May 2010 Outline Introduction QoS in IEEE 802.16e QoS in IEEE 802.16m QoS in Long Term Evolution (LTE) Comparison and Conclusions Introduction 4G broadband wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.16e, IEEE 802.16m, and 3GPP LTE have been designed with different QoS frameworks Guarantee different traffic patterns and distinct QoS requirements QoS in IEEE 802.16e The QoS framework in IEEE 802.16e is based on service flows 802.16e Service Flow Management Dynamic Service Change (DSC) Dynamic Service Delete (DSD) Dynamic Service Activate (DSA) 802.16e Service Flow ID (SFID) Service Flow Types in IEEE 802.16 Unsolicited grant service (UGS) Supports real-time traffic with fixed-size data packets on a periodic basis Real-time polling service (rtPS) Supports real-time traffic with variable-size data packets on a periodic basis Non-real-time polling service (nrtPS) Supports delay-tolerant traffic that requires a minimum reserved rate Best effort (BE) service Supports regular data services IEEE 802.16 BandwidthRequest (BR) and Grant Mechanism Contention-based (nrtPS、BE) BS allocates bandwidth for the BR message MS uses a code-division multiple access (CDMA)-based mechanism Contention free-based (rtPS、nrtPS) piggybacked bandwidth request BS polls MS periodically set poll me (PM) bit in the header of a UGS Request/Grant for ertPS (802.16e) using by VoIP with silence suppression during a talk spurt BS provides unicast grants in an unsolicited manner as in UGS An MS uses its periodic allocation for both data transfer and bandwidth request adjustments during a silence period the allocation is taken from the ertPS SF the MS sends a BR message to the BS with a silence-to-talk-spurt transition IEEE 802.16m QoS Framework IEEE 802.16m advanced air interface (AAI), provides a more flexible and efficient QoS framework adaptive gra
