The 4
th
generation of wireless mobile networks, WiMAX 802.16e, is creating high speed internet
connectivity anywhere, providing for broadband connectivity while supporting Authentication,
Billing, and Management of mobile users. For that purpose it requires a full eco-system
involving multiple vendors and a number of components:
o Radio Access Network (RAN) - Wireless BTS and Subscriber Devices (also known
as the Access Service Network or ASN)
o Access Service Network Gateway (ASN-GW)
o Core Network - Management, AAA, TR-69, etc
o Applications – To run on or connect to subscriber devices
In this section we describe at a high level the different elements and their roles in the network.
The architecture reference model in Figure 6 illustrates the interconnections between the
various system components. PureWave maintains a catalogue of network elements that have
