Overview:

Deploying the new generation "Internet Protocol" (IPv6) over 802.16-based wireless networks is facing an important challenge as the IEEE 802.16 standard is failing to support IPv6 functionalities. In fact, unlike the other 802 standards, the IEEE 802.16 is based on a Point-to-MultiPoint (PMP) communication model, where no direct connection (at the MAC layer) is possible between two stations, all communications pass through the Base Station. As a result, the 802.16 standard is unable to handle any form of IP multicast (group) communication, and hence it cannot sustain the new functionality of IPv6, namely auto-configuration mechanism, which particularly relies on IP multicast communication. These papers present different architectures to consider when deploying IPv6 over wireless broadband network, such as WiMAX.
