TIA TIA-1121.012

Overview

This volume defines the MAC layer protocols of the Ultra Mobile Broadband TDD air interface standard. This standard defines the normative behavior of the MAC layer by describing the precise processing rules for each of the MAC layer entities that are affected by the duplexing mode. Other MAC layer entities that are not affected by duplexing mode are as described in [3]. This volume consists of the following sections:

1. TDD Forward Link Control Segment MAC Protocol. This section provides the procedures and messages for the operation of the channels transmitted on the forward link control segment.

2. TDD Forward Traffic Channel MAC Protocol. This section provides the procedures and messages for the operation of the forward data channel.

3. TDD Reverse Control Channel MAC Protocol. This section provides the procedures and messages for the operation of all the reverse link control channels except the reverse access channel.

4. TDD Reverse Traffic Channel MAC Protocol. This section provides the procedures and messages for the operation of the reverse data channels.
