- 12. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) • Multiplexing technique that divides the channel into multiple orthogonal subchannels • Input data stream is divided into several substreams of a lower data rate (increased symbol duration) and each substream is modulated and simultaneously transmitted on a separate subchannel • High spectral efficiency, resilient to interference, and low multi-path distortion

Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) • Multiple-access/multiplexing scheme – multiplexing operation of data streams from multiple users – Dynamically assign a subset of subchannels to individual users • WirelessMAN-OFDMA based on scalable OFDMA (SOFDMA) – Support scalable channel bandwidths from 1.25 to 20 MHz
- 15. Other Physical Layer Features • Adaptive modulation and coding (AMC) • Fast Channel Feedback [3]

- 18. Outline • 802.16 Overview • Physical Layer • MAC Layer
- 19. MAC Layer • Connection-oriented • A fundamental premise of the MAC architecture is quality of service (QoS) • QoS provided via service flows – Unidirectional flow of packets provided with a set of QoS parameters – Applies to both downlink (DL) and uplink (UL)

- 21. MAC Layer Service Specific Convergence Sublayer MAC Common Part Sublayer Privacy Sublayer Interface to higher layer protocols, classifies incoming data, etc. Core MAC functions (i.e., scheduling, connection maintenance,fragmentation), QoS control Encryption, authentication, secure key exchange
- 22. Power Management • Sleep and Idle modes enable power-efficient MS operation • Sleep mode – MS conducts pre-negotiated periods of absence from air interface – Minimize MS power usage, and air interface resources – Allows scanning of other BSs to assist handoff • Idle mode – Allows MS to become periodically available for broadcast messages without registering at a BS
- 23. Handoff • 3 handoff methods supported – Hard Handoff (HHO) – required • “Break-before-make” • Optimized to keep handoff delays below 50 milliseconds – Fast Base Station Switching (FBSS) - optional – Macro Diversity Handover (MDHO) - optional
