Advanced antenna technologies and algorithms have been
developed during the last years. But until today, advanced antenna
algorithms of the physical layer and the modes of operation of medium
access layers have not been integrated in modern wireless systems. This
paper outlines the support of space division multiple access techniques
by the wireless metropolitan area network IEEE 802.16a. New concepts
are introduced that allow and further optimize the use of SDMA
techniques brought by intelligent antennas, i.e. the possibility to enable
SDMA in the current IEEE 802.16a MAC is investigated in detail. To
overcome current limitations, an enhanced control structure is
introduced that masters a concurrent transmission and reception of data
to/from several different subscriber stations. The approach is further
enhanced to facilitate a more flexible structure that significantly
improves the system capacity.
