Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration ASN-GW MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 119 System Manual4.6 ASN-GW MenuThe ASN-GW menu includes the following options:AAAServices MenuMAC Access Lists4.6.1 AAA4.6.1.1 Working with RADIUS ServersManaging a large number of users creates the need for significant administrative support together with careful attention to security, authorization and accounting. The use of RADIUS (Remote Authentication Dial In User Service) enables operators to efficiently manage users, supporting AAA functionality:Authentication (in the form of username & password and security certificates provided by the user, all checked by the server with an EAP method against a local flat file database or an external SQL database).Authorization of requested network services (configuration information detailing the type of service to use).Accounting of the granted services usage (for billing, statistical or network monitoring purposes).The RADIUS protocol exchanges information between a Network Access Server (NAS), which needs to authenticate its users, and a shared Authentication server. A Network Access Server acts as an interface between the users and the RADIUS server, relaying authentication messages between the two and provisioning the users with pre-defined services according to the authorization level determined by the RADIUS server.The BreezeMAX Extreme has a built-in NAS, referred to as 'ASN'. Based on the RADIUS and NAS configuration, the BTS has 3 working modes: Embedded Distributed ASN-GW Centralized Authentication - internal NAS is used for service provisioning and AAA needs to be handled by a RADIUS server.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration ASN-GW MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 120 System ManualEmbedded Distributed ASN GW Local Authentication - internal NAS is used for service provisioning and no AAA is required.External ASN GW - a 3rd party NAS must handle the service provisioning and also decide if AAA is required.In order for the RADIUS server to accept requests from its ASN client, a shared secret is required to be configured on both parties.For each new network entry, the ASN initiates the creation of an encrypted EAP-TTLS (EAP-Tunneled Transport Layer Security) tunnel between the user and the RADIUS server, then continues relaying messages between the two parties until the tunnel is complete. The purpose of this tunnel is for the user to send its credentials (username & password) to the RADIUS server, transparent for the ASN, using a second authentication protocol, MSCHAPv2 (Microsoft Challenge-Handshake Authentication Protocol version 2).The RADIUS server then checks the user's credentials against its database and decides whether or not the user should be accepted and provisioned with services by the ASN.Keep-alive and retry mechanisms are implemented on the ASN to overcome connectivity problems and loss of packets.When working in internal ASN authentication mode, the settings and flow of the authentication and service provisioning process are:1The user (i.e. MS) needs to have an authentication type (i.e EAP-TTLS) and a username/password configured in the Registration menu.2The ASN requires the setting of the AAA client (server IP, shared secret and keep-alive settings) and the service definition: Multiple Service Flows and Service Profiles with all their sub-components.3The configuration of the RADIUS server is the most complex and requires the following:»Clients database, containing the IPs and shared secrets of all the ASNs that connect to it;»Users database, containing the users' credentials (username & password), the corresponding services to be provisioned (the names of the Service
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration ASN-GW MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 121 System ManualProfiles and Multiple Service Flows as defined in the ASN), and other optional attributes that need to be sent to the users (e.g session-timeout).»General settings configuring the use of EAP-TTLS tunneling and MSCHAPv2 encryption.4During initial network entry, the MS first executes initial ranging with the BS, then exchanges capabilities with the ASN, after which it is asked for identity by the latter. The EAP process starts at this point. Access-Request & Access-Challenge messages are exchanged and relayed between the RADIUS server, ASN and MS, until the tunnel is complete and the user credentials are securely sent over to the authenticator.5Depending on the match of the MS's credentials with the RADIUS server's database, the latter may send back an Access-Accept or an Access-Reject message to the ASN (to be relayed to the MS).6In case of successful authentication, the Access-Accept packet contains the service parameters that the ASN must provision the MS with.7The ASN checks for the received service parameters and, if defined, starts the DataPath Registration (MS provisioning).A RADIUS server can be used for authentication purposes only, for accounting purposes only, or for both authentication and accounting purposes. In the current release one server of each type can be defined.The AAA menu includes the following options:Show SummaryConfiguration4.6.1.2 Show SummarySelect the Show Summary option to view the configuration and status details for the general AAA Client parameters and for each of the defined Authentication and/or Accounting Servers.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration ASN-GW MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 122 System ManualAuthentication ServerAccounting4.6.1.3.1 AAA ClientThe AAA Client menu enables viewing and updating general parameters that affect the communication with all RADIUS servers. These parameters include:Retry Interval (sec)Maximum Number of RetriesKeep Alive Timeout (sec)4.6.1.3.1.1 Retry Interval (sec)The Retry Interval parameter defines the time in seconds to wait before retransmitting a RADIUS message if no response is received. The range is 1-30 (seconds).The default value is 5 (seconds).4.6.1.3.1.2 Maximum Number of RetriesThe Maximum Number of Retries parameter defines the maximum number of retransmission attempts, before a decision is taken to revert to another server if configured (not applicable for current release where only one server of each type can be defined), or give up.The range is 1-10 (retries).The default value is 3 (retries).4.6.1.3.1.3 Keep Alive Timeout (sec)The NPU maintains a keep alive mechanism with all defined servers. The Keep Alive Timeout defines the time in seconds between keep alive messages.The range is 60-86400 (seconds).The default value is 60 (seconds).NOTEThe BTS sends keep-alive messages to the RADIUS server in the form of Access-Requests with its own unconfigurable username: "KeepAliveUserNameAndPassword".Even if this username is not defined in the RADIUS users database, the server will still reply with an Access-Reject message, thus notifying the ASN that the AAA status is 'up'.

