EIA/TIA-1121.012:2009 (R2013)

Overview This volume defines the MAC layer protocols of the Ultra Mobile Broadband TDD airinterface standard. This standard defines the normative behavior of the MAC layer bydescribing the precise processing rules for each of the MAC layer entities that are affectedby the duplexing mode. Other MAC layer entities that are not affected by duplexing modeare as described in [3]. This volume consists of the following sections: 1. TDD Forward Link Control Segment MAC Protocol. This section provides theprocedures and messages for the operation of the channels transmitted on the forward link 10 control segment. 2. TDD Forward Traffic Channel MAC Protocol. This section provides the procedures andmessages for the operation of the forward data channel. 3. TDD Reverse Control Channel MAC Protocol. This section provides the proceduresand messages for the operation of all the reverse link control channels except the reverseaccess channel. 4. TDD Reverse Traffic Channel MAC Protocol. This section provides the procedures andmessages for the operation of the reverse data channels.
