 IEEE 802.16 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The IEEE 802.16 or Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) Working Group, which was established by IEEE Standards Board in 1999, aims to prepare formal specifications for the global deployment of broadband Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks.
The first 802.16 standard was approved in December 2001 and was followed by three amendments – 802.16a, 802.16b and 802.16c to address issues of radio spectrum, quality of service and inter-operability, respectively.
The Workgroup is a unit of the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee.

Periodic Router Advertisement for the rechability and the movement detection may be unnecessary becasue IEEE 802.16 MAC provides the reachabilty by the Ranging procedure and the movement detection by the Handoff procdure.
Neighbor Discovery for IPv6 In IEEE 802.16 networks, some Neighbor Discovery [RFC2461] messages can be unnecessary in certain cases, since MS and BS links resemble a point-to-point link; hence, the MS's only neighbor is the default router, BS that is already known through Router Discovery which is performed by link-layer mechanisms.
