Chapter 1 - System Description System Overview Figure 1-4: Mobile WiMAX Network Reference Model Figure 1-5: ASN Reference Model containing Multiple ASN-GWs The various components and entities involved in the networking architecture are described in the next sections.
Chapter 1 - System Description 1.2.5.1 System Overview 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 System Overview 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. 1.2.5.
Chapter 1 - System Description System Overview Handover management QoS service flow management entity 1.2.5.6 ASN Gateway (ASN-GW) check accuracyThe 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 provides bearer plane functions, and the DP provides non-bearer plane functions.
Chapter 1 - System Description System Overview T . Figure 1-6: Centralized Network Reference Model In the distributed approach, the BTS NPU operates in ASN-GW mode, as shown in Figure 1-7.
Chapter 1 - System Description System Overview Figure 1-7: 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. 1.2.5.
Chapter 1 - System Description System Overview 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. R4 is supported only when Centralized ASN GW is deployed.
