Acronym Definition
Service Class
-
Service classes are identifiers for a specific set of
QoS parameter set values. The use of service classes
is optional. A service identified by a service class is
identical to a service that has the same QoS
parameter set explicitly specified.
The Service Class allows operators to configure
service flows directly on the RedMAX base station
base station. Operators provision the Subscribers with
the Service Class Name; the implementation of the
name is configured at the RedMAX base station base
station. This allows operators to modify the
implementation of a given service to local
circumstances without changing Subscriber
provisioning.
This feature allows higher layer protocols to create a
service flow by its Service Class Name. For example,
telephony signaling may direct the subscriber to
instantiate any available Provisioned service flow of
class G711.
Service Data
Unit
SDU
The data unit exchanged between two adjacent
protocol layers. On the downward direction, it is the
data unit received from the previous higher layer. On
the upward direction, it is the data unit sent to the next
higher layer.
Service Flow
Each Service Flow represents a bi-directional data
flow having separate Quality of Service settings for
uplink and downlink:
Active / Admitted
Service Flow
Identifier
SFID
A 32-bit quantity that uniquely identifies a service flow
to both the subscriber and base station.
Service Flow
Name
-
An ASCII string that is used to reference a set of QoS
settings that (partially) define a service flow.
Service Level
Agreement
SLA
This describes in general the minimum quality of
service the provider is committed to provide
Simple Network
Management
Protocol
SNMP
A network management protocol of the IETF.
SINADR
-
Signal to noise and distortion ratio.
Subscriber
SS
The RedMAX base station base station terminal
configured as customer premises equipment (CPE).
802.16 definition of a Subscriber.
Time division
duplex
TDD
A duplex scheme where uplink and downlink
transmissions occur at different times but share the
same frequency.
Transmission
Control
Protocol/Internet
Protocol
TCP/
IP
The standard set of protocols used by the Internet for
transferring information between computers,
handsets, and other devices.
Transport
Connection
A connection used to transport user data.
