About WiMAX
1.1.1
Introduction to WiMAX
About WiMAX
Emanating 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.

BreezeCOMPACT System Manual
Chapter 1 - System Description
About WiMAX
Figure 1-1: Mobile WiMAX Network Reference Model
Figure 1-2: ASN Reference Model containing Multiple ASN-GWs
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:
BreezeCOMPACT System Manual
Chapter 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 mobility
An 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)
procedures
A 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
Chapter 1 - System Description
About WiMAX
services, an NSP establishes contractual agreements with one or more NAPs. An NSP may also establish
roaming agreements with other NSPs and contractual agreements with third-party application providers
(e.g. ASP, ISP) for the delivery of WiMAX services to subscribers. From a WiMAX subscriber standpoint,
an NSP may be classified as a home or visited NSP.
1.1.2.5
Base Station (BS)
The WiMAX BS is an entity that implements the WiMAX MAC and PHY in compliance with the IEEE
802.16e standard. A BS operates on one frequency assignment, and incorporates scheduler functions
for uplink and downlink resources.
The basic functionality of the BS includes:
 IEEE 802.16e OFDMA PHY/MAC entity
 R6 and R8 functionality according to NWG definitions
 Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP) relay
 Control message authentication
 User traffic authentication and encryption
 Handover management
 QoS service flow management entity
1.1.2.6
ASN Gateway (ASN-GW)
The ASN-GW is a network entity that acts as a gateway between the ASN and CSN. The ASN functions
hosted in an ASN-GW may be viewed as consisting of two groups - the decision point (DP) and
enforcement point (EP). The EP includes bearer plane functions, and the DP includes non-bearer plane
functions.
The basic DP functionality of the ASN-GW includes:
 Implementation of EAP Authenticator and AAA client
 Termination of RADIUS protocol against the selected CSN AAA server (home or visited AAA server) for
MS authentication and per-MS policy profile retrieval
 Storage of the MS policy profile
 Generation of authentication key material
 QoS service flow authorization entity
 AAA accounting client
The basic EP functionality of the ASN-GW includes:
 Classification of downlink data into generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnels
 Packet header suppression functionality
BreezeCOMPACT System Manual
Chapter 1 - System Description
About WiMAX
 DHCP functionality
 Handover functionality
The 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
Chapter 1 - System Description
About WiMAX
In the distributed approach, the BTS operates in ASN-GW mode, as shown in Figure 1-4.
Figure 1-4: Distributed Network Reference Model
Alvarion believes in providing operators with the flexibility to select the mobile WiMAX network
topology that best suits their needs and existing network architecture. Therefore, 4Motion is designed to
support both distributed and centralized topology approaches according to WiMAX Forum NWG profile
C.
1.1.2.7
Reference Points
 Reference point R1 consists of the protocols and procedures between the MS and ASN as per the
air-interface (PHY and MAC) specifications (IEEE 802.16e).
 Reference point R2 consists of protocols and procedures between the MS and CSN associated with
authentication, services authorization and IP host configuration management. This reference point is
logical in that it does not reflect a direct protocol interface between the MS and CSN. The
authentication part of reference point R2 runs between the MS and CSN operated by the home NSP,
however, the ASN and CSN operated by the visited NSP may partially process the aforementioned
procedures and mechanisms. Reference point R2 might support IP host configuration management
running between the MS and CSN (operated by either the home NSP or visited NSP).
 Reference point R3 consists of the set of control plane protocols between the ASN and CSN to
support AAA, policy enforcement and mobility management capabilities. It also encompasses the
bearer plane methods (e.g. tunneling) to transfer user data between the ASN and CSN.
 Reference point R4 consists of the set of control and bearer plane protocols originating/terminating
in various functional entities of an ASN that coordinate MS mobility between ASNs and ASN-GWs. R4
is the only interoperable reference point between similar or heterogeneous ASNs.
BreezeCOMPACT System Manual
Chapter 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.

while sustaining 4Motion leading technological advantages and ecosystem.
BreezeCOMPACT is a weatherized carrier-class WiMAX 802.16e platform, based on Software Defined
Radio (SDR) that is SW upgradable for new technologies such as Time-Division Long-Term Evolution
(TD-LTE) and IEEE 802.16m. It is an integral part of 4Motion end-to-end solution. BreezeCOMPACT BTS
complements Alvarion's Macro BTS products for coverage and capacity extension as well as rural
deployment scenarios.
BreezeCOMPACT is a reliable platform utilizing the mature field-proven 4Motion modules and
ecosystem elements (e.g. ASN-GW, AAA, and WiMAX™ devices), hence delivering high product
availability.
Portable and mobile subscribers can connect to BreezeCOMPACT base station through various end-user
terminals such as USB dongles, Self Installed (SI) Residential Gateways (RGW), and Outdoor CPEs.
Alvarion's Compact, Micro and Macro solutions share similar functionality with same ecosystem,
allowing flexible mix & match approach to address various operator deployment needs.
Alvarion believes that compliance with standard-driven open architecture protects the infrastructure
investment, and opens the system to a variety of fully interoperable end-user devices. As such, 4Motion
is designed with open architecture and interfaces according to the WiMAX Forum networking working
group (NWG) profile C, which supports openness and enables flat as well as hierarchical topologies. In
addition, by keeping the radio resource management functionality in the Base Transceiver Station only,
Profile C delivers a faster, optimized handover mechanism.
1.2.2
Network Architectures
BreezeCOMPACT supports different network architectures:
 External ASN-GW
 Embedded ASN-GW Local Authentication
 Embedded ASN-GW Centralized Authentication
INFORMATION
In the current release only External ASN-GW network architecture is supported.
BreezeCOMPACT System Manual
Chapter 1 - System Description
The BreezeCOMPACT Solution
Following is a description of each of these working modes:
1.2.2.1
External ASN-GW
The 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 Authentication
The 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 Authentication
The 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 Topologies
BreezeCOMPACT supports different system topologies:
 One Sector, One Carrier
 One Sector, Dual Carrier
 Two Sector, Two Carriers (One Carrier per Sector)
INFORMATION
In the current release only One Sector, One Carrier topology with a 10 MHz bandwidth is supported.
Following is a description of each of these topologies:
1.2.3.1
One Sector, One Carrier
This is the basic configuration based on a single BS, supporting a single 4x4 sector with a bandwidth of
5, 7, or 10 MHz.

1.2.4
Antennas
In 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.

The BreezeCOMPACT Solution
GPS
GPS 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.