The options available in the current release are:ManagementDataPPPoEVoIPReliable Video (decreases dropped packets rate)Optimized Video (wireless link optimization with content awareness)4.6.2.4.4 HARQ RepetitionsHARQ (Hybrid-ARQ) is an ARQ (Automatic Repeat reQuest) mechanism that is implemented at the physical layer together with FEC, providing improved link performance over traditional ARQ at the cost of increased implementation complexity. HARQ uses a combination of FEC and ARQ, where blocks of data, along with a CRC code, are encoded using a FEC coder before transmission; retransmission is requested if the decoder is unable to correctly decode the received block. When a retransmitted coded block is received, it is combined with the previously detected coded block and fed to the input of the FEC decoder. Combining the two or more received versions of the code block improves the chances of correctly decoding. The WiMAX standard supports this by combining an N-channel stop and wait ARQ along with a variety of supported FEC codes. Doing multiple parallel channels of HARQ at a time can improve the throughput, since when one HARQ process is waiting for an acknowledgment, another process can use the channel to send some more data. WiMAX supports signaling mechanisms to allow asynchronous operation of HARQ and supports a dedicated acknowledgment
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration ASN-GW MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 134 System Manualchannel in the uplink for ACK/NACK signaling. Asynchronous operations allow variable delay between retransmissions, which provides greater flexibility for the scheduler.In the current release HARQ is not configurable: It is enabled by default with 4 repetitions for Management, Data, PPPoE, Reliable Video, and Optimized Video Service Profiles, and with 1 repetition for VoIP Service Profiles.4.6.2.5 QoS ProfilesThe QoS Profile submenu option for a selected Service Profile enables managing the QoS Profiles assigned to the Service Profile. At least one QoS Profile must be assigned to each Service Profile, up to a maximum of four QoS Profiles per Service Profile.Each QoS Profile includes the following components:QoS Profile IDUplink QoS TypeUplink CPUplink QoS Parameter(s) - according to Uplink QoS TypeDownlink QoS TypeDownlink CPDownlink QoS Parameter(s)- according to Downlink QoS Type4.6.2.5.1 QoS Profile IDThis is an auto-sequential number from 1 to a maximum of 4, generated automatically during creation of a new QoS Profile for the specific Service Profile.4.6.2.5.2 Uplink/Downlink QoS TypeThe type of QoS mechanism in the uplink/downlink when the QoS Profile is used. In the current release the available options are BE (Best Effort), NRT (Non Real Time), and ERT (Extended Real Time).BE (Best Effort) service is designed to support data streams, such as Web browsing, that do not require a minimum service-level guarantee.NRT (Non Real Time) is designed to support delay-tolerant data streams, such as FTP, that require variable-size data grants at a minimum guaranteed rate.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration ASN-GW MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 135 System ManualERT (Extended Real Time) is designed to support real-time applications, such as VoIP with silence suppression, that have variable data rates but require guaranteed data rate and delay.4.6.2.5.3 Uplink/Downlink CPThe Committed Priority in the uplink/downlink.For BE QoS CP is not configurable and is set to 0.For NRT QoS the supported range is from 1 to 2.For ERT QoS the supported range is from 3 to 7.The CP parameter affects the Committed Time (CT) as follows:Maximum Latency is equal to CT.Unsolicited Grant Interval (UGI) for ERT QoS is CT/2. Note that UGI functionality of periodic allocations is applicable only for the uplink traffic.Unsolicited Polling Interval (UPI) for NRT QoS is CT/2. Note that UPI functionality of periodic polling is applicable only for uplink traffic.4.6.2.5.4 Uplink/Downlink QoS Parameters (CIR/MIR)The availability of specific QoS parameters depend on the selected QoS Type as follows:Table 4-5: Committed TimeCP (Committed Priority) CT (Committed Time)0 1000ms1 2000ms260ms3 120ms480ms560ms640ms720msTable 4-6: QoS ParametersQoS Type QoS ParametersBE MIR
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration ASN-GW MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 136 System ManualCIR is the minimum information transfer rate that the system is committed to transfer under normal conditions (minimum reserved traffic rate). MIR is the maximum information rate that the system will allow for the connection (maximum sustained traffic rate). The CIR/MIR rate is averaged over a minimum increment of time, which is defined by the CT parameter.The range of CIR/MIR for all Downlink flows and for Uplink BE and NRT flows is from 32 (the default) to 54,000 Kbps.For Uplink ERT flows where we have the advantage of periodic allocations, the UGI (equal to CT/2) and the range for MIR are as follows:The uplink CIR of eRT will be set internally to the value configured for MIR In the Downlink of ERT flows UGI has no meaning and the configuration range for CIR and MIR is 32-54000 Kbps. However, ERT QoS offers the advantages of higher priority and lower latency values than BE or NRT QoS.MIR cannot be lower than CIR for the same direction.4.6.2.6 Multiple Service FlowsThe Multiple Service Flows menu enables managing Multiple Service Flows, including the Service Rule(s) associated with each Multiple Service Flow. The menu for a selected Multiple Service Flow (after the basic parameters are defined) enables access to the Service Rules submenu.

