Mobile WiMAX Outdoor RAS SPI-2331 System Description

CHAPTER 1. Overview of Mobile

WiMAX System

1.1 Introduction to Mobile WiMAX

The Mobile WiMAX system is the wireless network system that supports IEEE 802.16e2005 base service. The IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard is the basis of Mobile WiMAX, and adds the technologies supporting m obilit y, which include handover, pagi ng and o thers , to IEE E

802.16-2004 defining fixed wireless internet access service.

The wireless LAN(WLAN, Wireless Local Area Network) can provide high speed data services, but its radio wave is short and covers only small areas, and also gives limited user mobility. It is difficult for WLAN to ensure Quality of Service(QoS) for data service. On the contrary, the present mobile communication networks support the mobility of the users, but the service charge and the cost of system operations are high due to the limited wireless resources. To provide faster service in the existing mobile communication networks, it requires a separate wireless communication technology such as High Speed Downlink Packet Access(HSDPA) for the data services.

Mobile WiMAX can, therefore, overcome the limitations of the WLAN and present mobile communication networks, and accommodate only the advantages of the system. Mobile WiMAX can ultimately provide the high speed wireless internet services with low cost at any time and in anyplace.

Samsung Mobile WiMAX System provides high speed data services using the transmission technology of Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access(OFDMA) by the Time Division Duplex(TDD), and can give wider coverage compared to the existing WLAN. The system performance and the capacity have been expanded by the high performance hardware, and thus, it can easily give various functions and services to the users.

The Mobile WiMAX system consists of Radio Access Station(RAS), Access Control Router(ACR) and Mobile WiMAX System Manager(WSM). RAS manages 802.16 Medium Access Control(MAC)/Physical Layer(PHY) function for Mobile Station(MS), ACR manages various control functions and interworking function between Mobile WiMAX ASN system and CSN system.

Page 13

CHAPTER 1. Overview of Mobile WiMAX System

System Support Standards Network Working Group(NWG) of Mobile WiMAX Forum defines the Mobile

WiMAX network as Access Service Network(ASN) and Connectivity Service Network(CSN). Samsung’s RAS is Base Station(BS) and ACR is ASN-GW (Gateway) of ASN, respectively. RAS and ACR are based on ASN Profile C and Wave 2 Profile defined in the Mobile WiMAX Forum and the Wave 2 Profile contains Wave 1 Profile.

1.2 Characteristics of the Mobile WiMAX System

The major characteristics of Mobile WiMAX system are listed below.

High Compatibility and Cross-Interworking

The Mobile WiMAX system is based on IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard and complies with Wave 2 Profile and ASN Profile C of the Mobile WiMAX Forum. Therefore, the Mobile WiMAX system provides high compatibility and excellent cross-interworking.

High Performance Module Structure

The Mobile WiMAX system has high performance by using high-performance processor and provides the module structure that it is easy to upgrade hardware and software.

MIMO and Wideband Support

The Mobile WiMAX system supports Multiple Input Multiple Output(MIMO) and applies the power amplifier to support wideband operation bandwidth.

Maintenance Function with Strengthened Security

The Mobile WiMAX system provides the security function(SNMPv3, SSH, SFTP and HTTPs) to all channels for operation and maintenance and authenticates the operator and assign the right for system access.

CHAPTER 1. Overview of Mobile WiMAX System

Access Control Router (ACR)

ACR, which is the system between CSN and RAS, enables several RASs to interwork with IP network, sends/receives traffic between external network and MS, and controls QoS. ACR connects to Authentication Authorization Accounting(AAA) server and Policy & Charging Rules Function(PCRF) server in Diameter protocol method and provides the interface to NE of CSN.

Mobile WiMAX System Manager (WSM)

WSM provides the management environment for the operator to operate and maintain ACR and RAS.

Home Agent (HA)

HA accesses other networks or private networks and enables Mobile IP(MIP) users to access internet. HA interworks with ACR that performs Foreign Agent(FA) function for Mobile IPv4 and interworks with MS to exchange data for Mobile IPv6.

Authorization, Authentication and Accounting (AAA) Server

AAA server interfaces with ACR and carries out subscriber authentication and accounting functions. The AAA server interfaces with ACR via Diameter protocol and provides Extensible Authentication Protocol(EAP) certification.

Policy & Charging Rules Function (PCRF) Server

The PCRF server is the server that manages the service policy and interfaces with ACR via Diameter protocol. The PCRF server sends QoS setting information for each user session and accounting rule information to ACR.

CHAPTER 1. Overview of Mobile WiMAX System

The RAS performs the Service Flow Management(SFM) function to create/change/release connections for each Service Flow(SF) and the admission control function while creating/changing connections. In regard to the SFM function of the RAS, the ACR carries out the SF Authentication(SFA) and SFID management functions. The ACR carries out the SFA function to obtain the QoS information from Policy Function(PF) and apply it in the SF creation and performs the SFID management function to create/change/release SFID and map SF according to the packet classification.

In handover, the RAS performs the handover control function to determine the execution of the handover and deal with corresponding handover signaling. The ACR confirms the neighbor BS list and relays the handover signaling message to the target system. At this time, the ACR and the RAS carries out the context function to exchange the context information between the target system and the serving system.

