Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to present a framework design to achieve reverse channel multicast support in IEEE-802.16 networks. The unavailability of reverse channel multicast in IEEE 802.16 networks is one of the issues to be resolved in order to achieve its interoperability with IP networks. The interoperability of IEEE 802.16 networks and IP networks is not yet addressed. Forward channel multicast support is inherent in the IEEE-802.16 standard. Achieving reverse channel multicast support, we can enable IP services requiring native multicast support over IEEE-802.16 networks for seamless interoperation. IP network rudiments are mature enough and not likely to be redefined for any new network design; rather the reverse of this is more likely to be worked on. A framework design to achieve reverse channel multicast support is presented introducing a concentrator layer (Multi Node Access Layer) before Base Station (BS) and MARS (Multicast Address Resolution Server) to handle multicast requests.
