All profiles are located under the “provisioning“ tab in the Node.

MGMT profile – Node profile

VoIP profile – Node profile

RF profile – channel profile

MCS profile – channel profile

PHY profile – channel profile



Figure 6 - Netspan profiles

4.1 MGMT Profile

The following parameters must be configured in the MGMT profile, in order to:

Collect statistics

Enable MS fault management and MS tracking

In this section we will focus on these profiles



Figure 7 - Management profile

4.2 VoIP Profile

The following parameters must be configured in the VoIP profile, in order to:

Work with the VoiceMAX server

Distinguish which SCs will be used when VoIP session is open.

Figure 8 - VoIP profile

4.3 Channel Properties – Guide for All Subchannels Network

Located at Node provisioning tab.

The following parameters must be configured in the RF profile, in order:

Cell ID

Preamble index

UL/DL Permutation Base

VoiceMAX QoS IP

These SC will open by the BS when VoIP call start and close after the VoIP call finished.

Enable these statistics only in mobile configuration

Minimum collection Period should be 15 min.



Figure 9 - 16e BS Channel

It is mandatory to setup these parameters according to the following rules:

1. First site with 3 sectors –

a. Sector 1: cell ID 0, segment 0 preamble 0.

b. Sector 2: cell ID 0, segment 1 preamble 32.

c. Sector 3: cell ID 0, segment 2 preamble 64.

2. Second site with 3 sectors:




3. Third site with 3 sectors:




Notes:

1. Preamble Index will be updated automatically when you choose the Segment ID.

2. Choose random and different UL/DL Permutation ID for each sector.

For FFR Configuration refer to - FFR - Fractional Frequency Reuse Configuration



4.4 RF Profile

Located at the Node Provisioning tab.

The following parameters must be configured in the RF profile, in order:

Set the BS frequency and TX power.

The minimum and maximum TX power values are:

a. Frequency- 700MHz; Min=25dBm, Max=39dBm.

b. Frequency- 1.4GHz; Min=25dBm, Max=33dBm.

c. Frequency- 1.8GHz; Min=25dBm, Max=39dBm.

d. Frequency- 2.x GHz; Min=25dBm, Max=40dBm.

e. Frequency- 3.x GHz; Min=25dBm, Max=37dBm.

f. Frequency- 5.x GHz; Min=25dBm, Max=33dBm.

Leave all other parameters as default or modify only according to Airspan CS instructions.

Figure 10 - Edit RF profile

The following are descriptions of some parameters and their recommended values:

Rx Level Set Point

The uplink receive level set point. Target UL RSSI used by the BS during initial network ranging. A lower Rx level set point will cause the MS to perform network entry at a lower

BS frequency

TX power & EIRP – these values must be identical.



received signal strength on the UL and vice versa when setting higher Rx level set point. Too high a set point will result in excess interference level to other cells; too low a set point will limit the cell range. Recommended values: Min = -110, Max = 50, Default = -94 dBm

Initial Ranging EIRP

Maximum equivalent isotropic received power at the BS during initial ranging. Used by MS to calculate initial entry range transmission power during Network entry.

Recommended values: Min = -130, Max = -40, Default = -64 dBm.

RF Gain

Indicates the gain of the RF stages of the sector. Higher RF gain > UL RSSI + noise level. This value is used in the RSSI calculations. Lower RF gain will decrease the level of UL signal strength and the level of UL noise and higher RF gain will do the opposite. Too low a RF gain will bring the signal close to the modem quantization noise and will decrease coverage. Too high RF gain will bring the signal closer to the saturation level of the modem and will increase the minimum distance required between MS and BS for proper operation.

Recommended values: Min = 30, Max = 50, Default = 45 dB.

Power Control Mode

Closed Loop – MS Tx power is exclusively controlled by the BS command.

Open Loop – MS Tx power is adjusted based on changes in the DL signal strength and BS command.

Recommended value: Open loop Passive with offset SS Retention.

4.5 MCS Profile

Located at the Node provisioning tab.

In the MCS profile the user can configure all modulations supported by the BS on both DL and UL.

It is highly recommended to use the latest MCS system profile, found in Netspan.



Figure 11 - MCS profiles


Traffic DL and UL

Select Adaptive Modulation or Fixed Modulation according to list. Default = Adaptive Modulation.

Minimum Entry Threshold (dB) DL and UL

The minimum value of signal to noise ratio that must be achieved before it is permissible to switch to this burst profile from a more robust one.

4.6 PHY Profile

Located at the Node provisioning tab > channel.

The following parameters are configured in the RF profile:

Working bandwidth and the TDD split.

