Generalizing 4IPP Traffic Model for IEEE802.16.3

The contribution defines a generic traffic model – n Interrupted Renew Process (nIRP), it provides both self-similar traffic and non-self-similar traffic modeling for Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) applications. The model can be used to accurately characterize measured voice, video and data traffic. It is a backward compatible extension of 4IPP model. It is forward extendable as well. The contribution offers a system level method suitable for simulation of MAC/PHY proposals from traffic and performance perspectives. Purpose For 802.16.3 to consider the input of the nIRP model for evaluating different MAC/PHY combinations. This contribution is made for Session #11 in Ottawa.

Patent Policy and Procedures The contributor is familiar with the IEEE 802.16 Patent Policy and Procedures (Version 1.0) , including the statement “IEEE standards may include the known use of patent(s), including patent applications, if there is technical justification in the opinion of the standards-developing committee and provided the IEEE receives assurance from the patent holder that it will license applicants under reasonable terms and conditions for the purpose of implementing the standard.” Early disclosure to the Working Group of patent information that might be relevant to the standard is essential to reduce the possibility for delays in the development process and increase the likelihood that the draft publication will be approved for publication. Please notify the Chair as early as possible, in written or electronic form, of any patents (granted or under application) that may cover technology that is under consideration by or has been approved by IEEE 802.16. The Chair will disclose this notification via the IEEE 802.16 web site . 2000-12-12 IEEE 802.16.3c-00/58 1 Generalizing 4IPP Traffic Model for IEEE802.16.3 Jun Huang DragonWave Inc.
