Proposed Text on the IEEE 802.16.1a Amendment Draft Standard

[------Start of Text Proposal------]

[Remedy1: Change text in line#1, page iii, P802.16.1a/D5 as follows:]

Abstract:<Select this text and type or paste Abstract—contents of the Scope may be used>This amendment to IEEE Std 802.16.1-2012 specifies protocol enhancements to the WirelessMAN-Advanced Air Interface medium access control layer (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) to supporthigh reliablity networks.

[Remedy2: Insertthe following text in line#3, page 2, P802.16.1a/D5:]

Insert new subclause 1.6

1.6Support for High Reliability Networks

A High Reliability (HR) networkimplements features that enable increased robustness and alternate radio path establishment in a degraded network,in the case of failure of one or more infrastructure nodes or network connectivity.

In order to support high reliablity in WirelessMAN-Advanced Air Interface, multi-mode operation of base station as a relay and mobile station as a relay, direct communication between MSs, forwarding of MS traffic to the network and another MS by other MS, standalone network, local forwarding bypassing backhaul links, path management against single point of failures by providing alternative radio and backhaul paths, and enhanced multicast-based service among a group of mobile stations are supported.

Those distinct fuctionalities in HR networks support mission critical applications, including Public Safety, Avionics, Airport Surface, and Smart Grid.
