Chapter 1 - System Description 1.1 About 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 WiMAX Network Architecture 1.2 WiMAX Network Architecture 1.2.1 The WiMAX Network Reference Model Figure 1-1 shows the basic mobile WiMAX network architecture as defined by the WiMAX Forum NWG. . Figure 1-1: Mobile WiMAX Network Reference Model Figure 1-2 shows the ASN-GW architecture for networks with multiple ASN-GWs (distributed network architecture).
Chapter 1 - System Description WiMAX Network Architecture Figure 1-2: ASN Reference Model containing Multiple ASN-GWs 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.
Chapter 1 - System Description WiMAX Network Architecture 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). 1.2.3 Connectivity Service Network (CSN) A CSN is defined as a set of network functions that provide IP connectivity services to WiMAX subscribers.
Chapter 1 - System Description WiMAX Network Architecture 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. 1.2.
Chapter 1 - System Description WiMAX Network Architecture 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 centra
Chapter 1 - System Description WiMAX Network Architecture 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, BreezeMAX Extreme is designed to support both distributed and centralized topology approaches according to WiMAX Forum NWG profile C. 1.
Chapter 1 - System Description WiMAX Network Architecture 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.
Chapter 1 - System Description BreezeMAX Extreme 1.3 BreezeMAX Extreme 1.3.1 General BreezeMAX Extreme is a full-outdoor, all-in-one small WiMAX Base Transceiver Station.

Chapter Glossary
AAA Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (pronounced "triple a."). A system (or several systems) that controls what resources users have access to, and keeps track of the activity of users over the network. AAS Adaptive Antenna System, also called Advanced Antenna System, is a technology to enable the network operators to increase the wireless network capacity.
CSMA/CD Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection. Media-access mechanisms wherein devices ready to transmit data first check the channel for a carrier. If no carrier is sensed for a specific period of time, a device can transmit. If two devices transmit at once, a collision occurs and is detected by all colliding devices. This collision subsequently delays retransmissions from those devices for some random length of time. Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 use CSMA/CD access.
ETS European Telecommunications Standard ETSI European Telecommunications Standards Institute. A non-profit organization producing voluntary telecommunications standards used throughout Europe, some of which have been adopted by the EC as the technical base for Directives or Regulations. GPS Global Positioning System. A system that uses satellites, receivers and software to allow users to determine their precise geographic position. GRE General Routing Encapsulation.
IGMP Internet Group Membership Protocol) is protocol used by IP hosts to report their host group memberships to any immediately neighboring multicast routers. The use of IP multicasting in TCP/IP networks is defined as a TCP/IP standard in RFC 1112. In addition to defining address and host extensions for how IP hosts support multicasting, this RFC also defines the IGMP version 1. Version 2 of IGMP is defined in RFC 2236.
NMS Network Management System. A system responsible for managing at least part of a network. An NMS is generally a reasonably powerful and well-equipped computer, such as an engineering workstation. NMSs communicate with agents to help keep track of network statistics and resources. NSP Network Service Provider. An NSP is a business entity that provides IP connectivity and WiMAX services to WiMAX subscribers compliant with the established service level agreement.
RF Radio frequency. An AC signal of high enough frequency to be used for wireless communications. RFC Request For Comments. The name of the result and the process for creating a standard on the Internet. New standards are proposed and published on the Internet, as a Request For Comments. The proposal is reviewed by the Internet Engineering Task Force. RoHS Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous Substances in electrical and electronic equipment, reference EC Directive 2002/95/EC of 27 January 2003.
VoIP Voice over Internet Protocol. Provides an advanced digital communications network that bypasses the traditional public switched telephone system and uses the Internet to transmit voice communication. VoIP enables people to use the Internet as the transmission medium for telephone calls by sending voice data in packets using IP rather than by traditional circuit switched transmissions of the PSTN.