DHCP Type is changed and the old type is other than None (if it is none, the BS just forwards DHCP traffic without taking any action).2. DHCP Type hasn’t changed, but it is configured as Server and at least one of the following networking values has changed:Pool IP addressPool Subnet MaskDHCP IP AddressA DNS IP AddressLease TimeCPE Management ServerDefault Gateway
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration ASN-GW MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 142 System ManualNone: DHCP is not used. This mode is applicable for Ethernet CS service interfaces. The ASN-GW learns the IP parameters by “listening” to DHCP processes.Transparent: Typically used with IP CS service interfaces. The MS communicates directly with a DHCP server without involving the ASN-GW.Forward With Option 82: This is practically the same as Transparent mode (see above), with the exception that the ASN-GW inserts Option 82 (Relay Agent Information) to DHCP messages forwarded to the backbone and removes them from received messages before forwarding them to the MS. Any DHCP discovery/request message coming from the user that includes option 82 will be dropped.Relay With Option 82: The ASN-GW serves as a relay for DHCP messages between the MS and a known DHCP server. The implementation complies with RFC-2131 and RFC-3046. Any DHCP discovery/request message coming from the user that includes option 82 will be dropped.Server: The ASN-GW acts as a DHCP server.4.6.2.9.4 Nomadic ModeThe Nomadic Mode parameter ia applicable for all DHCP operation modes. It defines whether nomadic operation of the MS should be supported by the provisioning and accounting mechanism. When disabled, the provisioned services should be supported only when the MS is served by a specific BTS. When enabled, provisioned services should not be restricted to a specific BTS.The default is Disable.4.6.2.9.5 Attribute 31The Attribute 31 parameter is applicable for all DHCP operation modes, defining information that should be used by the embedded RADIUS client. Attribute 31 specifies the Calling Station ID information to be included in RADIUS Access-Request and Accounting-Request messages. This feature enables service providers to provide more information about the call originator to the RADIUS server(s). The information provided by this feature can also be used for additional security checks.In RADIUS Access-Request messages Attribute 31 is set by default to CPE MAC Address. The configurable Attribute 31 parameter is applicable only for RADIUS accounting messages.

Only packets with unknown destination will be sent to the backbone. If disabled, these packets are sent only to the backbone and are not sent back to the wireless link.NOTEAny VLAN ID (including None for untagged) can be defined only in a single Service Interface: This includes the values configured for the VLAN ID parameter and values in VLAN Lists. The Management Interface VLAN ID (see Section 4.5.4.3.4) cannot be configured.

Each entry comprises a Prefix (base) address in the format xx-xx-xx-xx-xx-xx, a Prefix Mask in the same format (in binary format a mask must be comprised of a series of 1’s followed by a series of 0’s), an Allow/Deny rule, and Priority (a unique number in the range from 1 to 255 defining the order of searching for a match).4.6.3.3 Default AccessSelect this option to configure the Default Access rule, defining how to handle packets with a source address that is not included in any of the lists.The options are All and Deny. The default is Allow.4.6.3.4 Maximum MAC addresses learnedSelect this option to manage the bridge database in the device. When the Maximum MAC addresses learned parameter is set to 0 (the default), the ASN-GW learns the source MAC address of all packets arriving on the R1 interface. The aging timeout for entries in the bridge table is 10 minutes. If the table is full (1024 different entries), a newly learned MAC address will replace the oldest entry in the database. A packet arriving from the network side with a destination MAC address that is not included in the bridge database will be discarded, unless the Unknown Known Address Mode parameter of the Forwarding Rule being used is set to Forward. A MAC address that according to the lists should be denied will not be learned.If the Maximum MAC addresses learned is set to a value other than 0, the maximum number of entries in the bridge database is limited to the configured value. In this case when the table is full additional MAC addresses cannot be learned until a MAC address is removed from the table by the aging mechanism. A packet arriving on the R1 interface with a source MAC address that is not included in the bridge database will be discarded. The range is from 0 to 1024. The default is 0 (no limit up to the maximum of 1024).

