The WiMAX technology is based on the wireless access transmission technology of WiMAX Business Stream, and a major function of serving specific convergence sub-layer is the stream mapping.Though WiMAX is based on Business Stream, standard is not introduced the notion of stream exchange.
According to 802.16 standards, described WiMAX Business Stream is a kind of WiMAXMAC transmission service (promptly stream has directivity) that one-way transmission is provided, when stream is activated and one 16 CID (Connection Identifier; Connection identifier) mapping mutually.
The WiMAX system configuration of prior art one related to the present invention, as shown in Figure 1:
Existing WiMAX system comprises WiMAX base station 100, WiMAX subscriber station B200 and WiMAX subscriber station A300.
Described WiMAX base station 100 comprises Switching Module 110, stream mapping block 120, WiMAX stream processing unit 130.
If the WiMAX system supports ATM, Ethernet/IP or E1/T1 transmission, described Switching Module 110 generally includes atm switching module, MAC exchange/VLAN exchange/IP Switching Module and TDM Switching Module, carry out routing by these Switching Modules, to support the intercommunication between the different user station under the WiMAX base station, to support the intercommunication of 130 of wire transmission port (for example 100 m ethernet port, E1/T1 port) and WiMAX stream processing units.Except that ATM, Ethernet/IP or E1/T1 transmission technology,, need to increase other Switching Module if also support other wire transmission technology.
Described stream mapping block 120, corresponding to the specific convergence sub-layer of the service of 802.16 standards, the 802.16MAC layer is handled the MAC common part sublayer of corresponding 802.16 standards of subelement.The type difference of the wire transmission technology of supporting according to system, its kind is also a lot.For example, if system supports the ATM wire transmission technology, then described stream mapping block is an ATM stream mapping block; If system supports the wire transmission technology of Ethernet, then described stream mapping block is an Ethernet/IP stream mapping block; If system supports the TDM wire transmission technology, then described stream mapping block is a TDM stream mapping block.
Described WiMAX stream processing unit 130 comprises 802.16 physical layer process subelements, encrypts sub-layer processes subelement and 802.16MAC layer processing subelement.
Described WiMAX subscriber station B200 comprises stream processing unit 210 and stream mapping block 220;
Wherein said stream processing unit 210 comprises 802.16 physical layer process subelements, encrypts sub-layer processes subelement and 802.16MAC layer processing subelement.

Then, after described stream processing unit is handled described WiMAX stream, be that the WiMAX of the CID2 wireless channel of flowing through is issued the WiMAX base station with connection identifier.
Subsequently, the stream processing unit of described WiMAX base station is that the WiMAX stream of CID2 is handled to described connection identifier, and is uploaded to the Ethernet stream mapping block of base station.
Then, the Ethernet of described base station stream mapping block is that the WiMAX stream of CID2 shines upon back ethernet frame with connection identifier, and sends it to MAC/VLAN/IP Switching Module.
When the base station confirms that user A carries out business of networking, then described ethernet frame is exchanged to higher level's treatment facility and handle by the MAC/VLAN/IP Switching Module.
When the business intercommunication of user A execution and user B is confirmed in the base station, according to 802.16 standards, the WiMAX Business Stream is a kind of WiMAX MAC transmission service (promptly stream has directivity) that one-way transmission is provided, and therefore described MAC/VLAN/IP Switching Module exchanges to described ethernet frame another Ethernet stream mapping block of base station.
Then, another Ethernet stream mapping block of base station is according to the target MAC (Media Access Control) address and the VLAN sign of Ethernet frame head, ethernet frame is mapped as another WiMAX stream (identifying with CID1), and the flow data that will be designated CID1 is issued the stream processing unit of WiMAX subscriber station B through wireless channel.
After the stream processing unit of described WiMAX subscriber station B is handled described ethernet frame, send the Ethernet stream mapping block of WiMAX subscriber station A to.
At last, through the Ethernet of WiMAX subscriber station B stream mapping block WiMAX being flowed CID1 shines upon back ethernet frame and passes to user B.
By the technical scheme of above-mentioned prior art as can be seen, when prior art is supported the wire transmission technology of Ethernet, need net frame too to be exchanged, thereby can realize the intercommunication between the different user station under the WiMAX system, or realize the business of user's online through the MAC/VLAN/IP Switching Module.

3, in order to support the intercommunication between different WiMAX subscriber stations, user data package or traffic frame etc. need be through four times stream mapping process and operation exchange processes once, so transmission delay is bigger.
4, in the prior art, prior art can't be supported the direct intercommunication between the WiMAX subscriber station, can only could realize information mutual communication between different WiMAX subscriber stations by the WiMAX base station, therefore when between WiMAX subscriber station and WiMAX base station obstruction being arranged, information mutual communication can not be realized in WiMAX subscriber station and WiMAX base station; And the load of WiMAX base station is bigger.
5, prior art can not be supported to carry out intercommunication by the WiMAX subscriber station between the WiMAX base station, and when switching in the sub-district, the state of the WiMAX of WiMAX base station stream can only be transferred to another WiMAX base station by base station controller or wired cable.
