The Base Station ID is a 48-bit number defined by IEEE Std 802.16 to be broadcast by each base station. The OpID defines the most significant 24-bits of the Base Station ID. An 802.16 network consists of one or more base stations operating as a coordinated system, with each base station in the coordinated network broadcasting the same OpID. By programming unique values in the least significant 24-bits of the Base Station ID for each base station, the Base Station ID then uniquely identifies each and every base station in the coordinated 802.16 network.
