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. R4 is
supported only when Centralized ASN GW is deployed.
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. R5 is supported only when Centralized ASN
GW is deployed.
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. R6 is supported only when
Centralized ASN GW is deployed.
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. R8 is
supported only when Centralized ASN GW is deployed.
NOTE
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 The Base Transceiver Station (BTS)
BreezeMAX Extreme 19 System Manual
1.3 The Base Transceiver Station (BTS)
The BTS includes up to two 16E WiMax SoC with two radio channels connectable
to two internal radio heads.
The different models of the unit can provide the following operational modes:
1Single WiMax SoC using 2nd Order Diversity - This system operation mode can
be applicable in licensed and unlicensed frequency bands providing up to
10MHz BWs per sector.
2Dual WiMax SoC using 2nd Order Diversity - This system operation mode can
be applicable in licensed and unlicensed frequency bands providing up to
20MHz BWs per sector.
The BTS housing depends on power consumption figures; The following figures
show the BTS cases of the high power and low/medium power BTSs.
1.3.1 Antenna
In the BreezeMAX Extreme 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 BreezeMAX Extreme solution, Alvarion works
closely with several antenna suppliers to ensure availability of antennas that
comply with its requirements.

Chapter 1 - System Description The Base Transceiver Station (BTS)
BreezeMAX Extreme 20 System Manual
In cases where the operator prefers other antenna vendors, Alvarion can provide a
recommended antenna specification based on the required antennas types.
For more information on recommended antenna configurations and required
antennas refer to “Antenna Configurations” on page 835.
1.3.2 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.
