Chapter 1 - System Description About WiMAXBreezeMAX Extreme 3 System Manual1.1 About 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.

Chapter 1 - System Description WiMAX Network ArchitectureBreezeMAX Extreme 5 System Manual The various components and entities involved in the networking architecture are described in the following sections:1.2.2 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: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 tunnelingFigure 1-2: ASN Reference Model containing Multiple ASN-GWs

Chapter 1 - System Description WiMAX Network ArchitectureBreezeMAX Extreme 6 System Manual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).1.2.3 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.1.2.4 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.1.2.5 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 services, an

Figure 1-3: Centralized Network Reference Model

Chapter 1 - System Description WiMAX Network ArchitectureBreezeMAX Extreme 10 System Manual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.Reference point R5 consists of the set of control plane and bearer plane protocols for internet working 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.

Chapter 1 - System Description BreezeMAX ExtremeBreezeMAX Extreme 15 System Manual1.3.6 GPS AntennaGPS is used to synchronize the air link frames of Intra-site and Inter-site located sectors to ensure that in all sectors the air frame will start at the same time, and that all sectors will switch from transmit (downlink) to receive (uplink) at the same time. This synchronization is necessary to prevent Intra-site and Inter-site sectors interference and saturation (assuming that all neighboring sectors are operating with the same DL/UL ratio). The BTS includes an internal GPS receiver with hold over mechanism in case GPS is lost or satellites synchronization was not reached. The GPS clock required is 1PPS with accuracy of 10-11 and maximum jitter of 100ns. These GPS clock requirements can be reached by a GPS receiver when it receives at least 4 satellites. After initial synchronization, at least two satellites should be received to maintain sufficient synchronization.Alvarion offers two types of GPS antennas:Active high-gain antenna that can be installed at a distance of up to 25m from the BTS.Basic miniature antennas that can be installed at a distance of up to 3m from the BTS.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration ASN-GW MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 97 System Manual4.6 ASN-GW MenuThe ASN-GW menu includes the following options:AAAServices Menu4.6.1 AAA4.6.1.1 Working with RADIUS ServersManaging a large number of users creates the need for significant administrative support together with careful attention to security, authorization and accounting. The use of RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) enables operators to manage a single database of users, supporting authentication (verifying user name and password) as well as configuration information detailing the type of service to deliver to the user and the traffic that the user transmitted and received, for billing proposes.RADIUS is a protocol for carrying authentication, authorization, and configuration information between a Network Access Server (NAS), which desires to authenticate its links, and a shared Authentication server. A Network Access Server operates as a client of RADIUS. The client is responsible for passing user information to designated RADIUS server(s), and then acting on the response. RADIUS servers are responsible for receiving user connection requests, authenticating the user, and then returning all configuration information necessary for the client to deliver service to the user. In BreezeMAX Extreme systems, a RADIUS NAS is implemented in each BTS. MS authentication and service provisioning are managed by a RADIUS Authentication server if the BTS working mode is Embedded Distributed ASN-GW Authenticated (If the BTS working mode is Embedded Distributed ASN-GW Not Authenticated MS authentication and service provisioning are managed by the embedded ASN-GW using local configuration. In External ASN-GW working mode the entire ASN-GW functionality resides outside the BTS).Transactions between the client and RADIUS server are authenticated using Password Authentication Protocol (PAP) through encryption based on RSA Message Digest Algorithm MD5 and a Shared Secret, which is never sent over the network.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration ASN-GW MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 98 System ManualThe Access-Request is submitted to the RADIUS server via the network. If no response is returned within a length of time, the request is re-sent a number of times. Once the RADIUS server receives the request, it validates the sending client. A request from a client for which the RADIUS server does not have a shared secret must be silently discarded. If the client is valid, the RADIUS server consults a database of users to find the user whose User Name matches the request. The user entry in the database contains the User Password that must be verified.The MS authentication and service provisioning process when the BTS Working Mode is Embedded Distributed ASN-GW Authenticated is:1User Name and Password should be configured in the MS.2All required Service Profiles and Multiple Service Flows, including their components, should be configured in the BTS.3The RADIUS Authentication server(s) should be configured with the relevant MS’s details (User Name and Password) and their corresponding services, including the relevant service parameters (references to Service Profiles and Multiple Service Flows).4When an MS attempt registering at the BTS, the BTS searches within its local database. The details of each MS (and the provisioned Services) are maintained in the database for about 20 minutes after being disconnected. If this MS will reconnect within 20 minutes, they will be provisioned with the same service(s) without re-authentication.5The RADIUS server searches for the corresponding service(s) defined for the MS (based on the User Name and Password). »If it finds the applicable service(s) the RADIUS server replies to the ASN-GW with an access-accept message that includes the relevant Service(s) parameters.»If the RADIUS server does not find matching MS’s credentials or defined service(s), it replies to the ASN-GW with a reject message.6According to the response from the RADIUS server, the ASN-GW either authenticates the MS and provides the appropriate service(s) or rejects the MS.7Part of the information sent from the RADIUS server can include the Authentication Time Out. Before the end of this time the ASN-GW should re-authenticate the MS with the RADIUS server. This allows the operator to stop service for a customer even if the MS was not reset and the network entry process was not re-started.

