Re: [STDS-802-16] [802.16n] [MM] Agenda for 16n MM RG 2nd Conference Call - Proposed harmonized text for multi-mode



Hi all,

 

Based on email discussions for multi-mode topic, I would like to propose that the following text to be considered for harmonization. Alina and others, please comment.

 

Proposed text:

 

[Upon loosing backhaul connection, an HR-BS (affected HR-BS) shall be able to operate as a relay station to communicate with another HR-BS (supporting HR-BS) that has connection to backhaul. To the supporting HR-BS, the affected HR-BS is treated as a normal HR-RS. To the subordinate stations of the affected HR-BS, the affected HR-BS may continue to act as an HR-BS or completely operate as a normal HR-RS.

 

In the absence of any infrastructure station, an HR-MS may be able to operate as a base station to provide connectivity for itself and other HR-MSs. While doing so, the HR-MS shall maintain the MS and base station functionalities. The mode switch to HR-BS can be initiated by the HR-MS itself or this can be directed by the superordinate station of the HR-MS in response to SPOF (e.g., failure of the superordinate station).

 

In response to SPOF (e.g., HR-BS/RS failure or loss of backhaul) or to support coverage extension, an HR-MS may be able to operate as a relay station to provide connectivity for multiple affected/out-of-coverage HR-MSs. While doing so, the HR-MS shall maintain the MS and relay functionalities. A mode switch to HR-RS shall be initiated by the superordinate station of the HR-MS.]

 

Best regards,

Anh Tuan
