ASN Definition
The ASN can access to multiple connectivity service
networks (CSNs) and provide radio access service to the
CSN of different network service providers (NSPs). The
ASN manages the air interface of IEEE 802.16 and provides
radio access to the WiMAX subscribers.

Profile
A profile maps ASN functions into BS and ASN-GW so that
protocols and messages over the exposed reference point
are identified.
WiMAX NWG defines three types of profile. They are profile
A, B and C.

1.3 Reference Points of ASN

Reference Point
A reference point (RP) is a conceptual link that connects
two groups of functions that reside in different functional
entities of an ASN, CSN, or MS.
R3 and R4
R3: Reference Point R3 consists of the set of Control Plane protocols
between the ASN and the CSN to support AAA, policy enforcement and
mobility management capabilities. It also encompasses the Bearer Plane
methods (e.g., tunneling) to transfer user data between the ASN and the
CSN.
R4: 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 RP between similar or heterogeneous ASNs.
R5 and R6
R5: Reference Point R5 consists of the set of Control Plane and Bearer
Plane protocols for internetworking between the CSN operated by the
home NSP and that operated by a visited NSP.R3
R6: Reference point R6 consists of the set of control and Bearer Plane
protocols for communication between the BS and the ASN-GW. The
Bearer Plane consists of intra-ASN data path between the BS and ASN
gateway. The Control Plane includes protocols for data path
establishment, modification, and release control in accordance with the
MS mobility events.

Postpaid (offline) Accounting
The postpaid service allows users to use the network
services before paying. The ASN-GW collects the
accounting information of the MS and generates the usage
data record (UDR). The user pays based on the final bills.

Prepaid (online) Accounting
A prepaid service (PPS) requires users to pay for a service
before using the service. In a data prepaid service, it refers
to a certain amount of call duration or traffic volumes. The
resource utilization by the user, such as duration, traffic, or
duration plus traffic, is traced in real time, and the charge is
deducted from the account in real time.

QoS-based Accounting
The ASN-GW can carry the flow ID in the usage data record
(UDR). The authentication, authorization and accounting
(AAA) server can check the corresponding quality of service
(QoS) information against the flow ID so that QoS-based
accounting is realized.

Service Flow Management
A service flow is a unidirectional flow of packets that is
provided a particular QoS.
NWG 1.1.0 defines following service flows:
Pre-provisioned service flow creation, modification and deletion
Initial Service Flow creation and deletion
Service Flow management to support MS mobility

Paging Network Reference Model
Idle Mode
Idle Mode is intended as a mechanism to allow the MS to
become periodically available for DL broadcast traffic
messaging without registration at a specific BS.
When the MS enters the idle mode for saving power or
network resources because frequent handovers are not
needed when the MS moves, the network can precisely
locate the MS and by using the paging mechanism can
make the MS return to the active mode if necessary.
Location Management
MS performs Location Update procedure when it meets the
location update conditions as specified in IEEE 802.16e
specification. The MS shall use one of two processes for
Location Update: Secure Location Update or Unsecured
Location Update.

3. Usage Scenario

Usage Scenario
As the core network element of the WiMAX, the ASN-GW is
applied in the WiMAX network. The ASN-GW supports four
usage scenarios defined in the WiMAX system, including:
Fixed Access Scenario, Nomadic Access Scenario, Portable
Access Scenario and Simple Mobile Access Scenario.
Fixed
The stationary access service is the most basic service
mode of the WiMAX.
Enterprise
School
BS
Nomadic
The nomadic access is the step beyond the stationary
access. The MS can access to the WiMAX network at
different access locations.
Wireless Camera
TV Rebroadcast
BS
Portable
The portable access is the step beyond the nomadic access.
The mobility and handover of terminals can be realized in
this scenario.
Laptop
PDA
UMPC
BS
Simple Mobile
The simple mobile access scenario is the step beyond the
portable access. The reliable handover between BSs is
available.

Questions
How many usage scenarios in WiMAX network?

Summary
ASN means access service network. It access to multiple
connectivity service networks (CSNs) and provide radio
access to subscribers. Profile A, B and C define different
ASN architecture.
ASN-GW is the key element of WiMAX ASN. Its performs
function and resource management.