The RAS performs the Radio Resource Control(RRC) and RR Agent(RRA) functions to collect/manage the radio resource information(e.g., BSID) from MSs and the RAS itself.

Mobile WiMAX Outdoor RAS SPI-2331 System Description

CHAPTER 2. Overview of Outdoor

SPI-2331

2.1 Introduction to Outdoor SPI-2331

As an ultra-small RAS of Mobile WiMAX, the outdoor SPI-2331 connects Mobile WiMAX to MS under ACR control.

The outdoor SPI-2331 interfaces with MS via a wireless channel observing the Mobile WiMAX standard(IEEE 802.16e) and provides high-speed data service and multimedia service in wireless broadband. To this end, the outdoor SPI-2331 provides the following functions: modulation/demodulation of packet traffic signal, scheduling and radio bandwidth allocation to manage air resources efficiently and ensure Quality of Service(QoS), Automatic Repeat Request(ARQ) processing, ranging function, connection control function to transmit the information on the outdoor SPI-2331 and set/hold/disconnect the packet call connection, handover control and ACR interface function and system operation management function.

The outdoor SPI-2331 is connected to the ACR via Fast Ethernet and it can send/receive diverse control signals and traffic signals using a stable and fast process.

The outdoor SPI-2331 is installed in the outdoor environment and managed in the omni method. In addition, the outdoor SPI-2331 supports the capacity of the maximum 1Carrier/ Omni and MIMO only with the basic cabinet.

The characteristics of the outdoor SPI-2331 are as follows:

Application of the OFDMA Method

OFDMA is used to transmit data to several users simultaneously by using the sub-carrier allocated to each user and transmit data by allocating one or more sub-carriers to a specific subscriber according to the channel status and the transmission rate requested by a user. In addition, since it can select the sub-carriers with excellent features for each subscriber and allocate them to the subscribers when some subscribers divide and use the whole subcarrier, it can raise the data throughput by distributing the resources efficiently.

Page 19

CHAPTER 2. Overview of Outdoor SPI-2331

Wide Channel Bandwidth Support

The outdoor SPI-2331 supports 10 MHz bandwidth per carrier and has a large packet service.

Support of Wideband Operation Frequency

The outdoor SPI-2331 can change the center frequency in each 72 MHz bandwidth with a simple software change(no change in hardware required).

y 2,496~2,568 MHz y 2,618~2,690 MHz

Support of 1Carrier/Omni

The outdoor SPI-2331 can support 1Carrier/Omni by the basic cabinet.

Support of MIMO

The outdoor SPI-2331 basically supports MIMO of 2Tx/2Rx RF path. There are two methods of MIMO as follows;

y Space Time Coding(STC): method for raising reliability of link y Spatial Multiplexing(SM): method for raising data transmission rate

Convenience Installation and Initialization

The outdoor SPI-2331 automatically receives its IP from the DHCP, and it is initialized using software and configuration information saved in a non-volatile memory of the system or an external server.

Schedule to Provide the System Feature

For the schedule to provide the features described in this system description, see

2.2 Main Functions

The main functions of the outdoor SPI-2331 are as follows:

y Physical layer processing function y Call processing function y IP processing function y Auxiliary device interface function y Convenient operation and maintenance function y Function of supporting the outdoor environment

2.2.1 Physical Layer Processing Function

OFDMA Ranging

The ranging supported by the OFDMA system is roughly divided by the uplink timing synchronization method and the contention based bandwidth request method.

y Uplink Timing Synchronization

In the uplink timing synchronization method, the outdoor SPI-2331 detects the timing error of the uplink signal by using the ranging code transmitted from MS and transmits the timing correction command to each MS to correct the transmission timing of the uplink. The uplink timing synchronization method has initial ranging, periodic ranging, handover ranging, etc.

y Contention Based Bandwidth Request

In the contention based bandwidth request method, the outdoor SPI-2331 receives the bandwidth request ranging code from each MS and allocates uplink resources to the corresponding MS to enable to transmit the bandwidth request header. The contention based bandwidth request method has bandwidth request ranging or something.

Channel Encoding/Decoding

The outdoor SPI-2331 carries out the Forward Error Correction(FEC) encoding for the downlink packet created in the upper layer by using Conventional Turbo Code(CTC). On the contrary, it decodes the uplink packet received from the MS after demodulating.

Modulation/Demodulation

The outdoor SPI-2331 carries out the FEC encoding for the downlink packet created in the upper layer and modulates the encoded packet into the QAM signal. In addition, the outdoor SPI-2331 demodulates and decodes the uplink packet received from MS.

Page 21

CHAPTER 2. Overview of Outdoor SPI-2331

OFDMA Sub-carrier Allocation

The subchannelization is the process to tie the sub-carriers of OFDMA as a transmission unit after grouping them by a certain rule. The outdoor SPI-2331 performs the subchannelization to mitigate the interference between cells. The outdoor SPI-2331 maps the column of the modulated downlink QAM symbol structure with each sub-carrier and carries out the subchannelization when the column of the QAM symbol structure is transmitted to the MS over the wireless line. In such way, the outdoor SPI-2331 transmits the column of the QAM symbol structure to the MS via the sub-carriers pertained to each subchannel.