Working with all subchannels or FFR.

It is recommended to use system default profiles according to PHY planning.

5 WiMAX Network Architectures Setup

This section refers to the supported Network Architecture for Air4G WiMAX BS, based on

802.16e BS Network Architecture.

This section describes the setup configuration regarding to the Network Profile and Network

Interfaces (Bridge Profile (VLAN Tagged / untagged), ASN GW, Radius) within Netspan.

(It does not refer in detail to RF and system configuration profile).

5.1 Standalone, No Authentication, No ASN-GW

In this architecture the Air4G WiMAX BS is connected directly to the CSN. This architecture does not include an ASN Gateway and AAA server.

The following applies in the stand alone network architecture:

Data service flows between the BS and CPEs are Ethernet CS only.

All traffic between the CPEs and the CSN network is passing through the BS directly. Traffic is L2 (including Ethernet header and VLANs) since all data service flows are Ethernet CS only.

Network entry process of the CPEs includes only the BS.

No CPE authentication is available. AES Encryption of the data service flows in the WiMAX air interface between the BS and the CPE using PKMv2 is not applicable.

The CPEs are managed by Netspan. Data service flows to the CPEs are provisioned by Netspan using service products.

Mobile features of handover and idle mode are not applicable.



Figure 13 - Stand Alone Architecture

5.1.1 Untagged Mode

In this mode the Data Traffic and Management Traffic from / to the BS are Untagged.

5.4 Standalone with Authentication (Any Radius server) + AAA Provisioning

In this architecture the Air4G WiMAX BS is connected directly to the CSN. This architecture

does not include an ASN Gateway.



All traffic between the CPEs and the CSN network passes through the BS directly. Traffic is L2 (including Ethernet header and VLANs) since all data service flows are Ethernet CS only.



The MSs are managed by Netspan and AAA server. Data service flows to the MS are provisioned by the AAA.

Since all data service flows are IP CS, only L3 classifiers are applicable.


Note: Complete IOT between Air4G and AAA server is needed before starting to work in this mode.

5.6 Hybrid Mode - Mobile WiMAX (IP-CS) + Standalone (ETH-CS)

In this architecture the Air4G WiMAX BS is operating in the full mobile WiMAX network architecture and Standalone configuration simultaneously.

This architecture includes an ASN Gateway and AAA server and suited for fully mobile CPE subscribers.

The following applies in this network architecture:

Data service flows between the BS and MSs are IP CS or ETH CS – according to user setup.

In the IP-CS CPEs - All traffic between the MSs and the CSN network is routed through the ASNGW. Each data service flow between the BS and MSs is mapped to a GRE tunnel connection between the BS and the ASNGW.

In ETH-CS CPEs - All traffic between the CPEs and the CSN network is passing through the BS directly. Traffic is L2 (including Ethernet header and VLANs) since all data service flows are Ethernet CS only.

In the IP-CS CPEs - Network entry process of the MS includes the ASNGW and AAA server for MS authentication.

In the ETH-CS CPEs - Network entry process of the CPEs includes only the BS.

In the IP-CS CPEs - AES Encryption of the data service flows in the WiMAX air interface between the BS and the MS using PKMv2 is applicable as the BS derives encryption keys from the AAA server.

In the ETH-CS CPEs - AES Encryption of the data service flows in the WiMAX air interface between the BS and the MS using PKMv2 is applicable as the BS derives encryption keys from the AAA server.

In the IP-CS CPEs - The MSs are managed by the ASNGW and AAA server only, and not by Netspan. Data service flows to the MS are provisioned by the AAA and ASNGW.

In the ETH-CS CPEs - The CPEs are managed by Netspan. Data service flows to the CPEs are provisioned by Netspan using service products.

In the IP-CS CPEs - Since all data service flows are IP CS, only L3 classifiers are applicable.

In the ETH-CS CPEs - Data service flows between the BS and CPEs are Ethernet CS only.

6 Service Products (QoS) Explanation & Creation

This section describes how the user data is being classified and conveyed over the WiMAX link.

Note: It is mandatory to create Service Products in order to convey traffic over the WiMAX link.

Classifiers

The classifier is an advanced filter. When a packet enters the queue it is being run through a set of user defined filters (i.e. Classifiers) that determine a number of options:

Packet is to be sent through a specific service-flow.

Packet is to be discarded.

Priority

The Priority section defines which classifier is examined first when a packet enters the queue. Ranges for the Priority are from 0 to 255. A classifier with a priority of 0 would be checked last and a classifier with a priority of 255 would be checked first.

