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 4 System Manual1.2 WiMAX Network Architecture1.2.1 The WiMAX Network Reference ModelFigure 1-1 shows the basic mobile WiMAX network architecture as defined by the WiMAX Forum NWG..Figure 1-2 shows the ASN-GW architecture for networks with multiple ASN-GWs (distributed network architecture).Figure 1-1: Mobile WiMAX Network Reference Model
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
Chapter 1 - System Description WiMAX Network ArchitectureBreezeMAX Extreme 7 System ManualNSP 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.1.2.6 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 optionally, if applicable, 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 entity1.2.7 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 provides bearer plane functions, and the DP provides 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
Chapter 1 - System Description WiMAX Network ArchitectureBreezeMAX Extreme 8 System ManualGeneration of authentication key materialQoS service flow authorization entityAAA accounting clientThe basic EP functionality of the ASN-GW includes:Classification of downlink data into generic routing encapsulation (GRE) tunnelsPacket header suppression functionality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
Chapter 1 - System Description WiMAX Network ArchitectureBreezeMAX Extreme 9 System ManualIn the distributed approach, the BTS operates in ASN-GW mode, as shown in Figure 1-4. 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, BreezeMAX Extreme is designed to support both distributed and centralized topology approaches according to WiMAX Forum NWG profile C.1.2.8 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).Figure 1-4: Distributed 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 (if supported) 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 4 - Operation and Administration BTS MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 102 System Manual4.5.4.5.8 TCP EnhancerWhen TCP Enhancer is enabled, TCP ACK packets rate on the downlink (for uplink TCP data traffic) is moderated, thus increasing the TCP ACK rate on uplink direction for the downlink TCP data traffic. It is mainly useful in extreme asynchronous DL/UL ratios (e.g. DL=75/UL=25), thus maximizing capacity in both directions.The options are Disable and Enable. The default is Disable.4.5.4.5.9 DFS/DCSThe DFS/DCS parameters are applicable only for 5 GHz units. The DFS (Dynamic Frequency Selection) feature is applicable only for units using a Country Code specifying that DFS must be used (DFS may also be enabled in units using Universal Country Code). Note that for certain Country Codes DFS support and Channel Availability Check Time may vary among the relevant sub-bands supported by the Country Code.Most parameters of the DFS and DCS features are managed at the sector level (see “DFS/DCS (5 GHz units only)” on page 170). The DFS/DCS parameters at the BTS level that are common to both sectors (if applicable) include:Random Channel SelectionDFS TypeDFS Frequencies Management Level4.5.4.5.9.1 Random Channel SelectionThe Random Channel Selection parameter defines the method of selecting channels for scanning by the DCS and/or the DFS mechanisms.When the DCS mechanism is enabled and Random Channel Selection is enabled, the list of channels to be scanned is selected randomly from the list of all available channels in the relevant band according to the Country Code. The number of channels in the list is defined by the Number of Channels to Scan parameter (see “Number of Channels to Scan” on page 180). If Random Channel Selection is disabled, the list of channels will be defined by the user (see “Usable Frequencies” on page 180).If DCS is disabled and DFS is enabled, the Random Channel Selection parameter defines the method of selecting channels for the DFS mechanism.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration BTS MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 103 System ManualIf Random Channel Selection is enabled, a new channel to be tested is selected randomly from the list of all available channels in the relevant band. If Random Channel Selection is disabled, the new channel to be tested will be selected from the list of channels defined by the user (see “Usable Frequencies” on page 180).The default is Disable (use the Usable Frequencies list).4.5.4.5.9.2 DFS TypeThe DFS Type parameter defines the DFS algorithm to be used. DFS Type is configurable only for Universal Country Code.The available DFS algorithm are ETSI, FCC, Normal ETSI, Normal FCC.ETSI/FCC: The algorithm searches (passive listening) for radar signals according to relevant ETSI or FCC regulations. To increase the probability of radar detection for compliance with the relevant regulations, additional silence zone is added to the uplink at the expense of slightly reduced throughput in the downlink.Normal ETSI/Normal FCC: The algorithm searches for radars according to relevant ETSI or FCC regulations. However, the DL/UL ratio is not affected (probability of detection is lower than required by the relevant regulations).The default is Normal ETSI.4.5.4.5.9.3 DFS Frequencies Management LevelThe Frequencies Management Level parameter is not applicable if the selected Country Code does not support DFS. The DFS Frequencies Management Level parameter defines the method of handling the DFS Frequencies Status Table (see “Show Frequencies Status Table” on page 175) in units using Dual Sector Dual BS no Diversity operation mode. When set to Sector Level, the Frequencies Table of each sector is managed independently. When set to BTS Level, each sector uses information about frequencies (Radar Detected/Clear Channel) from the other one.CAUTIONIf due to either restrictions imposed by local regulations or any other reason you cannot use the entire frequency band supported by the selected Country Code, you should disable the Random Channel Selection option and use the Usable Frequency option to define the frequencies manually (see Section 4.7.2.2.2.3).For example, when using the 5.4 GHz FCC Country Code, you may use either frequencies in the 5470-5600 MHz and 5650-5725 MHz bands (with FCC), or frequencies in the 5725-5850 MHz band.