DL/UL MAP Construction

The outdoor SPI-2331 informs the air resources for the uplink and the downlink to the MS by using DL/UL MAP. The DL/UL MAP consists of the scheduling information of the outdoor SPI-2331 and includes various control information for the MS.

Power Control

The outdoor SPI-2331 carries out the power control function for the uplink signal received from multiple MSs and then set the power intensity of the uplink signal to a specific level. The outdoor SPI-2331 transmits the power correction command to each MS and then makes the MS power intensity be the level required in the outdoor SPI-2331 when the MS transmits the modulated uplink signal in a specific QAM modulation method.

Hybrid-ARQ (H-ARQ) Operation

H-ARQ is the physical layer retransmission method using the stop-and-wait protocol. The outdoor SPI-2331 carries out the H-ARQ function and raises data throughput by re-transmitting or combining the frame from the physical layer to minimize the effect attending to the change of wireless channel environment or the change in the interference signal level.

MIMO

The outdoor SPI-2331 provides the MIMO function as follows according to Mobile WiMAX Wave 2 Profile:

y Downlink

− Matrix A(STC)

Transmission ratio of the Matrix A or STC is 1 and equal to that of Single Input Single Output(SISO). However The Matrix A or the STC reduces the error of the signal received from the MS by raising the stability of the signal received from the MS by means of the Tx diversity. This technology is, also, effective in Signal to Noise Ratio(SNR) and provides excellent performance even when the MS moves in high speed.

− Matrix B(SM, vertical encoding)

Matrix B or SM method raises the effectiveness of the frequency by raising the transmission ratio in proportion to the number of antenna in comparison with SISO. This technology is effective when the reception SNR is high.

2-4

Page 22

Mobile WiMAX Outdoor RAS SPI-2331 System Description/Ed.02

y Uplink

− Collaborative SM

Collaborative SM is the technology that doubles the frequency efficiency in view of the outdoor SPI-2331 as two MSs with each individual antenna send data simultaneously by using the same channel.

2.2.2 Call Processing Function

Cell Initialization Function

The outdoor SPI-2331 announces the MAC Management message such as DCD/UCD/ MOB_NBR-ADV to the cell area in service periodically to enable the MS receiving the message to carry out the appropriate call processing function.

Call Control and Wireless Resource Allocation Function

The outdoor SPI-2331 enables an MS to enter to or exit from the network. When an MS enters to or exit from the network, the outdoor SPI-2331 transmits/receives the signaling message required for call processing via R1 interface with the MS or R6 interface with ACR. The outdoor SPI-2331 allocates various management/transport Connection Identifier(CID) required for the network entry and service to a MS. When the MS exit from the network, the outdoor SPI-2331 collects and release the allocated CID.

Handover

The outdoor SPI-2331 carries out the signaling and bearer processing for inter-sector HO(Handover), inter-ACR HO and inter-carrier HO. At this time, ACR relays the handover message between serving RAS and target RAS through the R6 interface. To minimize the traffic disconnection in inter-RAS HO, the outdoor SPI-2331 performs the data switching function. In handover, the outdoor SPI-2331 enables the serving RAS to switch the user data in queuing to the target RAS and, therefore, the MS to recover the traffic without loss.

Handover Procedure

For the detailed handover procedure, refer to Chapter 4 ‘Message Flow’.

Page 23

CHAPTER 2. Overview of Outdoor SPI-2331

Support of Sleep Mode

Sleep mode is the mode defined to save the MS power under IEEE 802.16e standard and indicates the status that air resources allocated to an MS are released when the MS does not need traffic reception/transmission temporarily. If the MS in Sleep Mode needs the traffic reception/transmission, the MS returns to the normal status immediately. Both Idle Mode and Sleep Mode are modes to save the MS power. The Idle Mode relea se all service flows allocated to an MS, while the Sleep Mode releases only the air resources between the MS and RAS temporarily, continuously keeping the service flow information allocated to the MS. The outdoor SPI-2331 carries out the related call processing function by receiving/sending the signaling message required for the MS's status transition into Sleep Mode and the MS return from the Sleep Mode to Awake Mode.

Call Admission Control (CAC) Function

If the outdoor SPI-2331 receives the call setup request, such as network entry, QCS and handover, from an MS, it monitors the traffic and signaling load for each subcell and the number of user in Active/Sleep Mode and performs the CAC function to prevent the system overload. CAC can be roughly divided into CAC by MS and CAC by service flow.

y CAC by MS

If the number of users who the subcell is in Active/Sleep Mode exceeds the threshold when the outdoor SPI-2331 receives the call setup request from an MS, it rejects the call setup request of the MS.

y CAC by service flow

When service flow is added, the outdoor SPI-2331 checks if the air resources of the requested subcell exceed the threshold and determines the creation of the service

MAC ARQ Function

The outdoor SPI-2331 carries out the ARQ function of the MAC layer. In packet data exchange, ARQ transmits SDU from the transmission side to the ARQ block and retransmits the packet according to the ARQ feedback information received from the reception side to raise the reliability of data communication. The outdoor SPI-2331 carries out the following function for the service flows applying ARQ:

y Creation and transmission concerned with ARQ operation y Feedback processing depending on ARQ types y Block processing(fragmentation/reassemble/retransmission) depending on ARQ types y ARQ timer/window management

QoS Support Function

2-6

The packet traffic exchanged between ACR and Outdoor SPI-2331 is delivered to the modem in the outdoor SPI-2331. At this time, the outdoor SPI-2331 allocates the queue in the modem to each service flow that QoS type is specified to observe the QoS constraint given for each QoS class or service flow and performs the strict-priority scheduling according to the priority.