However, in units using certain Country Codes the actually available Tx Power range depends also on the maximum allowed EIRP and Power Spectral Density according to relevant regulations and on the configured Bandwidth and Antenna Gain:CAUTIONFor units installed in the United States using FCC Country Code in the 5470-5600 and 5650-5725 MHz bands, the following guidelines must be followed: The operating frequency of either a master or a client device installed within 22 miles (35 kilometers) of a Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR) location shall be separated by at least 30 MHz (center-to-center) from the TDWR operating frequency. For TDWRs location information refer to FCC KDB 443999 or to http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/search.aspx).The installers and the operators have to register the devices in the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA) UNII Device Interference Advisor (UDIA) sponsored database and registry, with the appropriate information regarding the location and operation of the device as well as the installer information; the registration form can be found at http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx.CAUTIONIf due to either restrictions imposed by local regulations or any other reason you cannot use the entire frequency band supported by the selected Country Code, you should disable the Random Channel Selection option (see Section 4.5.4.5.9.1) and use the Usable Frequency option to define the frequencies manually (see Section 4.7.2.2.2.3).For example, when using the 5.4 GHz FCC Country Code, you may use either frequencies in the 5470-5600 MHz and 5650-5725 MHz bands (with FCC), or frequencies in the 5725-5850 MHz band.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Sector MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 171 System ManualIn certain regions there are radar systems operating in the 5 GHz band. Applicable regulations dictates that wireless access systems operating in these bands shall not interfere with the operation of the radar systems. This means that the wireless access system must be able to automatically detect the presence of radar signals and avoid transmissions on frequencies used by radar systems in its vicinity.The Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) mechanism is based on monitoring of the frequency being used and automatic switching to a radar-free frequency upon detection of radar activity on the current frequency. The test for radar activity is performed according to the applicable standards (ETSI or FCC), according to the selected DFS Type.Before initiating transmission on a new frequency that is not defined as Available (at start-up after power up or reset none of the frequencies are defined as Available) the unit performs a Channel Availability Check to ensure that there is no radar operating on this frequency. During normal operation, the unit continues monitoring the operating frequency (In-Service Monitoring) to ensure that there is no radar operating on the frequency. After deciding that a frequency is Available, it is considered as an Available frequency for a period defined by the Startup Test Valid Period parameter.Upon detection of radar activity on the operating frequency, the unit will automatically stop transmissions on this frequency that will be marked as Unavailable (Radar Detected) channel. The unit may continue transmissions on this frequency for a very limited period, allowing it to complete some transmissions of data and send control and management signals to support the transition of the served devices to a new channel. The frequency on which radar was detected will be considered as Unavailable for a period defined by the configurable Channel Non Occupancy Period parameter. If the Random Channel Selection parameter (see “Random Channel Selection” on page 102) is set to Disable, the unit will switch randomly to another frequency in the Usable Frequencies List that is not considered as Unavailable. If the Random Channel Selection parameter is set to Enable, the unit will switch randomly to another frequency in the relevant frequency band that is not considered as Unavailable. If the selected frequency is not marked as Available, the unit will check for radar activity before initiating transmissions on the new frequency. If DCS is enabled, it will be activated upon startup or detection of radar activity. The new channel selected by the DCS mechanism will be tested for presence of radar activity before initiating transmissions on the new frequency.In configurations with two sectors, when the DFS Frequencies Management Level (see “DFS Frequencies Management Level” on page 103) is set to BTS Level, the

The frequency is considered as Unavailable for selection by the DFS mechanism if the elapsed time since the Detected Time is not higher than Channel Non Occupancy Period.Last Clear Channel Test: The last date and time at which the test results indicated that there is no radar activity on this frequency, or N/A if the frequency was not tested since last reset. The frequency is considered as Available for selection by the DFS mechanism if the elapsed time since the Last Clear Channel Test is not higher than Startup Test Valid Period.4.7.2.2.2.2 DCSThe DCS (Dynamic Channel Selection) mechanism is designed to find the most suitable channel for operation, i.e., the channel with the least interferences.When the BS is turned on (startup) the DCS is triggered to select one of the best channels at the current time. The selection is based on Noise and Interference (NI) level measurements performed in all defined channels by the built-in spectrum analyzer. DFS (if applicable) will be triggered after the channel selection (for verification of the channel). A channel that is considered by the DFS mechanism as Unavailable (see “DFS” on page 170) will not be selected by the DCS mechanism.If the Random Channel Selection parameter (see “Random Channel Selection” on page 102) is set to Disable, the channels to be included in the DCS mechanism will be those included in the Usable Frequencies List. If the Random Channel Selection parameter is set to Enable, the unit will select randomly channels from the relevant frequency band.In configurations with two sectors, the DCS mechanism will avoid selection of the channel used by the other sector.During normal operation (on-going status), spectral efficiency detectors triggers the DCS mechanism to seek for a new channel when channel conditions cause performance degradation below a certain level.Upon channel selection, the DCS is in charge of tracking the channel during ongoing operation. During channel tracking, the DCS collects the uplink and downlink RSSI and SNR of MSs served by the BS and calculates the average SNR according to RSSI ranges. This enables the DCS to track the channel's conditions according to the actual deployment and conditions, without any need for external calibration/definitions. The DCS compares the on-going conditions with the conditions at the initial selection point. If the conditions degraded below a certain threshold, the channel selection procedure is triggered again.
