PAGE 26
Chapter 1 - System Description 4Motion Solution Figure 1-3: ASN Reference Model containing Multiple ASN-GWs The various components and entities involved in the networking architecture are: 1.2.2.1 Access Service Network (ASN) An ASN is defined as a complete set of network functions needed to provide radio access to a WiMAX subscriber.
PAGE 27
Chapter 1 - System Description 4Motion Solution 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). 1.2.2.2 Connectivity Service Network (CSN) A CSN is defined as a set of network functions that provide IP connectivity services to WiMAX subscribers.
PAGE 28
Chapter 1 - System Description 4Motion Solution 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. 1.2.2.5 Base Station (BS) The WiMAX BS is an entity that implements the WiMAX MAC and PHY in compliance with the IEEE 802.16e standard. A BS operates on one frequency assignment, and incorporates scheduler functions for uplink and downlink resources.

Chapter 1 - System Description 4Motion Solution 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 centralized approach there is at least one central ASN-GW, a
PAGE 30
Chapter 1 - System Description 4Motion Solution In the distributed approach, the BTS NPU operates in ASN-GW mode, as shown in Figure 1-5. Figure 1-5: 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. 1.2.2.

When several shelves are collocated, the NPU cascade interface can be used for shelf interconnection. In this architecture, the NPU that is directly connected to the backhaul implements a layer-2 connection toward the NPUs in the cascaded shelves. Bearer, control and management traffic is sent over the cascade connection.