Page 24

Mobile WiMAX Outdoor RAS SPI-2331 System Description/Ed.02

The modem that receives the packet traffic performs the scheduling by using the uplink/ downlink algorithm, such as Proportional Fair(PF) or Round Robin(RR) and transmits the scheduled allocation information to an MS through DL/UL MAP. The MS receiving the DL/UL MAP checks the air resources allocated to the MS and modulates/demodulates the downlink packet or transmits the uplink packet from the allocated uplink area. Since the outdoor SPI-2331 provides the QoS monitoring function, it can compile statistics on packets unsatisfying the latency requested from the QoS parameter according to TDD frames and report the statistics to an operator via the OAM interface.

2.2.3 IP Processing Functions

IP QoS Function

Since the outdoor SPI-2331 supports Differentiated Services(DiffServ), it can provide the backhaul QoS in the communication with ACR. It supports 8-class DiffServ and supports the mapping between the DiffServ service class and the service class of the user traffic received from an MS. In addition, the outdoor SPI2331 supports between Differentiated Services Code Point(DSCP) and 802.3 Ethernet MAC service class.

Simultaneous Support of IPv4/IPv6

ACR communicates with the outdoor SPI-2331 through the GRE tunnel and the backhaul IP version between the outdoor SPI-2331 and ACR is managed independently from the service IP version for the MS. Even if, therefore, IPv4 is used in backhaul between the outdoor SPI-2331 and ACR, all of IPv4, IPv6 and IPv4/IPv6 dual stack services can be supported.

CHAPTER 2. Overview of Outdoor SPI-2331

IP Routing Function

Since the outdoor SPI-2331 provides several Ethernet interfaces, it stores the routing table with the information on the Ethernet interface to route IP packets. The routing table of the outdoor SPI-2331 is configured depending on operator’s setting and the configuration and the setting of the routing table are similar to the standard setting of the router. The outdoor SPI-2331 supports the static routing configuration only and not the router function for the traffic received from the outside. When the outdoor SPI-2331 connects an auxiliary device, it supports the IP packet routing function for the auxiliary device by using Network Address Translation(NA T).

Ethernet/VLAN Interface Function

The outdoor SPI-2331 provides the Ethernet interface and supports the static link grouping function, Virtual Local Area Network(VLAN) function and Ethernet CoS function under IEEE 802.3ad for the Ethernet interface. At this time, the MAC bridge function defined in IEEE 802.1D is excluded.

The outdoor SPI-2331 enables several VLAN IDs to be set in one Ethernet interface and maps the DSCP value of IP header with the CoS value of Ethernet header in Tx packet to support Ethernet CoS.

2.2.4 Auxiliary Device Interface Function

The outdoor SPI-2331 can support better performance service and convenience by supporting various auxiliary devices. The outdoor SPI-2331 provides the Ethernet interface to connect auxiliary devices and allocates IP addresses by operating as a DHCP server for the auxiliary devices. In addition, the outdoor SPI-2331 provides the traffic path to transmit/receive the maintenance traffic between an auxiliary device and the remote auxiliary device monitoring server. If the auxiliary device uses a private IP address, the outdoor SPI-2331 carries out the NAT function to change the address into a public IP address(i.e., the IP address of the outdoor SPI-2331) for the communication with an external monitoring server.

2.2.5 Maintenance Function

The outdoor SPI-2331 interworking with the management system carries out the following maintenance functions: system initialization and restart, management for system configuration, management for the operation parameters, failure and status management for system resources and services, statistics management for system resources and various performance data, diagnosis management for system resources and services and security management for system access and operation.

Graphic and Text-based Console Interface

WSM manages the entire Mobile WiMAX system by using Database Management System(DBMS) and Outdoor SPI-2331 interworks with this WSM. In addition, the outdoor SPI-2331 directly access NE as well as WSM and interworks with console terminal to perform the operation and maintenance function.

For operator’s convenience and working purpose, the operator can select graphic-based console interface(Web-based Element Maintenance Terminal, Web-EMT) or text-based console interface(Integrated Management Interface Shell, IMISH). The operator can access the console interface with no separate software and log in to WebEMT through Internet Explore and IMISH through Secure Shell(SSH) on the command window. The operator can carry out the retrieval and setup of the configuration and the operation information and monitoring about faults, status and statistics via consol terminal. However, the operator can carry out grow/degrow of resources and setting of the neighbor list and paging group which have correlation between several NEs only via the WSM.