The Keep Alive Timeout defines the time in seconds between keep alive messages.The range is 60-180 (seconds).The default value is 60 (seconds).4.6.1.3.2 Authentication ServerThe Authentication Server menu enables viewing the status and parameters of a defined Authentication server, adding a new server (in the current release one server can be defined), updating the parameters of a selected server, or deleting a server from the database.The Authentication menu includes the following options:Show SummarySelectAddNOTEWhen the BTS sends keep alive message to the server, it uses it's own default User Name and User Password.These User Name and User Password must be configured in the users list (the same list used for the MSs) of the server, otherwise the server will response with a reject message as "User name not found", and the BTS will process these rejects as a proper answer, and keep the AAA status as "up". This means that even if "KeepAliveUserNameAndPassword" is not defined, the keepalive mechanism will still works.The default User Name of the BTS is KeepAliveUserNameAndPassword.The default User Password of the BTS is KeepAliveUserNameAndPassword.The default User Name and User Password of the BTS are not configurable.

Applicable regulations dictates that wireless access systems operating in these bands shall not interfere with the operation of the radar systems. This means that the wireless access system must be able to automatically detect the presence of radar signals and avoid transmissions on frequencies used by radar systems in its vicinity.The Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) mechanism is based on monitoring of the frequency being used and automatic switching to a radar-free frequency upon detection of radar activity on the current frequency. The test for radar activity is performed according to the applicable standards (ETSI or FCC), according to the selected DFS Type (see “DFS Type” on page 80).Before initiating transmission on a new frequency that is not defined as Available (at start-up after power up or reset none of the frequencies are defined as Available) the unit performs a Channel Availability Check to ensure that there is no radar operating on this frequency. During normal operation, the unit continues monitoring the operating frequency (In-Service Monitoring) to ensure that there is no radar operating on the frequency. After deciding that a frequency is Available, it is considered as an Available frequency for a period defined by the configurable Startup Test Valid Period parameter.NOTEFor units using the 4.9 GHz FCC Band Name: For compliance with relevant FCC regulations the maximum Tx Power is 19 dBm (for all bandwidths/configurations).NOTEFor units using the 5.4 GHz ETSI and 5.4-5.8 GHz ETSI Band Name: For compliance with ETSI regulations, the Channel Availability Check Time (see “Channel Availability Check Time (sec)” on page 134) for frequencies in the range from to 5600 to 5650 MHz is set to 600 seconds (10 minutes), regardless of the value configured for this parameter.For units using the 5.8 GHz ETSI, 5.4-5.8 GHz ETSI, 5.8 GHz FCC and 5.4-5.8 GHz FCC Band Name: DFS is not required by the relevant ETSI/FCC regulations for frequencies in the range from 5850 to 5875 MHz. These means that frequencies in this range included in the Usable Frequencies List are always considered as Available.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Sector MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 132 System ManualUpon detection of radar activity on the operating frequency, the unit will automatically stop transmissions on this frequency that will be marked as Unavailable (Radar Detected) channel. The unit may continue transmissions on this frequency for a very limited period, allowing it to complete some transmissions of data and send control and management signals to support the transition of the served devices to a new channel. The frequency on which radar was detected will be considered as Unavailable for a period defined by the configurable Channel Non Occupancy Period parameter. The unit will switch randomly to another frequency in the Usable Frequencies List that is not considered as Unavailable. If this frequency is not considered as Available, the unit will check for radar activity before initiating transmissions on the new frequency. In configurations with two sectors, when the Frequencies Management Level (see “Frequencies Management Level” on page 82) is set to BTS Level, the frequencies table of each sector uses also the status information of relevant frequencies in the frequencies table of the other sector.The DFS Menu includes the following options:ShowShow Frequencies Status TableUpdate General ParametersUsable Frequencies4.7.2.2.2.1 Show Select this option to display the following:DFS Type: According to the DFS type defined in the Band Name (see “DFS” on page 80).Current DFS SupportConfigured DFS SupportCurrent Channel Availability Check Time (sec)Configured Channel Availability Check Time (sec)Current Channel Non Occupancy Period (min)

