Laser Safety Statutory Warning
All personnel involved in equipment installation, operation, and maintenance must be aware that laser
radiation is invisible. Therefore, although protective devices generally prevent directly exposure to the beam,
personnel must strictly observe the applicable safety precautions, and in particular, must avoid staring into
optical connectors, either directly or using optical instruments.
Remember that observing safety precautions is not a matter of personal choice; ignoring safety puts all people
within the line-of-sight in danger.
Précautions de sécurité réglementaire pour laser
Tout personnel impliqué dans l’installation, le fonctionnement et la maintenance de l’installation doivent
savoir que les radiations laser sont invisibles . Donc , bien que généralement les protections évitent tout contact
direct avec les rayons émis, le personnel doit observer strictement les précautions de sécurité et en particulier ,
les connecteurs optiques , aussi bien directement ou avec des instruments d’optique.
Souvenez vous que remplir les précautions de sécurité n’est en aucun cas un choix personnel; ignorer les règles
de sécurité mets toutes les personnes en présence en danger.
Radio
The instrument transmits radio energy during normal operation. To avoid possible harmful exposure to this

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. 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.

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
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 DescriptionAbout WiMAX
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
Telrad 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 DescriptionAbout WiMAX
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.

Antennas
In the system 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 solution, Telrad 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, Telrad can provide a recommended antenna
specification based on the required antennas types.
Antennas may support mechanical down-tilt (MDT) using a suitable mounting kit, or electrical down-tilt
(EDT) that may be either fixed or adjustable using a special adjustment screw.
In addition to a range of standard commercial antennas, Telrad offers also a special attached antenna
designed for convenient installation on top of the COMPACT unit. For the COMPACT HP unit, a special
mounting kit allows installation of a standard antenna on top of the unit to minimize the space required
for installation.
For details on antennas offered by Telrad refer to “Antennas” on page 19.
1.2.5
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).

Interfaces” on page 45.
b See “L1 & L2” on page 47 for details on the Ethernet port used for External Management
interface.
Connection of the applicable Ethernet port to the remote management device should typically be
performed via a network device configured to support the External Management Interface VLAN
ID (the default is 12).
d If the PC is connected to the Ethernet port of the unit via a switching device, the IP address of the
PC should be set to an address in the subnet of the External Management Interface (the default is
IP Address 192.168.1.1 and Subnet Mask 255.255.255.0).
e If access is via a routing device, configure the Next Hop Gateway parameter of the External
Management Interface (the default is 0.0.0.0 meaning none) to a valid value (in the subnet of the
External Management Interface). Set the IP address of the routing device’s port connected to the
unit to the address of the Next Hop Gateway. Set the IP address of the PC according to the IP

(pools). The BS applies round-robin mechanism in order to pick an Authenticator for each MS that
performs initial network entry (for more details refer to “ASN-GW Load Balancing” on page 77). This
should eventually distribute the load between Anchor ASN-GWs. Geographical site backup can be
achieved by using different priority of ASN-GW pools (Authenticator “metric”.
At the unit (BTS) level, up to two pools (with different priorities), each with up to 10 ASN-GWs, can be
defined. Each BS will “inherit” these pools.
The ASN-GW Load Balancing Pools submenu includes two options: Primary Pool and Secondary Pool.
Select the Primary or Secondary Pool option to view or update the pool’s content. The options available
for each pool are:
Show: Select this option to view the current content of the pool.
Add: Select this option to add an ASN-GW address to the pool (up to a maximum of 10 addresses per
pool). You will be prompted to define the Index for the entry (a unique number in the range from 1 to
10) before defining the IP Address. An IP Address must be unique per both pools. Broadcast and
Multicast addresses are not legal. By default both pools are empty.
Select: Use this option to select an existing entry in the pool by it’s Index. You can then view the
entry’s IP Address, update the IP Address, or delete the entry.
Note that you should not populate the Secondary Pool if the Primary Pool is empty. Also, you should not
delete all entries from the Primary Pool if the Secondary Pool is not empty.
A change in the content of the pools will take effect after next reset.

Paging Group ID
The Paging Group ID of the BS.
The single sector Idle Mode capability provides the benefits of MS power savings and manageable total
sector active and non active users, together with reduced overhead on the backhaul network.
Idle Mode (IM) mechanism allows an MS to become unavailable on the air interface, and thus freeing
operational resources and preserving MS power. During IM operation, an MS switch off its transmission
and reception capabilities, and becomes available for DL broadcast control messaging, i.e., MS Paging, in
a periodically manner. Using paging broadcast, BS can indicate (if necessary) the MS to exit from IM and
return into normal operation mode. The paging control message is sent over the DL of a set of BSs
simultaneously. This set is called Paging group (PG). In the current release, each Paging Group includes a
single BS.
During IM, MS performs location updates when moving from one PG to another. While in the same PG,
MS does not need to transmit in the UL and can be paged in the DL if there is traffic targeted at it.
The range is from 0 to 65535. 0 means that Idle Mode is not enabled. If Idle Mode is enabled (Paging
Group ID is not 0), should be unique in the Radio Access Network (different Paging Group ID for each
BS). Idle Mode should be either enabled in all units in the network (Paging Group ID other than 0) or
disabled in all units (Paging Group ID = 0). A combination in the same Radio Access Network of units
with Paging Group ID of 0 (Idle Mode disabled) and units with Paging Group ID other than 0 (Idle Mode
enabled) should be avoided.