Operator Authentication Function

The outdoor SPI-2331 provides the authentication and the permission management functions for the operator who manages the Mobile WiMAX system. The operator accesses the outdoor SPI-2331 by using the operator’s ID and password via Web-EMT or IMISH and the outdoor SPI-2331 assigns the operation right in accordance with the operator’s level. The outdoor SPI-2331 carries out the logging function for successful access, access failure and login history.

Maintenance Function with Enhanced Security Function

For the security, the outdoor SPI-2331 supports Simple Network Management Protocol version 3(SNMPv3) and secure File Transfer Protocol(SFTP) in the communication with WSM and Hyper Text Transfer Protocol over SSL(HTTPs) and Secure Shell(SSH) in the communication with console terminals. For the operation and maintenance of the outdoor SPI-2331, the outdoor SPI-2331 provides the self or remote loading function in system initialization and restart, the retrieval and setting function for the configuration and operation parameters, the fault and status management function, the statistics collection function for various performance data, the diagnosis function for resources and services, the call trace function and the security management function for system access and operation.

On-line Software Upgrade

When a software package is upgraded, the outdoor SPI-2331 can upgrade the package while running old version of software package. The pac kage upgrade is progressed in the following procedure: ‘Add New Package Æ Change to New package Æ Delete Old Package ’.

Page 27

CHAPTER 2. Overview of Outdoor SPI-2331

In package upgrade, the service is stopped temporarily because the old process is terminated and the new process is started in the ‘Change to New package’ stage. However, since OS is not restarted, the service will be provided again within a few minutes.

After upgrading software, the outdoor SPI-2331 update s t he package stored in a volatile storage. In addition, the outdoor SPI-2331 can re-perform the ‘Change to New package’ stage to roll back into the previous package before upgrade.

Call Trace Function

The outdoor SPI-2331 supports the call trace function for a specific MS. The outdoor SPI2331 can carry out the call trace function up to 10 MSs. If a call occurs in the MS that an operator previously specified via ACR, the signaling message and statistical traffic data are transmitted to WSM. Besides, the outdoor SPI-2331, also, sends the RF environment information, such as Carrier-to-Interference-and-Noise-Ratio(CINR) for MS, Modulation and Coding Schemes(MCS) level and Burst Error Rate(BER).

Detailed Information for Each Session and Service Flow (PSMR/PSFMR)

The Mobile WiMAX system of Samsung collects and stores detailed information of all sessions(Per Session Measurement Record, PSMR) and detailed information of all service flows(Per Service Flow Measurement Record, PSFMR) to provide it to an external log server. When a session or service flow is created, the Mobile WiMAX system starts to collect relevant information, and when the session or service flow terminates, the system creates and stores a message in a file so that the external log server can collect the message.

The information collected by the ACR includes session termination time, initial and final handover information(handover types, cell information), and the MAC address and IP address allocated to the MS. The outdoor SPI-2331 collects such information as MS MAC addresses, continued session time, continued service flow time, turnaround time for network entry, CID, SFID, initial and final wireless quality information(RSSI, CINR, Tx power), and throughput information.

The ACR deliver the information collected by ACR to the outdoor SPI-2331, and the outdoor SPI-2331 creates and stores a file for each period.

2.2.6 Function of Supporting the Outdoor Environment

The outdoor SPI-2331 senses and controls the temperature inside the system, collects and reports the environmental alarms to operate normally in the outdoor environment. The outdoor SPI-2331 has a natural air convection system without a fan to optimize air flow. Therefore, its low power consumption is suitable for use outdoors.

CHAPTER 3. Outdoor SPI-2331 Architecture

3.2.1 ULDB

The ULDB is the uppermost board in the outdoor SPI-2331. The main processor of the outdoor SPI-2331 is installed on this board and it provides system operation and a maintenance function. In addition, the ULDB is an integrated digital board providing a modem, GPS signal receiving and clock distribution, and network interface functions.

Main Processor Function

The ULDB is the board that carries out the role as the highest layer in the outdoor SPI2331 and is equipped with the main processor. The main processor of the ULDB performs the functions, such as communication path setting between MS and ACR, Ethernet switch function in the outdoor SPI-2331 and system operation and maintenance.

The ULDB manages the status of all hardware and software in the outdoor SPI-2331 and reports each status information to WSM via ACR. In addition, the ULDB allocates and manages the resources of the outdoor SPI-2331 and the connection of the ULDB and a PC for the Web-EMT enables to maintain the outdoor SPI-2331 with no interworking with ACR.

Modem Function

The ULDB is equipped with the modem supporting IEEE 802.16e standard physical layer and the modem performs the OFDMA channel processing function.

The ULDB modulates the packet data received, and transmits the modulated data to the ULRB as digital baseband I/Q(LVTTL) signal. In t h e c o n t r a ry, t h e U L D B d e modulated the data received from the ULRB, converts the data into the format defined in the IEEE 802.16e Mobile WiMAX physical layer standard and then transmits the converted data to the ACR via Ethernet interface.

Network Interface Function

The ULDB interfaces with an ACR in Fast Ethernet method and the ULDB can provide maximum two Fast Ethernet ports. Then the service provider can choose the copper or optic for the network interface.

