BreezeCOMPACT System Manual 2Chapter 1 - System Description About WiMAX1.1 About WiMAX1.1.1 Introduction to WiMAXEmanating from the broadband world and using all-IP architecture, mobile WiMAX is the leading technology for implementing personal broadband services. With huge market potential and affordable deployment costs, mobile WiMAX is on the verge of a major breakthrough. No other technology offers a full set of chargeable and differentiated voice, data, and premium video services in a variety of wireless fashions - fixed, portable and mobile - that increase revenue and reduce subscriber churn.WiMAX technology is the solution for many types of high-bandwidth applications at the same time across long distances and will enable service carriers to converge the all-IP-based network for triple-play services data, voice, and video.WiMAX with its QoS support, longer reach, and high data capacity is positioned for fixed broadband access applications in rural areas, particularly when distance is too large for DSL and cable, as well as in urban/suburban areas of developing countries. Among applications for residential are high speed Internet, Voice Over IP telephony and streaming video/online gaming with additional applications for enterprise such as Video conferencing, Video surveillance and secured Virtual Private Network (with need for high security). WiMAX technology allows covering applications with media content requesting more bandwidth.WiMAX allows portable and mobile access applications, with incorporation in notebook computers and PDAs, allowing for urban areas and cities to become “metro zones” for portable and mobile outdoor broadband wireless access. As such WiMAX is the natural complement to 3G networks by offering higher bandwidth and to Wi-Fi networks by offering broadband connectivity in larger areas.The WiMAX Forum is an organization of leading operators and communications component and equipment companies. The WiMAX Forum’s charter is to promote and certify the compatibility and interoperability of broadband wireless access equipment that conforms to the Institute for Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.16 and ETSI HiperMAN standards. The ultimate goal of the WiMAX Forum is to accelerate the introduction of cost-effective broadband wireless access services into the marketplace. Standards-based, interoperable solutions enable economies of scale that, in turn, drive price and performance levels unachievable by proprietary approaches, making WiMAX Forum Certified products.1.1.2 WiMAX Network Reference ModelFigure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 show the basic mobile WiMAX network architecture, with a single ASN-GW and with multiple ASN-GWs, as defined by the WiMAX Forum NWG

BreezeCOMPACT System Manual 3Chapter 1 - System Description About WiMAX. The various components and entities involved in the networking architecture are:1.1.2.1 Access Service Network (ASN)An ASN is defined as a complete set of network functions needed to provide radio access to a WiMAX subscriber. The ASN provides the following mandatory functions:Figure 1-1: Mobile WiMAX Network Reference ModelFigure 1-2: ASN Reference Model containing Multiple ASN-GWs

BreezeCOMPACT System Manual 4Chapter 1 - System Description About WiMAXWiMAX Layer-2 (L2) connectivity with WiMAX mobile station (MS) Transfer of AAA messages to the WiMAX subscriber's home network service provider (H-NSP) for authentication, authorization and session accounting for subscriber sessionsNetwork discovery and selection of the WiMAX subscriber's preferred NSPRelay functionality for establishing Layer-3 (L3) connectivity with a WiMAX MS (i.e. IP address allocation)Radio resource managementASN-CSN tunnelingASN anchored mobilityAn ASN is comprised of network elements such as one or more base transceiver stations and one or more ASN gateways. An ASN may be shared by more than one connectivity service network (CSN).1.1.2.2 Connectivity Service Network (CSN)A CSN is defined as a set of network functions that provide IP connectivity services to WiMAX subscribers. A CSN may offer the following functions:MS IP address and endpoint parameter allocation for user sessionsInternet accessAAA proxy or serverPolicy and admission control based on user subscription profilesASN-CSN tunneling supportWiMAX subscriber billing and inter-operator settlementWiMAX services such as location-based services, connectivity for peer-to-peer services, provisioning, authorization and/or connectivity to IP multimedia services, and facilities to support lawful intercept services such as those compliant with Communications Assistance Law Enforcement Act (CALEA) proceduresA CSN is comprised of network elements such as routers, proxy/servers, user databases, and inter-working gateway devices.1.1.2.3 Network Access Provider (NAP)An NAP is a business entity that provides WiMAX radio access infrastructure to one or more WiMAX network service providers (NSPs). A NAP implements this infrastructure using one or more ASNs.1.1.2.4 Network Service Provider (NSP)An NSP is a business entity that provides IP connectivity and WiMAX services to WiMAX subscribers compliant with the established service level agreement. The NSP concept is an extension of the Internet service provider (ISP) concept, providing network services beyond Internet access. To provide these

