This eTopic explains the use of Connection IDs (CIDs) for Basic, Primary, Secondary Management, and Transport MAC connections. It also describes the MAC procedures for Initial Ranging, Bandwidth Request, and Bandwidth Allocation for user data transfers and how these data transfers are carried in the DL and UL OFDMA frames. The five MAC scheduling services defined by 802.16e to provide Quality of Service for multimedia services are also defined.

This course describes how 802.16e Mobile WiMAX structures the downlink and uplink Layer 2 transmissions to efficiently transfer control messages and to allocate user data transmissions on both the uplink and downlink. Major topics include the definition and explanation of the Downlink- and Uplink- MAP messages and how they are able to adapt transmissions to users with different signal quality and different types of services requiring different Quality of Service treatment. Other important topics...
