Figure 1-1: Mobile WiMAX Network Reference Model Figure 1-2: ASN Reference Model containing Multiple ASN-GWs The various components and entities involved in the networking architecture are: 1.1.2.1 Access Service Network (ASN) An ASN is defined as a complete set of network functions needed to provide radio access to a WiMAX subscriber.
Chapter 1 - System DescriptionAbout WiMAX Chapter 1 - System Description About WiMAX WiMAX Layer-2 (L2) connectivity with WiMAX mobile station (MS) Transfer of AAA messages to the WiMAX subscriber's home network service provider (H-NSP) for authentication, authorization and session accounting for subscriber sessions Network discovery and selection of the WiMAX subscriber's preferred NSP Relay functionality for establishing Layer-3 (L3) connectivity with a WiMAX MS (i.e.
Chapter 1 - System DescriptionAbout WiMAX Chapter 1 - System Description About WiMAX services, an 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. 1.1.2.
Chapter 1 - System DescriptionAbout WiMAX Chapter 1 - System Description About WiMAX 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, and the BTS operates in transparent mode, as shown in Figure 1-3.