The measurement is performed by scheduling an empty uplink frame and extrapolating from the power measured on this frame the average noise and interference (NI) level per subcarrier. The measurement assumes that the NI level is constant across the whole bandwidth, and it is performed on an empty uplink frame to avoid taking into account the interference generated by the MS. The test takes about one minute, and at the end the measured NI is displayed. The measured NI is used for configuring the UL Thermal Noise Level parameter (see below). Note that during the test the available throughput is affected because of the allocation of empty uplink frames.

The BS broadcasts the targeted UL Thermal Noise Level level that is used by the MSs in open loop power control mode. Increasing the advertised NI causes the MS to transmit more power to support the same modulation. The NI value is typically set 6 dB higher than thermal noise (NI) that is measured in this test.The range is from -130 to -100 dBm.The default is -125 dBm.4.8.2.2.4 Multi RateThe system employs a multirate algorithm to dynamically adapt the modulation scheme and Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding to actual link conditions. The algorithm is managed by the BS taking into account also information received from the served MSs. Optimal values are calculated separately for the uplink and downlink for each MS. MAP messages transmitted to the MSs include information on the uplink rate that should be used by each MS for its next transmission.The multirate algorithm optimizes the trade-off between capacity and error rate: In most deployments, most of the links use high order modulation most of the time, maximizing capacity. “Bad” links use lower order modulation, maximizing CAUTIONA correct value of this parameter is critical for proper performance of the system. Do not change it from the default value unless advised to modify it by Alvarion’s experts.

