Chapter 1 - System Description 1.1 About WiMAX 1.1.1 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. With huge market potential and affordable deployment costs, mobile WiMAX is on the verge of a major breakthrough.
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.
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.
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.
Chapter 1 - System Description About WiMAX 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.
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 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, 4Motion is designed to support both distributed and centralized topology approaches according to WiMAX Forum NWG profile C. 1.1.2.
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.
Chapter 1 - System Description 1.2 The BreezeCOMPACT Solution 1.2.1 BreezeCOMPACT Highlights The BreezeCOMPACT Solution BreezeCOMPACT is a small, lightweight, all-outdoor single box base transceiver station enabling easy installation and maintenance and reduced Total Cost of Ownership (TCO).
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.
Chapter 1 - System Description The BreezeCOMPACT Solution Figure 1-5: One Sector, One Carrier 1.2.3.2 One Sector, Dual Carrier Two BSs support a single 4x4 sector with a total bandwidth of 20 (10+10) or 14 (7+7) MHz. Figure 1-6: One Sector, Dual Carrier 1.2.3.3 Two Sector, Two Carriers (One Carrier per Sector) Two BSs support two 2x2 sectors, each with a bandwidth of 10 or 7 MHz.
Chapter 1 - System Description The BreezeCOMPACT Solution Figure 1-7: Two Sectors, Two Carriers (One Carrier per Sector) 1.2.4 Antennas In the 4Motion 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.
Chapter 1 - System Description 1.2.5 The BreezeCOMPACT Solution 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.
Chapter 1 - System Description 1.3 Element Management Systems Element Management Systems The end-to-end IP-based architecture of the system enables full management of all components, using standard management tools. An SNMP agent in the NPU implements proprietary MIBs for remote setting of operational modes and parameters of the Base Transceiver Station equipment. Security features incorporated in the equipment restrict the access for management purposes.