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration Sector MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 177 System ManualIn Single sector Dual BS Operation Mode, the sector operates using two adjacent channels. Therefore the selection is based on the statistics gathered from the two adjacent channels. Also, once a degradation is detected on one of the channels, instead of stopping the operation in both channels the DCS first verifies if the other adjacent channel (on the other side of the “good” channel) has better conditions then the “bad” channel. The verification is performed using the average NI of the current channel, and the NI measurements of the new channel. If the channel has better conditions then this channel is selected. This process ensures that service to MSs served by the “good” channel is not interrupted. If not, then the operation of both channels is stopped and the new channels selection mechanism is triggered.The DCS Menu includes the following options:ShowUpdate DCS General ParametersShow DCS Scanning Results4.7.2.2.2.2.1 ShowSelect this option to display the following:Current DCS SupportConfigured DCS SupportThe following will be displayed only if Configured DCS Support is set to Enable:Current NI Channel Measurement Interval (sec)Configured NI Channel Measurement Interval (sec)Current SNR Averaging Factor (%)Configured SNR Averaging Factor (%)Current SNR Degradation Percentage (%)Configured SNR Degradation Percentage (%)Current Channel Tracking Interval (sec)

If the calculated average SNR for either the uplink or downlink of any of the MSs served by the channel drops by the defined threshold compared to the reference level calculated at the time of the channel’s selection, the DCS mechanism will be triggered for selection of a different channel.The range is from 0 to 100 (%).The default is 20 (%).4.7.2.2.2.2.2.5 Channel Tracking Interval (sec)The Channel Tracking Interval defines the time interval to collect information for channel tracking.

This is the only mode that can be used by 1SIS and 2SIS units using No Diversity operation mode. It cannot be used by units using diversity operation modes.MIMO Matrix AMIMO Matrix A&BMIMO Matrix A for Coverage Gain: In configuration with multiple transmit/receive antennas, a single data stream is transmitted in parallel over multiple paths. A mathematical algorithm known as Space Time Codes (STC) is used to encode the data streams to make them orthogonal to each other. This improves the signal to noise ratio at the receiver side, resulting in increased range and better throughput for subscribers that are difficult to reach (e.g. deep indoors).MIMO Matrix B for Increased Capacity: This flavor of MIMO, also known as Spatial Multiplexing MIMO (SM-MIMO), sends an independent data stream over each antenna. Thus, in case signal conditions are good, the data rate is increased and in excellent conditions may be doubled.1DIV units that support diversity can be configured to operate in either MIMO Matrix A or MIMO Matrix A&B modes. When operating in MIMO Matrix A&B mode the system can use either MIMO Matrix A or MIMO Matrix B. The selection
Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration BS MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 193 System Manualbetween Matrix A and Matrix B is performed automatically for each MS according to link conditions (PER) and supported MS capabilities. The default for 1DIV units is MIMO Matrix A.4.8.2.2.3.2 UL Thermal Noise Level (dBm)This parameter defines the target noise level to be used for calculating uplink CINR values that are necessary for various functions such as the power control mechanism. The BS broadcasts the targeted UL Thermal Noise Level level that is used by the MSs in open loop power control mode. Increasing the advertised NI causes the MS to transmit more power to support the same modulation. The NI value is typically set 6 dB higher than prevailing thermal noise.The range is from -130 to -100 dBm.The default is -125 dBm.4.8.2.2.3.3 DL HARQ ChannelsThe number of HARQ channels to be used for the WiMAX management connection in the downlink.The range is from 8 to 16.The default is 16. In 3.x GHz units, to support operation with BreezeMAX 1000 series CPEs, the DL HARQ Channels parameters should be set to 10. Otherwise, the value should not be changed from the default.4.8.2.2.3.4 UL HARQ ChannelsThe number of HARQ channels to be used for the WiMAX management connection in the uplink.The range is from 8 to 10.In 3.x GHz units, to support operation with BreezeMAX 1000 CPEs, the UL HARQ Channels parameter should be set to 8.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration BS MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 194 System ManualThe default is Enable.4.8.2.2.4 Multi RateThe system employs a multirate algorithm to dynamically adapt the modulation scheme and Forward Error Correction (FEC) coding to actual link conditions. The algorithm is managed by the BS taking into account also information received from the served MSs. Optimal values are calculated separately for the uplink and downlink for each MS. MAP messages transmitted to the MSs include information on the uplink rate that should be used by each MS for its next transmission.The multirate algorithm optimizes the trade-off between capacity and error rate: In most deployments, most of the links use high order modulation most of the time, maximizing capacity. “Bad” links use lower order modulation, maximizing availability. The algorithm provides independent adaptation per MS, and it is performed independently for UL and DL, based on link quality information. The algorithm provides dynamic adaptation - modulation can be changed on a per burst basis.