GPS Reception and Clock Distribution Function

The Universal Core Clock Module(UCCM), which is installed as ULDB mezzanine, generates a system clock [Pulse Per 2 Second(PP2S), Reference Clock(44.8 MHz), Analog 11.2 MHz] by using the GPS signal from the GPS and distributes the clock to each board and module. Therefore, each device of the outdoor SPI-2331 runs under the synchronized clock system. The UCCM provides a holdover function(24-hour) which maintains its normal clock for a specific time period based on its prior learning capability when there is no GPS signal because of any accidents.

Page 39

CHAPTER 3. Outdoor SPI-2331 Architecture

Downlink (Tx) Signal Processing

As for the downlink signal, the ULRB performs bandpass filtering of baseband I/Q signal received from the ULDB and converts the signal into the analog signal through Digital to Analog Conversion(DAC). The converted analog signal goes through frequency up-conversion to RF band signal, and the signal is transferred to power amplifier. The power amplifier amplifies the received RF band signal and sends it to a filter. The filter filters out unnecessary frequency components from the received RF signal and sends out the RF signal through the antenna. The power of the RF transmission signal per Tx path at the RF output port is 100 mW.

Uplink (Rx) Signal Processing

Out-of-band spurious wave of RF signal received from the antenna is suppressed through front end analog filter. This signal is low noise amplified in Low Noise Amplifier(LNA), and it is frequency down converted to the analog signal. The converted analog signal is converted to the digital baseband signal through Analog to Digital Conversion(ADC), and it is transferred to ULDB.

TDD Operation

The ULRB has a TDD switch and it switches the sending/receiving path by receiving a TDD signal from the ULDB to help the outdoor SPI-2331 run as a TDD system. The TDD switch connects with the transmission path in the DL section and provides a transmission path for downlink signals amplified in the power amplifier. The TDD switch connects with the reception path in the UL section and provides a reception path for uplink signals from the MS.

Middleware (MW)

MW helps the smooth operation between OS and application under various types of hardware environment, and to achieve this, MW provides various services: message delivery service between applications, event notification service and debugging utility services. In addition, the MW provides the systematic and strong management function of the account, the authority and the authentication.

Page 45

CHAPTER 3. Outdoor SPI-2331 Architecture

Device Driver (DD)

DD manages the normal operation of applications that OS does not control in the system. DD provides the API for the user processor to setup/control/detect the hardware device. Also, DD confirms the device configuration by receiving the configuration data from the upper user processor, and also provides the functions of register manipulation for device operation, device diagnosis, statistics and status management.

IP Routing Software (IPRS)

IPRS executes the IP routing protocol function. IPRS collects and manages the system configuration and status data necessary for IP routing operation, and based on the data, it generates the routing table via the routing protocol, and makes packet forwarding possible.

Call Control (CC)

CC is a software subsystem that processes the calls in the outdoor SPI-2331, and CC interfaces with MS and ACR. CC supports data exchange function to support wireless data service such as the MAC scheduling, air link control, ARQ processing and IEEE 802.16e message processing.

RTC

1) RAS traffic interface

2) Modem traffic interface

RRC as the resource manager of the outdoor SPI-2331 exchanges the status information with all blocks and assigns appropriate software resources to a service when it receives the necessary service request from RAS/ACR.

RSC processes the MAC signaling via R1 interface and interworks with ACR via R6 interface. RSC performs the Call Admission Control(CAC) in the service creation process and requests the traffic channel setup to RTC. In addition, RSC transfers the information on the internal control message to the modem block in the outdoor SPI-2331.

RTC fragments the user data received from ACR via the R6 interface in MAC PDU format and transfers the data to the modem block or re-assembles the MAC PDU received from an MS via the R1 interface and transmits to ACR. In addition, the RTC interworks with the RSC block controlling the RAS signal and performs the call setup/release procedure.

3.3.2.1 RAS Resource Controller (RRC)

Master Session Key(MSK) which is the prior key to provide the security and the Provisioned Policy on each subscriber via the DEA message from the AAA server. The ACR creates the AK from the MSK, and transmits the Key_Change_Directive message including the created AK Context information and the Security Association(SA) information of the MS to the RAS. In addition, the RAS relays EAP Success to the MS by using PKMv2-EAP-Transfer.

(17)~(19) After the EAP authentication, the RAS verifies the AK key value which it has with

MS, and transmits the SA-TEK-Challenge message to the MS to notify the start of the SA negotiation, and the MS verifies the CMAC of the SA-TEK-Challenge message, checks the AK key value, and transmits the SA negotiation information to the RAS by using SA-TEK-Request. The RAS transmits SA-TEK-Response including the AKID and the SA Descriptor which is the final result of the SA negotiation to the MS.

(20)~(21) The MS requests the Traffic Encryption Key(TEK) to the RAS by using PKMv2

Key-Request, and the RAS creates the TEK randomly and transmits it to the MS by using the PKMv2 Key-Reply message. Then, the TEK is transmitted by being encrypted via the Key Encryption Key(KEK).

Keys and Functions

The functions of the keys are as follows.

