Abstract

IEEE 802.16 is an air interface specification for wireless broadbandaccess. IEEE 802.16 has specified multiple service-specificConvergence Sublayers for transmitting upper-layer protocols. ThePacket CS (Packet Convergence Sublayer) is used for the transport ofall packet-based protocols such as the Internet Protocol (IP) andIEEE 802.3 (Ethernet). The IP-specific part of the Packet CS enablesthe transport of IPv4 packets directly over the IEEE 802.16 MediaAccess Control (MAC) layer.

This document specifies the frame format, the Maximum TransmissionUnit (MTU), and the address assignment procedures for transmittingIPv4 packets over the IP-specific part of the Packet ConvergenceSublayer of IEEE 802.16. [STANDARDS-TRACK]