At each rate, the mechanism will move from the highest supported number of sub-channels (35 for 10 MHz BS bandwidth, 17 for 5 MHz BS bandwidth) down to the value of this parameter before reaching a decision to switch to a lower rate. In the other direction, the mechanism will start at this value and move up to the highest supported number of sub-channels before reaching a decision to switch to a higher rate.

Chapter 4 - Operation and Administration GPS MenuBreezeMAX Extreme 214 System Manual4.11.2.1.2 GPS TypeThe GPS Type defines the GPS receiver. The available options are None and Trimble.The default is Trimble.4.11.2.1.3 Stop Tx After Hold Over TimeoutFor initial synchronization, a minimum of four satellites must be received properly (meeting certain criteria). Upon losing the 1PPS clock from the GPS, or if the received clock is not considered accurate enough because the number of received satellites dropped below the minimum (two satellites), the local 1PPS clock will be generated using the internal 10MHz clock. After a certain time (defined by the Hold Over Passed Timeout parameter described below), it is assumed that due to clock drifts there might be interferences among sectors belonging to the BTS and sectors belonging to neighboring BTSs. If the Stop Tx After Hold Over Timeout parameter is set to Enable, the BTS will stop transmitting after this timeout (unless the number of properly received satellites has increased again to four or more), to prevent interferences to the sectors belonging to other BTSs. If it is set to Disable, transmissions will continue indefinitely, at the expense of potential interferences to sectors belonging to other BTSs.The default is Disable (Hold Over indefinitely).4.11.2.1.4 Hold Over Passed Timeout (Min)This parameter defines the Hold Over timeout, after which there might be interferences to other sectors. When the Stop Tx After Hold Over Timeout is enabled, transmissions will stop after this timeout. When the Stop Tx After Hold Over Timeout is disabled, this timeout is used to generate a trap indicating that there might be interferences to neighboring sectors.The range is from 0 to 2880 (minutes).The default is 30 (minutes).4.11.2.1.5 Time Zone Offset From UTCThis is the offset of the local time from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). The range is from -12:00 up to +13:00 in 30 minutes resolution. The format must be either -XX:YY or +XX:YY where YY is either 00 or 30.The default is +00:00.NOTEIf GPS Type is set to Trimble the unit will not start transmitting until initial synchronization (at least 4 properly received satellites) is achieved.

If Slave#1 will detect that it does not receive clocks for a certain period of time, it will assume that the Master unit has failed and will start using its internal 10 MHz clock, supplying the clocks also to the other slave units (if exist). Slave#2 will wait for a longer period of time before assuming that both the Master and Slave#1 have failed, and so on.The functionality and operation mode of the main clocks is:4.11.2.2.2 External 1PPS Clock (read-only)The 1PPS (Pulse Per Second) clock is used to determine the air-frame start time. Assuming that all systems use the same air-frame size and DL/UL Ratio, then, when the 1PPS clock is received from a GPS system, this mechanism ensures inter-site and intra-site synchronization among all sectors, preventing cross interference and saturation problems. When using the internal 1PPS clock (derived from the 10MHz clock source), only intra-site synchronization among sectors can be achieved.For a Master unit the default External 1PPS Clock is Disable (use internal 1PPS clock source derived from either the built-in GPS receiver or from the 10MHz clock).For Slave units the default External 1PPS Clock is Enable (derived from the previous unit in the chain).

