Abstract: A system and method for PtMP wireless communication is provided. The PtMP wireless communication system can include a plurality of sectors each including a base station and a remote station(s). A total bandwidth the system can be determined based on a frequency range of a continuous band allocated to the system, or one or more PLMR channels when the system communicates over a Private Land Mobile Radio (PLMR) band having one or more channels. The total bandwidth can be portioned into subchannel(s), each having fixed subchannel bandwidth. Each sector can be assigned a subset of the plurality of subchannels. A subchannel bit map can be created and populated for the plurality of subchannels, specifying whether availability of each subchannel for the particular sector, and the base stations of each sector can communicate over the subchannels allocated to the at least one sector according to the respective populated subchannel bit map.

Abstract: An OFDMA system having a reduced overhead, particularly suitable for narrow bandwidth systems, in which uplink and downlink map messages have reduced length for efficiency.

Abstract: A method for packet field suppression in broadband wireless communication is provided. Values for packet suppression can be learned and subsequently used for suppression. The learning can involve determining a new packet field suppression rule and a packet field suppression index. Packets can be suppressed based on the learned values.

Abstract: A system and method for best effort scheduling of uplink bandwidth requests, in which aggregate uplink bandwidth requests for best efforts services are received from the remote stations, the base station calculates bulk bandwidth, and the remote stations distribute bulk bandwidth to the requesting services.
