Term
Acronym Definition
Burst profile
-
Enter of settings that describe the uplink or downlink
transmission properties associated with an Interval
Usage Code. Each profile contains settings such as
modulation type, forward error correction type,
preamble length, guard times, etc.
CEPT
The European Conference of Postal and
Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT)
established in 1959. CEPT activities included co-
operation on commercial, operational, regulatory and
technical standardization issues.
Channel
-
A communications path wide enough to permit a
single RF transmission.
CIR
CIR
Minimum Reserved Traffic Rate (see QoS)
CINR
CINR
CINR is the ratio of Carrier/(Interf Noise).
Class of Service
-
Each Class of Service can be defined by a set of QoS
settings.
Classifier
-
A set of criteria used for packet filtering which map
each packet to the corresponding Service Flow (i.e.,
IP or MAC address).
Committed
Information Rate
CIR
The minimum guaranteed bandwidth for a connection.
Concatenation
-
The act of combining multiple medium access control
(MAC) protocol data units (PDUs) into a single burst.
Connection
-
A unidirectional mapping between RedMAX base
station base station and subscriber medium access
control (MAC) peers for transporting service flow’s
traffic. A Connection Identifier (CID) identifies
connections.
All traffic is carried on a connection, even for service
flows that implement connectionless protocols, such
as Internet Protocol (IP).
Connection
Identifier
CID
A unidirectional, medium access control layer address
that identifies a connection to equivalent peers in the
medium access control layer of the base station and
subscriber.
A CID maps to a service flow Identifier (SFID), which
defines the Quality of Service (QoS) settings of the
Service Flow associated with that connection.
Initial Ranging - A well-defined Connection Identifier
that is used by a subscriber during the initial ranging
process. This CID is defined as constant value within
the protocol since a subscriber has no addressing
information available until the initial ranging process is
complete.
Transport - unique identifier taken from the
Connection Identifier address space that uniquely
identifies the Transport Connection.
Cyclic Prefix
CP
Guard interval to resist multipath effect.