- MSK: creates the AK

- AK: creates the CMAC key

- KEK: encrypts the TEK

- CMAC key: provides integrity for the MAC management message

- TEK: encrypts traffics in wireless sections

CHAPTER 4. Message Flow

At the Time of Authenticator Relocation

When the MS performs the CSN-anchored Handover(HO), or the Idle Mode MS moves to another ACR area and performs the location update, the following re-authentication procedure is performed to move the authenticator from the existing Serving ACR to the Target ACR. The Target ACR triggers in order that the MS performs the EAP authentication procedure with the AAA server again, and then, when the result of the authentication result is notified to the Serving ACR, the Authenticator Relocation procedure is completed.

(3)~(4) If the terminating traffic exists in the Sleep Mode MS, the RAS transmits the

MOB_TRF-IND message in the listening period of the corresponding MS, and the MS which receives this, sets the BW value as 0 in the UL BW Request and transmits it to the RAS. The RAS receives this message and recognizes that the status of MS has been changed into the Awake Mode, and transmits the traffic to the MS.

Idle Mode Æ Awake Mode(QCS)

When an MS in Idle Mode responds for the paging because of incoming traffic or sends the traffic, the status of MS is changed from the Idle Mode into Awake Mode. In both cases, the MS should perform the network re-entry procedure to change the status into the Awake Mode and the Mobile WiMAX system of Samsung basically takes account of the QCS procedure as the network re-entry method. The following is the case where the mode is changed from the Idle Mode to the Awake Mode at the time of the Network re-entry(QCS).

Classification Description

(1)~(2) If the p aging group is changed, the MS tran smi t s the RN G-RE Q message including

the MAC address, the Location Update Request and the Paging Controller ID to a new T-RAS(Target RAS). The T-RAS transmits the Location Update Request message including the Paging Controller ID to its own default ACR.

(3)~(5) W hen the received Paging Controller ID does not belong to the Target ACR

(T-ACR), the T-ACR transmits the Location Update Request message of which the APC Relocation Destination is set as its own Paging Controller ID to the previous Serving ACR(S-ACR) via the R4 interface to change the Paging Con troller. The S-ACR responds by using the Loca tion Upda te Respon se message in cluding the information on whether to allow the Paging Controller Relocation and the Context information of the corresponding MS.

(6) When the T-RAS receives the Location Update Response message, it sets as

‘LU Response=Success’, transmits the RNG-RSP message to the MS, and checks if the paging controller is changed into the T-ACR by transmitting the LU Confirm message.

(7)~(10) The T-RAS notifies the new CMAC_KEY_COUNT value updated by the MS to

the S-ACR, which is an authenticator.

(11) The LU Confirm message is sent to confirm that the T-ACR is now the paging

controller.

(12)~(14) The T-ACR, after Location Update Confirm, notifies the FA and the Authenticator

which are still located in the S-ACR of that the Paging Controller has been

changed. (15) The T-ACR requests the FA Relocation for the MS to the S-ACR. (16)~(18) The S-ACR which receives the request of the FA/DPF Relocation from the T-

ACR allows the relocation in the T-ACR, then, the T-ACR/RAS requests paging

to the corresponding MS to trigger the relocation. (19)~(34) The MS which receives the MOB_PAG-ADV message performs the QCS which

is the Network Re-Entry procedure with the network. (35)~(37) This is the procedure to relocate the Authenticator from the S-ACR to the T-ACR,

the T-ACR triggers in order that the MS performs the EAP authentication

procedure with the AAA server, and notifies the S-ACR of the authentication

result, then completes the Authenticator Relocation procedure. (38) ~ (39) (40)~(41) If the MS uses the PMIP, the T-ACR instead of the MS registers the MIP to the HA.

The T-ACR requests the Anchor DPF Relocation for the MS to the S-ACR.

(42)~(46) If the MS uses the CMIP, the ACR operates only as the FA, and the MS registers

the MIP in the HA directly. (47)~(48) When the anchor DPF relocation is completed successfully, S-ACR releases the

existing connection with AAA and HA.

Inter-ASN Location Update

The Inter-ASN location update procedure is the same with the Inter-ACR location update procedure.

4.1.5 Paging

Paging can be classified into the following two types.

y The RAS broadcasts the MOB_PAG-AD V message periodically and notifies the MS

of the corresponding paging group. The MS is changed into the Idle Mode and checks if the paging group of the MS is changed by checking the MOB_PAG-ADV message periodically based on the paging information(Paging Cycle, Paging Offset, PGID) received from the system.

y If the traffic to be transmitted to the Idle Mode MS exists in the ACR, the ACR

triggers the MOB_PAG-ADV message to the RAS to change the corresponding MS into the Awake Mode.

