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. 1.1.2 WiMAX Network Reference Model Figure 1-1 and Figure 1-2 show the basic mobile WiMAX network architecture, with a single ASN-GW and with multiple ASN-GWs, as defined by the WiMAX Forum NWG BreezeCOMPACT System Manual Chapter 1 - System DescriptionAbout WiMAX 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 DescriptionAbout WiMAX 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 DescriptionAbout WiMAX 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 DHCP functionality BreezeCOMPACT System Manual Chapter 1 - System DescriptionAbout WiMAX Chapter 1 - System Description About WiMAX 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.

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). It is an integral part of 4Motion end-to-end solution. BreezeCOMPACT BTS complements Telrad'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. Telrad's COMPACT family and 4Motion Micro and Macro solutions share similar functionality with same ecosystem, allowing flexible mix & match approach to address various operator deployment needs. Telrad 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 Centralized Authentication INFORMATION In the current release only External ASN-GW network architecture is supported. BreezeCOMPACT System Manual Chapter 1 - System DescriptionThe BreezeCOMPACT Solution 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 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 is supported.

BreezeCOMPACT System Manual 11 Chapter 1 - System DescriptionThe BreezeCOMPACT Solution Chapter 1 - System Description The BreezeCOMPACT Solution Figure 1-7: Two Sectors, Two Carriers (One Carrier per Sector) 1.2.4 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). BreezeCOMPACT System Manual 12 Chapter 1 - System DescriptionThe BreezeCOMPACT Solution Chapter 1 - System Description The BreezeCOMPACT Solution The all-outdoor GPS Receiver is a pole mountable GPS receiver and antenna in a single environmentally protected enclosure that is powered from the unit.

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 70 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. 3.7.2.3 Mobility The Mobility menu enables viewing/updating the value configured for the following parameter: 3.7.2.3.1 Deployment The type of deployment in the area served by the BS: Fix or Mobile.

The available options are 1, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10. The default is 2. A change in IR CDMA Allocations Period will take effect after next reset. 3.7.2.5.2 Start of Ranging Codes Used The starting number of the group of codes used for the uplink. The available options are 0, 64, 128, 192. The default is 0. A change in Start of Ranging Codes Used will take effect after next reset. 3.7.2.5.3 Maximum Cell Radius The maximum cell radius (in km). The available values are 1, 2, 4, 8, 15, 23. 30. The default is 2. A change in Maximum Cell Radius will take effect after next reset. 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).

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. BreezeCOMPACT System Manual 79 Chapter 3 - Operation and AdministrationBS Menu Chapter 3 - Operation and Administration BS Menu 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.