Glossary
GlossaryBreezeMAX Extreme 255 System ManualAAA Authentication, Authorization, and Accounting (pronounced "triple a."). A system (or several systems) that controls what resources users have access to, and keeps track of the activity of users over the network. AAS Adaptive Antenna System, also called Advanced Antenna System, is a technology to enable the network operators to increase the wireless network capacity. In addition, adaptive antenna systems offer the potential of increased spectrum efficiency, extended range of coverage and higher rate of frequency reuse. Adaptive antenna systems consist of multiple antenna elements at the transmitting and/or receiving side of the communication link, whose signals are processed adaptively in order to exploit the spatial dimension of the mobile radio channel. Depending on whether the processing is performed at the transmitter, receiver, or both ends of the communication link, the adaptive antenna technique is defined as multiple-input single-output (MISO), single-input multiple-output (SIMO), or multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO).ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange. A code for representing English characters as numbers, with each letter assigned a number from 0 to 127.ASN Access Service Network. An ASN is defined as a complete set of network functions needed to provide radio access to a WiMAX subscriber. An ASN is comprised of network elements such as one or more Base Stations (BS) and one or more ASN gateways (ASN-GW). An ASN may be shared by more than one Connectivity Service Network (CSN).ASN-GW Access Service Network Gateway. The ASN-GW is a network entity that acts as a gateway between the ASN and CSN. The ASN functions hosted in an ASN-GW may be viewed as consisting of two groups - the decision point (DP) that provides control functionality and enforcement point (EP) that provides bearer transport.AU Access UnitAWG An electronics industry acronym for American Wire Gauge. AWG is a measure of the thickness of copper, aluminum and other wiring.BTS Base Transceiver Station. A wireless network element that provides the radio interface of the network. The BTS comprises the radio transmission and reception devices, and also manages the signal processing related to the air interface.BW BandwidthCINR Carrier-to-Interference plus Noise Ratio (expressed in dB)CIR Committed Information Rate. The rate (in bits per second) at which a network guarantees to transfer information under normal conditions, averaged over a minimum increment of time.CLI Command Line Interface. A user interface that accepts typed commands to instruct the managed device on the task to perform.CPU Central Processing Unit.CS Convergence Sublayer. Particular protocols that are responsible for gathering and formatting higher layer information so it can be processed by the lower layers.
GlossaryBreezeMAX Extreme 256 System ManualCSMA/CD Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection. Media-access mechanisms wherein devices ready to transmit data first check the channel for a carrier. If no carrier is sensed for a specific period of time, a device can transmit. If two devices transmit at once, a collision occurs and is detected by all colliding devices. This collision subsequently delays retransmissions from those devices for some random length of time. Ethernet and IEEE 802.3 use CSMA/CD access.CSN Connectivity Service Network. A CSN is defined as a set of network functions that provide IP connectivity services to WiMAX subscribers and all the IP core network functions. A CSN is comprised of network elements such as routers, proxy/servers, user databases, and inter-working gateway devices.CTC Convolutional Turbo Code is a type of turbo codes with some of the convolutional schemes used. For its high-performance error correction nature, CTC is the iterative decoding scheme of choice as evidenced by their wide adoption in standards bodies.DCD Downlink Channel Descriptor.DHCP Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. A protocol for dynamically assigning IP addresses from a pre-defined list to nodes on a network. Using DHCP to manage IP addresses simplifies client configuration and efficiently utilizes IP addresses. DL Down LinkDSCP Differentiated Service Code Point, AKA DiffServ: An alternate use for the ToS byte in IP packets. Six bits of this byte are being reallocated for use as the DSCP field where each DSCP specifies a particular per-hop behavior that is applied to the packet.DNS Domain Naming System. A system that stores information about hostnames and domain names. DNS provides an IP address for each hostname, and lists the e-mail exchange servers accepting e-mail addresses for each domain. DSL Digital Subscriber Line. A technology that exploits unused frequencies on copper telephone lines to transmit traffic typically at multi-megabit speeds. DSL can allow voice and high-speed data to be sent simultaneously over the same line. Because the service is 'always available,' end-users don't need to dial in or wait for call set-up.EAP Extensible Authentication Protocol, A protocol used between a user station and an authenticator or authentication server. It acts as a transport for authentication methods or types. It, in turn may be encapsulated in other protocols, such as 802.1x and RADIUS. EAP is defined by RFC 2284.EDT Electrical Down-TiltEIRP Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power. The apparent power transmitted towards the receiver, if it is assumed that the signal is radiated equally in all directions. The EIRP is equal to the power (in dBm) at the antenna port, plus the power gained from the directivity of the antenna (in dBi).EMC Electro-Magnetic Compatibility. The capability of equipment or systems to be used in their intended environment within designed efficiency levels without causing or receiving degradation due to unintentional EMI (Electro Magnetic Interference). EMC generally encompasses all of the electromagnetic disciplines.
