacity exchange including registration

o   how to establish/change/delete multicast service

o   how to allocate/receive multicast  [Note: it will be discussed on downlink control for multicast in detail]

-          multicast operation in connected state as well as idle state

o   operation in connected state [including sleep mode]

o   operation in idle state

-          downlink control for multicast [i.e., MAP related to multicast]

o   how to indicate/allocate/recognize multicast data

-          advanced features such as multicast security and local forwarding

o   deferring until basic operation is defined

 

Any comment and any other topic are appreciated to discuss on the multicast issue.

[Note: HTML email format is strongly recommended.]

 

Thank you and Best Regards,