BreezeCOMPACT System Manual

Chapter 3 - Operation and AdministrationBS Menu
Chapter 3 - Operation and Administration
BS Menu
In MIMO Matrix A or B mode the system can use either MIMO Matrix A or MIMO Matrix B. The selection
between Matrix A and Matrix B is performed automatically for each MS according to link conditions and
supported MS capabilities.
MIMO Matrix A for Coverage Gain: In configuration with multiple transmit/receive antennas, a single
data stream is transmitted in parallel over multiple paths. A mathematical algorithm known as Space
Time Codes (STC) is used to encode the data streams to make them orthogonal to each other. This
improves the signal to noise ratio at the receiver side, resulting in increased range and better
throughput for subscribers that are difficult to reach (e.g. deep indoors).
MIMO Matrix B for Increased Capacity: This flavor of MIMO, also known as Spatial Multiplexing
MIMO (SM-MIMO), sends an independent data stream over each antenna. Thus, in case signal
conditions are good, the data rate is increased and in excellent conditions may be doubled.

3.7.2.5.4
Ducting Mitigation Mode
Sudden changes in the atmosphere's moisture and temperature profiles can on random occasions make
radio signals propagate hundreds of kilometers and even more, far beyond the normal radio-horizon.
When a BS suffers from such tropospheric ducting phenomena causing reception of a relatively strong
signal transmitted by a very far BTS, the Ducting Mitigation feature enables increasing the time period
between DL and UL transmissions to reduce potential interference effects. This is achieved by adding DL
Silenced Symbols and, if necessary, changing the number of Extra TTG slots (see below). This results in
reducing the actual UL Duration by 1 slot (Medium Ducting Mitigation Mode) or 2 slots (High Ducting
Mitigation Mode) without affecting the number of DL symbols (for the same combination of Configured
Total Uplink Duration and Maximum Cell Radius).
Note that for certain values of configured Total Uplink Duration the High and/or Medium options are not
available since the minimum uplink duration is 4 slots for a BS bandwidth of 5/10 MHz or 3 slots for a BS
bandwidth of 7 MHz.
The options are None, Medium or High.
The default is None.

The range is from 0 (none) to 10. The default is 5.
3.7.2.8.4
Retransmissions Time Out
Time in milliseconds to wait for a response before initiating another polling attempt or reaching a
decision that the polled entity has failed (if the maximum number of retries set by Number of
Retransmissions has been reached).
The range is from 5000 to 10000 milliseconds (5 to 10 second). The default is 5000.
3.7.2.9
Scheduler
Scheduling uncommitted (above the maximum reserved rate) traffic can be done using one of the
following options:
Equal Time (ET) scheduling mode, in which air resources are being scheduled in a fair manner
proportional to the users' excess traffic (maximum sustained rate - maximum reserved rate) SLAs.
Equal Rate (ER) scheduling mode, in which air resources are allocated to users aiming at ensuring data
rate fairness between users proportional to their excess traffic SLAs.
Assuming a sector with diversity (different channels conditions) of active users, ET scheme enables
higher aggregate sector throughput at the expense of data-rate fairness among users, while ER
scheduling scheme ensures maximum data-rate fairness among users at the expense of lower aggregate
sector throughput.
Using ER scheduling scheme exposes the system to excessive allocation of air resources to highly active
users having relatively poorer channel conditions. To ensure data-rate fairness, more resources will to be
allocated to these users compared to users with relatively good channel conditions. The effect of a small
number of such users within the sector will be reflected by reduced aggregate sector throughput as well
as degradation of achievable rates for all users.
To protect against “abusing” users, an instantaneous rate threshold can be defined within the
scheduling scheme in which the amount of air resources for users with continuous instantaneous rate
below the threshold is being limited. The more the abusing users' instantaneous rate is below the
threshold, the more resource allocations limitation is applied.

Three levels of dynamic protection are available:
No protection.
Low protection level - Protection against users with very poor channel conditions. Should be used
where the abusing users instantaneous rates are far below the average instantaneous rate within the
sector.
Medium protection - Protection against users with relatively poor or very poor channel conditions.
Should be used where the abusing users instantaneous rates are below or far below the average
instantaneous rate within sector.
A dynamic protection mechanism is implemented, in which the mechanism of limiting resource
allocations is automatically and dynamically activated when needed.