When two or more BTSs are chained, all clocks are sent from the Master BTS to the Slave BTSs. The Chain menu includes parameters that should be shared by all BTSs belonging to the same chain.In the current release chaining is not supported yet and all BTSs are configured as Master.The Chain menu includes the following:4.11.2.1.1 Chain NumberThe Chain Number is used as a unique identifier of a chain. All BTSs belonging to the same chain should be configured with the same Chain Number. The Chain Number can be used by a central management system to guarantee that certain limitations are met: in each chain, one, and only one BTS should be defined as Master.The range is from 1 to 1500.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration GPS MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 165 System ManualThe default is 0, indicating that a Chain Number is not configured yet. A valid Chain Number must be configured, and this number must be unique in the managed network to properly support future implementation of chaining.4.11.2.1.2 GPS TypeThe GPS Type defines the GPS receiver. The available options are None and Trimble.The default is Trimble.4.11.2.1.3 Stop Tx After Hold Over TimeoutFor initial synchronization, a minimum of four satellites must be received properly (meeting certain criteria). Upon losing the 1PPS clock from the GPS, or if the received clock is not considered accurate enough because the number of received satellites dropped below the minimum (two satellites), the local 1PPS clock will be generated using the internal 10MHz clock. After a certain time (defined by the Hold Over Passed Timeout parameter described below), it is assumed that due to clock drifts there might be interferences among sectors belonging to the BTS and sectors belonging to neighboring BTSs. If the Stop Tx After Hold Over Timeout parameter is set to Enable, the BTS will stop transmitting after this timeout (unless the number of properly received satellites has increased again to four or more), to prevent interferences to the sectors belonging to other BTSs. If it is set to Disable, transmissions will continue indefinitely, at the expense of potential interferences to sectors belonging to other BTSs.The default is Disable (Hold Over indefinitely).4.11.2.1.4 Hold Over Passed Timeout (Min)This parameter defines the Hold Over timeout, after which there might be interferences to other sectors. When the Stop Tx After Hold Over Timeout is enabled, transmissions will stop after this timeout. When the Stop Tx After Hold Over Timeout is disabled, this timeout is used to generate a trap indicating that there might be interferences to neighboring sectors.The range is from 0 to 2880 (minutes).The default is 30 (minutes).4.11.2.1.5 Time Zone Offset From UTCThis is the offset of the local time from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The range is from -12:00 up to +13:00 in 30 minutes resolution. The format must be either -XX:YY or +XX:YY where YY is either 00 or 30.The default is +00:00.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration GPS MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 166 System Manual4.11.2.1.6 Daylight SavingThe Daylight Saving parameter is used to enable or disable the daylight saving feature using the following Start Date, End Date and Advance Hour Factor parameters. The default is Disable4.11.2.1.7 Start DateWhen Daylight Saving is enabled, this parameter defines the date for starting the daylight saving feature. At the beginning of this date (midnight at the beginning of this date), the clock will be advanced by the amount of hours specified by the Daylight Saving Advance Factor (see below).Use the format dd:mm to define the date and month at which to start activating the Daylight Saving feature.4.11.2.1.8 End DateWhen Daylight Saving is enabled, this parameter defines the date for ending the daylight saving feature (at “Daylight Saving Advance Factor” hours after midnight at the end of this date).Use the format dd:mm to define the date and month at which to end activating the Daylight Saving feature.4.11.2.1.9 Advance Hour FactorThis parameter enables configuring the amount of time by which the clock should be advanced during the daylight saving period.The range is from 0 to 4:45 (hours) in steps of 15 minutes.4.11.2.2 Clock ParametersIn the current release Clock Parameters are not configurable. The Show option for Clock Parameters displays the default Clock Mode (Master) and the sources for the main clocks in the system according to the Clock Mode.The Clock Parameters submenu includes the following:Clock ModeExternal 1PPS ClockExternal 10MHz Clock

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration GPS MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 167 System Manual4.11.2.2.1 Clock Mode The Clock Mode parameters defines the location of the unit in the chain. The available options (not applicable for the current release) are:MasterSlave#1 (the first Slave unit in the chain, connected to the Master unit)Slave#2 (the second Slave unit in the chain, connected to Slave#1)Slave#3 (the third Slave unit in the chain, connected to Slave#2) Slave#4 (the fourth Slave unit in the chain, connected to Slave#3)Slave#5 (the fifth Slave unit in the chain, connected to Slave#4)The default is Master.Under normal conditions, the clocks are supplied by the Master unit to the Slave units. If Slave#1 will detect that it does not receive clocks for a certain period of time, it will assume that the Master unit has failed and will start using its internal 10 MHz clock, supplying the clocks also to the other slave units (if exist). Slave#2 will wait for a longer period of time before assuming that both the Master and Slave#1 have failed, and so on.The functionality and operation mode of the main clocks is:4.11.2.2.2 External 1PPS ClockThe 1PPS (Pulse Per Second) clock is used to determine the air-frame start time. Assuming that all systems use the same air-frame size and DL/UL Ratio, then, when the 1PPS clock is received from a GPS system, this mechanism ensures inter-site and intra-site synchronization among all sectors, preventing cross interference and saturation problems. When using the internal 1PPS clock (derived from the 10MHz clock source), only intra-site synchronization among sectors can be achieved.For a Master unit the default External 1PPS Clock is Disable (use internal 1PPS clock source derived from either the built-in GPS receiver or from the 10MHz clock).For Slave units the default External 1PPS Clock is Enable (derived from the previous unit in the chain).

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration GPS MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 168 System Manual4.11.2.2.3 External 10MHz ClockThe 10MHz clock source is used for generation of all main clocking signals in the system, including the internal 1PPS clock when GPS Type is set to None or when the GPS receiver does not function properly. For a Master unit the default External 10MHz Clock is Disable (use internal clock source).For Slave units the default External 10MHz Clock is Enable (derived from the previous unit in the chain).
