WiMAX ASN Customer Premises Equipment – Mobile Subscriber (Handheld, PDA, PCMCIA) – Residential Gateways Base Station – 802.16e compliant (Time Duplex Division, – Adaptive Antenna System, Scalable Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access) WiMAX Access Controller or ASN-GW – Security and Authentication – Accounting : interfaces the AAA server – Traffic Routing interfaces the Core – Mobility : interfaces the HA during handover process Network management for BS and ASN-GW – NE configuration, Software management, – Network supervision, OSS interfaces Beyond 4G 7 WIMAX Network Architecture
- 8. ASN Profiles Profile Key Features Hierarchical model, with more intelligence located at the ASN Gateway. The ASN Gateway is involved in the Radio Resource A Management (RMM) and hosts the Radio Resource Controller (RRC). It also handles handoffs between BSUs. Open interfaces: R1, R3, R4, R6. Vendor-specific model with proprietary and closed R6 interface between BS and ASN-Gateway. BSs playing a more substantial role in managing B traffic and mobility while the ASN network acts as a black box. Open interfaces: R1, R3, R4. Centralized model similar to A, but BSUs are responsible for all the RRM, including the RRC and C Radio Resource Agent (RRA), and the handoffs between BSUs. Open interfaces: R1, R3, R4, R6.

WiMAX CSN Home Agent – For the control of the mobility Domain Name Server / DHCP – Translation of domain name into IP addresses Charging OSS Systems – IP addresses allocation AAA and Billing AAA Server – For authentication, authorization and accounting DNS-DHCP Firewall/NAT – Mapping of IP addresses from DHCP/DSN one group to another ( private / public transparent to end- CSN users. OSS Systems – Customer provisioning ,CRM – Network monitoring and troubleshooting BSS systems – Charging , billing formatting etc Beyond 4G 9 WIMAX Network Architecture
- 10. ASN Gateway in 802.16e WiMAX Networks ASN Gateway required for all 802.16e networks – Fixed, Nomadic, Portable, Mobile Subscriber Management – Facilitates Address Assignment (DCHP proxy, PMIP) – Authentication (EAP-based authenticator) – Service Flow Authorization and Creation – Accounting (Prepaid, Postpaid) Mobility – MIP Foreign Agent – Inter & Intra-ASN handovers – Paging/Idle Mode Network Optimization – Load Balancing – Seamless Handover support Beyond 4G 10 WIMAX Network Architecture
- 11. Home Agent in 802.16e WiMAX Networks Home Agent is required for Mobile 802.16e Networks (macro mobility) Mobility – Home Agent provides an anchor point for subscriber stations, enabling inter-ASN mobility – Works in conjunction with the Mobile IP Foreign Agent, located in the ASN Gateway, to register and track subscriber stations – When a subscriber station moves to a different ASN, the Home Agent intercepts traffic destined for the subscriber station and tunnels that traffic to the appropriate ASN Gateway/Foreign Agent – Subscriber Stations can maintain same IP address as they move about network IP Addressing – The Home Agent provides IP address assignment for subscriber stations in conjunction with the Proxy Mobile IP (PMIP) and DHCP proxy function in the ASN Gateway Beyond 4G 11 WIMAX Network Architecture
- 12. AAA Server in 8016.e WiMAX Networks AAA Server required for all 802.16e Networks Authentication – Key Management and Subscriber Authentication using EAP-based methods Accounting – Aggregation of accounting information, export CDRs to billing servers – Prepaid accounting & hotlining Policy (NWG Release 1) – QoS Profiles for Subscribers (NWG Release 1) Addressing – Home Agent address to use for Subscriber Stations – Optionally directly provide IP address for Subscriber Stations or DHCP server Beyond 4G 12 WIMAX Network Architecture