GlossaryBreezeMAX Extreme 257 System ManualETS European Telecommunications StandardETSI European Telecommunications Standards Institute. A non-profit organization producing voluntary telecommunications standards used throughout Europe, some of which have been adopted by the EC as the technical base for Directives or Regulations. GPS Global Positioning System. A system that uses satellites, receivers and software to allow users to determine their precise geographic position.GRE General Routing Encapsulation. A method or technique of adding an IP standard header and trailer to a message that does not follow IP protocols. The encapsulated message is sent over a public network while received messages are stripped of the wrapper and processed. This permits non-standard data and totally encrypted messages to use the Internet. The technology is an important element in Virtual Private Network (VPN) offerings.HP High Power.IEEE Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. IEEE (pronounced I-triple-E) is an organization of engineers, scientists, and students. The IEEE is best known for developing standards for the computer and electronics industry.

IEEE 802.16e is sometimes called Mobile WiMAX, after the WiMAX forum for interoperability. 802.16e, based on an existing WiMAX standard 802.16a, adds WiMAX mobility in the 2-to-6 GHz-licensed bands. 802.16e allows for fixed wireless and mobile Non Line of Sight (NLOS) applications primarily by enhancing the OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access).IEEE 802.1p A QoS method - A three-bit value that can be placed inside an 802.1Q frame tag. IEEE 802.1q The IEEE 802.1q standard defines the operation of VLAN Bridges that permit the definition, operation and administration of Virtual LAN topologies within a Bridged LAN infrastructure. The 802.1q specification establishes a standard method for inserting VLAN membership information into Ethernet frames. A tag field containing VLAN (and/or 802.1p priority) information can be inserted into an Ethernet frame, carrying VLAN membership information.IEEE 802.3 A Local Area Network protocol suite commonly known as Ethernet. Ethernet uses Carrier Sense Multiple Access bus with Collision Detection CSMA/CD. This method allows users to share the network cable. However, only one station can use the cable at a time. A variety of physical medium dependent protocols are supported.IF Intermediate Frequency. Radio communications systems modulate a carrier frequency with a baseband signal in order to achieve radio transmission. In many cases, the carrier is not modulated directly. Instead, a lower IF signal is modulated and processed. At a later circuit stage, the IF signal is converted up to the transmission frequency band.
GlossaryBreezeMAX Extreme 258 System ManualIGMP Internet Group Membership Protocol) is protocol used by IP hosts to report their host group memberships to any immediately neighboring multicast routers.The use of IP multicasting in TCP/IP networks is defined as a TCP/IP standard in RFC 1112. In addition to defining address and host extensions for how IP hosts support multicasting, this RFC also defines the IGMP version 1. Version 2 of IGMP is defined in RFC 2236. Both versions of IGMP provide a protocol to exchange and update information about host membership in specific multicast groups.IP Internet Protocol.

NMSs communicate with agents to help keep track of network statistics and resources.NSP Network Service Provider. An NSP is a business entity that provides IP connectivity and WiMAX services to WiMAX subscribers compliant with the established service level agreement. The NSP concept is an extension of the Internet service provider (ISP) concept, providing network services beyond Internet access. To provide these 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.OFDM Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing: A method for multiplexing signals, which divides the available bandwidth into a series of frequencies known as tones. Orthogonal tones do not interfere with each other when the peak of one tone corresponds with the null. The rapid switching, frequency-hopping technique is intended to allow more robust data service.OFDMA Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access. It’s a logical extension of OFDM and a modulation/multiple access technique. OFDMA divides a signal into sub-channels (i.e. groups of carriers), with each sub-channel (or several sub-channels) being allocated to a different subscriber. PER Packet Error Rate. In a digital transmission, PER is the percentage of packets with errors divided by the total number of packets that have been transmitted, received or processed over a given time period.PHY PHYsical Layer. The physical, or lowest, layer of the OSI Network Model. In a wireless network, the PHY defines parameters such as data rates, modulation method, signaling parameters, transmitter/receiver synchronization, etc. Within an actual radio implementation, the PHY corresponds to the radio front end and baseband signal processing sections.PS Power SupplyQoS Quality of Service. Measure of performance for a transmission system that reflects its transmission quality and service availability.QPSK Quadrature Phase Shift Keying. A data transfer technique used in coaxial cable networks that sends data using modulating signals. Four different phases represent data, with each signal's information determined by the signal before it. For example, if a phase stays the same from one signal to the other, the information has not changed.RADIUS Remote Authentication Dial-In User Service, an authentication and accounting system used by many Internet Service Providers (ISPs). When you connect to the system you must enter your username and password. This information is passed to a RADIUS server, which checks that the information is correct, and then authorizes access to the system.
