2. Motivation
Different types of ABS, such as macro-BS, hot zone BS, relay and femto, are all employed to satisfy various demands from different users in different area
Each ABS carries an unique SA-Preamble sequence as its identity
SA-Preamble set is divided into several non-overlapped subsets, each of which is reserved for different ABS types
If SA-Preamble partition information is carried in SFH, AMS can select the preferred ABS type once it decodes the SFH without referring to the higher layer message, such as MAC message, to reduce network entry or handover latency
The SA-Preamble partition should be flexible, depending on the deployment scenario, and the partition information should be passed to AMS without much signaling overhead

3. SA-Preamble Sequences in 802.16m
According to the resolution of #474 comment in the Session 62nd meeting, 768 SA-Preamble sequences is divided into three segments, each of which contains 256 sequences
For each segment, only half of 256 sequences are explicitly shown in IEEE C802.16m-09/1478r3. This is because the other 128 sequences can be generated by flipping and conjugating of the previous 128 codes
Our partition method is applied to all three segments

4. Proposed SA-Preamble Partition Table (1/4)
For each SA-Preamble segment, we first make a hard cut between macro ABS and non-macro ABS cell ID sets
The total number of cell ID supported for macro ABS is [TBD]
The size of macro/non-macro BS sets is fixed and is known to AMS
No feedback is needed for the hard partition size

5. Proposed SA-Preamble Partition Table (2/4)
For the non-macro ABS cell ID set, we further divided it into public non-macro ABS and CSG femto
A [TBD]-bit index broadcasted in S-SFH-SP3 is used to indicate the size of these two partitions as below

6. Proposed SA-Preamble Partition Table (3/4)
For public non-macro ABS partition, we can further divide it as HotZone, Relay, OSG femto and etc
The partition information is broadcasted in AAI_SCD
The detailed partition mechanism is TBD
Example:

7. Proposed SA-Preamble Partition Table (4/4)
For CSG femto partition, we further divide it into CSG open and CSG closed partitions
The partition information is broadcasted in AAI_SCD
The detailed partition mechanism is TBD
Example:

8. Text Proposal Modify the following text in line 6 of Page 288
Idx = , q is a running index 0 to 255.
SA-Preamble sequences are partitioned and each partition is dedicated to specific base station type like Macromacrocell BS, FemtoMacro Hotzone BS, femtocell BS and etc. The partition information is broadcasted in the extended system information. The cell types are categorized into macro ABS and non-macro ABS cells by hard partition with [TBD] sequences dedicated for macro ABS. The non-macro ABS cell information is broadcasted in a hierarchical structure, which composes of S-SFH SP3 and AAI_SCD-ADV. In S-SFH SP3, non-macro ABS cell type is partitioned as public and CSG femto cells. AAI_SCD-ADV provides finer partition information. The non-macro ABS cells can be further categorized different types, such as: hotzone, relay, OSG and etc. The CSG femto cells can be further categorized, such as: CSG-closed and CSG-open.