BreezeCOMPACT System Manual 6Chapter 1 - System Description About WiMAXDHCP functionalityHandover functionalityThe WIMAX Forum NWG has adopted two different approaches for ASN architecture - centralized and distributed: In the centralized approach there is at least one central ASN-GW, and the BTS operates in transparent mode, as shown in Figure 1-3. Figure 1-3: Centralized Network Reference Model

BreezeCOMPACT System Manual 8Chapter 1 - System Description About WiMAXReference point R5 consists of the set of control plane and bearer plane protocols for internetworking between the CSN operated by the home NSP and that operated by a visited NSP.Reference point R6 consists of the set of control and bearer plane protocols for communication between the BS and ASN-GW. The bearer plane consists of an intra-ASN data path between the BS and ASN gateway. The control plane includes protocols for data path establishment, modification and release control in accordance with the MS mobility events.Reference point R8 consists of the set of control plane message flows and optional bearer plane data flows between the base stations to ensure a fast and seamless handover. The bearer plane consists of protocols that allow data transfer between base stations involved in the handover of a certain MS. It is important to note that all reference points are logical and do not necessarily imply a physical or even direct connection. For instance, the R4 reference point between ASN-GWs might be implemented across the NAP internal transport IP network, in which case R4 traffic might traverse several routers from the source to the destination ASN-GW.

BreezeCOMPACT System Manual 10Chapter 1 - System Description The BreezeCOMPACT SolutionFollowing is a description of each of these working modes:1.2.2.1 External ASN-GWThe ASN-GW is a separate entity (centralized architecture) that communicates with the BTS over R6 interface. Service components (Service Profiles and Service Flows) are configured in the external ASN-GW. MS authentication and services provisioning are managed by a centralized AAA server, based on user credentials (user name and password).1.2.2.2 Embedded ASN-GW Local AuthenticationThe ASN-GW functionality resides in the BTS (distributed architecture). Service components (Service Profiles and Service Flows) are configured in the internal ASN-GW of each BTS. MSs list and services provisioning including authentication are managed locally by the internal ASN-GW (AAA server not needed), based on the SU MAC address.1.2.2.3 Embedded ASN-GW Centralized AuthenticationThe ASN-GW functionality resides in the BTS (distributed architecture). Service components (Service Profiles and Service Flows) are configured locally in the BTS. MS authentication and service provisioning are managed centrally by an external AAA server, based on user credentials (user name and password).1.2.3 System TopologiesBreezeCOMPACT supports different system topologies:One Sector, One CarrierOne Sector, Dual CarrierTwo Sector, Two Carriers (One Carrier per Sector)Following is a description of each of these topologies:1.2.3.1 One Sector, One CarrierThis is the basic configuration based on a single BS, supporting a single 4x4 sector with a bandwidth of 5, 7, or 10 MHz.INFORMATIONIn the current release only One Sector, One Carrier topology with a 10 MHz bandwidth is supported.

BreezeCOMPACT System Manual 11Chapter 1 - System Description The BreezeCOMPACT Solution1.2.3.2 One Sector, Dual CarrierTwo BSs support a single 4x4 sector with a total bandwidth of 20 (10+10) or 14 (7+7) MHz.1.2.3.3 Two Sector, Two Carriers (One Carrier per Sector)Two BSs support two 2x2 sectors, each with a bandwidth of 10 or 7 MHz.Figure 1-5: One Sector, One CarrierFigure 1-6: One Sector, Dual Carrier

