Bandwidth Allocation With Half-Duplex Stations in IEEE 802.16 Wireless Networks
Overview IEEE 802.16 is a recent IEEE standard for broadband wireless access networks. In IEEE 802.16 networks, the Medium Access Control (MAC) protocol is centralized and explicitly supports Quality of Service (QoS). That is to say, access to the medium by a number of Subscriber Stations (SSs) is centrally controlled by one Base Station (BS), which is responsible for allocating bandwidth to several MAC connections in order to provide them with the negotiated QoS guarantees. However, although the network can be operated in Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) mode (that is, transmissions from the BS (downlink) and SSs (uplink) occur on separate frequency channels), the standard supports SSs with half-duplex capabilities.