Inter-ASN Handover: CSN-Anchored Mobility

The following is handover of the CSN-anchored mobility method among the types of interASN handover, the anchor function is relocated from the Serving ACR(S-ACR) to the T arget ACR(T-ACR). CSN-anchored mobility is composed of the process that Authenticator/DPF Anchor is relocated to the target ACR after ASN-anchored mobility handover is performed. For convenience, the case that T-ACR triggers the relocation is defined in pull mode and the other case that S-ACR triggers is in push mode. Samsung's Mobile WiMAX system supports both pull mode and push mode. The CSN-anchored mobility method follows the MIP standard, and the NWG defines the PMIP and the CMIP for the MIP method. The first part of the CSN-anchored handover signaling process is the same as the procedure of ASN-anchored mobility handover and the procedure after the ASN-anchored handover is as follows:

4.3 Alarm Signal Flow

The detection of failures in the outdoor SPI-2331 can be implemented by hardware interrupt or software polling method. The failures generated in the outdoor SPI-2331 are reported to the management system via the SNMP trap message.

Failure Alarm Types

y Environmental Failure Alarms

HEATER FAIL, TEMPERATURE HIGH, LOW, PORT DOWN, ACR COMMUNICATION FAIL, etc.

y UDA

2Tx, 6Rx UDAs are supported.

Failure Report Message Flow

The main OAM(UFM) collects the failures detected from ULDB, ULRB and UDA interface of the outdoor SPI-2331 and notifies them to the management system. At this time, it only reports the upper failure information by using the failure filtering function. If it receives the command to inhibit the report for a specific failure or all system failures from the management system, it does not report the failure report. The flows for the failure detection and the report message are as shown in the figures below:

4.4 Loading Message Flow

Loading is the procedure to download the software execution files and the data from the IS, which are required to perform each function of each processor and each device of the outdoor SPI-2331. Loading the outdoor SPI-2331 is performed in the procedure of initializing the system. In addition, if a specific board is mounted on the system or the hardware is reset, or if the operator of the upper management system reboots a specific board, loading is performed.

Loading is classified into two types, one is loading by using its own nonvolatile storage and the other is loading by using the remote IS. When the system is initialized for the first time, the outdoor SPI-2331 receives the loading by using the remote IS, and after this, saves the corresponding information in the internal storage, and backs up the recent information periodically, and then it is available to avoid unnecessary loading. After the first initialization, if the information saved in its own storage is the recent information by comparing the version, the outdoor SPI-2331 does not receive the remote loading.

If it is required to perform roll-back to the previous version, or if the communication with the remote server is not available, the function of the forced loading, which enables to receive the loading from the remote server or from its own storage without comparing the version, is provided when required.

The loaded information includes the software image which is configured with the execution file and the script file, the configuration information, the PLD related to the operation parameter and various configuration files. Among them, all the information required for the static routing function of the outdoor SPI-2331 is saved in its own storage as the startup configure file format, and provides the information required at the time of the initialization.

Loading Procedure

To perform the loading procedure when initializing the outdoor SPI-2331, the loader performs the followings first.(Pre-loading)

y Boot-up: The booter of the Flash ROM loads the kernel and the Root File

System(RFS) from the flash ROM to the RAM Disk, and performs the kernel.

y IP configuration: The IP address information is acquired from the flash ROM and is set

to communicate with the first upper management system. For automatic initialization, the outdoor SPI-2331 automatically receives L3 information such as the IP address, subnet mask, and gateway IP address from DHCP. At this time, it also receives the IP address of the additional information server, and asks for its ID and the IP address of the RS to which its ID is registered.

y Registration: The NE is registered to the RS, and the IP address of the IS is acquired

during the registration.

y Version Comparison: Except for the case where forced loading is set, the version of

the software image and the version of the PLD saved in the remote IS and in the internal storage are compared, and the location where to perform loading is determined from that.

y File List Download: The list of the files to be loaded is downloaded.

CHAPTER 4. Message Flow

Loading Message Flow

After performing the pre-loading procedure, if the method of loading is determined, the Main OAM(ULM) of the ULDB which performs the operation and the maintenance of the entire outdoor SPI-2331 performs loading by using the SFTP protocol to the corresponding IS(remote IS or its own storage). The information on the software loaded in the outdoor SPI-2331 can be checked in the upper management system.

The loading message flow is as the following figure:

4.5 Operation and Maintenance Message Flow

An operator can check and change the status of the outdoor SPI-2331 by means of the management system. To this end, the outdoor SPI-2331 provides the SNMP agent function. The function enables the WSM operator to perform the operation and maintenance function of the outdoor SPI-2331 at remote site by using the SNMP. In addition, the operator can perform Web-EMT based maintenance function by using a Web browser in a console terminal or IMISH based maintenance function by using the SSH connection. However, grow/degrow, paging information change and neighbor list change functions are only available on WSM.

The statistical information provided by the outdoor SPI-2331 are provided to the operator according to collection period and the real-time monitoring function for a specific statistical item specified by the operator is, also, provided.

Operation and Maintenance Message Flow

The operation and maintenance of the outdoor SPI-2331 is carried out via the SNMP get/get_next/get_bulk/set/trap message between the SNMP agent on the main OAM and the SNMP manager of the WSM. The outdoor SPI-2331 deals with various operation and maintenance messages received from the SNMP manager of the management system, transfers the results and reports the events, such as failure generation or status change, in real time as applicable. The statistical information is provided as statistical file format in unit of BI and the collection period can be specified as one of 15, 30 and 60 minutes.