BreezeCOMPACT System Manual 12Chapter 1 - System Description The BreezeCOMPACT Solution1.2.4 AntennasIn the 4Motion architecture, the antenna is approached as an independent element. This provides the operator with the flexibility to select the antennas source according to its supplier policy. To ensure the availability of antennas that complement the 4Motion solution, Alvarion works closely with several antenna suppliers to ensure availability of antennas that comply with its requirements.In cases where the operator prefers other antenna vendors, Alvarion can provide a recommended antenna specification based on the required antennas types.Antennas may support one or several different downtilt options:Mechanical Down-Tilt (MDT) using a suitable mounting kit.Electrical Down-Tilt (EDT) that may be either fixed or adjustable using a special adjustment screw.Remote Electrical Tilt (RET) through a special interface.Alvarion offers also AISG (Antenna Interface Standards Group) compliant electrical downtilt control kit enabling remote tilt control for antennas that support RET.In addition to a range of standard commercial antennas, Alvarion offers also a special attached antenna design for convenient installation on top of the BreezeCOMPACT unit.For details on antennas offered by Alvarion refer to “Antennas” on page 19.Figure 1-7: Two Sectors, Two Carriers (One Carrier per Sector)

BreezeCOMPACT System Manual 13Chapter 1 - System Description The BreezeCOMPACT Solution1.2.5 GPSGPS is used to synchronize the air link frames of Intra-site and Inter-site located Base Transceiver Stations to ensure that in all Base Stations the air frame will start at the same time, and that all Base Stations will switch from transmit (downlink) to receive (uplink) at the same time. This synchronization is necessary to prevent Intra-site and Inter-site interference and Base Stations saturation (assuming that all Base Stations are operating with the same frame size and with the same DL/UL ratio).In order for the system to be synchronized, the GPS have to first acquire at least 4 satellites. After that the GPS reception can be reduced to 1 satellite. If no satellite is received the BTS will go to holdover state where internal clock is provided to synchronize the BTS for up to two hours. Following a pre-configured time in holdover state the unit will stop transmissions to avoid interfering with the operation of neighboring units.The all-outdoor GPS Receiver is a pole mountable GPS receiver and antenna in a single environmentally protected enclosure. The receiver is powered from the unit, and it can be installed at a distance of up to 100m from the unit. GPS signals chaining (not supported in current release) enables using a single GPS receiver for several colocated units.

Alvarion and its resellers or distributors are not liable for injury, damage or regulation violations associated with the installation of Outdoor Units or antennas.FrançaisSEULS les installateurs professionnels expérimentés qui sont familiers avec les codes locaux des bâtiments et de la sécurité et, lorsque cela s'applique, qui sont autorisés par les autorités gouvernementales de régulation, doivent installer les unités extérieures et les antennes. Le non-respect de cette clause peut invalider la garantie du produit et exposer l'utilisateur final ou le prestataire de services à des responsabilités légales et financières. Le fabricant et ses revendeurs ou distributeurs ne sont pas responsables pour toute blessure, dommage ou violation de la réglementation associée à l'installation d'unités extérieures ou d'antennes. ItalianoATTENZIONE: SOLO professionisti esperti che hanno familiarità con le norme di costruzione locali e coi codici di sicurezza e, ove applicabile, sono autorizzati dalle autorità governative competenti possono installare unità esterne ed antenne. Assicurarsi che le unità esterne, antenne e strutture di supporto siano installate correttamente per eliminare ogni pericolo fisico a persone o cose. In caso contrario, ciò può invalidare la garanzia del prodotto e può esporre l'utente finale o il fornitore di servizi a responsabilità legali ed economiche. Anche quando la messa a terra non è obbligatoria in base alla normativa regolatoria applicabile e ai codici nazionali, è obbligatorio garantire che l'unità esterna e il palo dell'antenna siano messi a terra e idonei dispositivi di protezione contro i fulmini siano utilizzati in modo da fornire protezione contro le sovratensioni e le scariche statiche. In ogni caso, il Fornitore e i suoi rivenditori non sono responsabili per eventuali danni fisici, danni ad oggetti o violazioni del regolamento associati con o causati dall' installazione, la messa a terra o di protezione contro i fulmini.