Drop

In ASMAX it is possible to use the classifier to drop packets (similar to a basic firewall).

In WiMAX packet classification can be done on a number of parameters. A list of classification methods is shown below.

L2 Rules

This set of classifiers belongs to the third layer of the OSI model i.e. belongs to the network layer. They consist of:

TOS range (with Mask)

IP Protocol Number Source IP address (with Mask)

Destination IP address (with Mask)

Source port range.

L3 Rules

These set of classifiers belong to the second layer of the OSI model i.e. belong to the MAC layer. They consist of:

Source MAC address (with Mask)

Destination MAC address (with Mask)

Layer 3 protocol ID (for details see http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1042.html).

Service Classes

The service class is the actual “physical” Pipe on which the data is sent.

As in the world of plumbing, pipes come in different shapes and sizes. You can have a “wide” pipe carrying a large amount of payload (e.g. high MIR) or a small pipe for low volumes (e.g. low MIR).

The Service Class also defines the scheduling type.

In WiMAX we have 5 types of scheduling types: BE, RTPS, NRTPS, ERTPS and UGS.

http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1042.html



Table 3 - Service Class Parameters

* User define

+ Marked

- Unmarked

Service Products

A Service product is a bundle of service flows that can be assigned to a specific subscriber as a pre-made package.

Examples

The following is example of service products:

Best Effort (BE) Service Product

This section will describe the creation of a Best effort “wildcard” service product.

Example No. 2:

The following is example of service class:

UGS 100K Service Class for Voice application ( G729 packet = 10ms)





6.1 IP- Classifiers in ETH-CS Mode

When working in ETH-CS mode without ASN-GW it is possible to use IP classification on the Downlink and Uplink direction.

SC Name

Choose UGS as scheduling type and priority

Choose the appropriate polices according to table in page 172

MIR = CIR = 100K

Poll period = 10ms

ARQ = not requested

HARQ = Enabled



These rules MUST be applied when using this mode:

1. MS can have only Ethernet (L2) classification rules OR TCP/IP (L3/L4) classification rules, but not both (with one exception, see (4) below) – this rule applies ONLY on DL.

2. Non IP traffic cannot be classified using TCP/IP rules.

3. If MS has TCP/IP rules, it cannot have a wildcard rule (as it is implemented as an Ethernet rule). To work around this, define an IP address rule with an all zero mask (this is a de facto wildcard for any IP packet) – see the example below.

DL unicast ARP packets, which are required for normal network functionality, are not IP packets and hence cannot pass using TCP/IP rules.

Therefore, the BS allows one exception to the limitation defined in (1): A rule based on Ether type (L2) only is allowed alongside TCP/IP rules.

This allows one to configure a rule with Ethertype=0x806, which would allow traversal of those packets.

Examples

The following is example of service products:

Best Effort (BE) Service Product allowing any IP traffic from any IP to any IP.

This section will describe the creation of a Best effort “wildcard” IP service products.

8 DHCP Option 82

DHCP Option 82 provides a mechanism for generating IP addresses based on location the client device is in the network. Information about its location can be sent along with the request to the server. The DHCP server makes a decision on what IP should be assigned based on this information. In order to implement DHCP Option 82, the network must have the following equipment:

Standard DHCP client

Switch or router implementing Relay Agent with Option 82 support

DHCP server with Option 82 Support

When applying Option 82 for DHCP in Airspan’s Air4G – it acts as a switch implementing Relay agent Option 82.

The DHCP relay agent and Option 82 are defined in RFC 3046. Relay Agent Information option is inserted by the DHCP relay agent, in our case – the Air4G when forwarding client-originated DHCP packets to a DHCP server.

Servers recognizing the Relay Agent Information option may use the Information to implement IP address or other parameter assignment policies.

The Air4G and Mobile Station in conjunction, when enabled and configured for the DHCP relay agent, intercepts the DHCP requests, appends the circuit ID + remote ID into the Option 82 fields and forwards the request message to DHCP server

In Airspan’s Node profile settings Option 82 is operational ONLY via VLAN configuration and VLAN Bridge mode and requires PVID mode in subscriber stations.



8.1 Implementing Option 82 in network:

Example of implementing Option 82 in network:



8.2 Creating a VLAN profile to be used with the desired Option 82 Mode

Binary or text mode should be chosen according to Routers/ DHCP server’s deployment requirements in you network.

8.2.1 Create VLAN Configuration







Set the MIR- 50K






Creating VLAN:











Note: For the Option 82 properly operate:

Air4G must be operating in VLAN Bridge mode.

MS must operate also under Bridge mode VLAN + PVID set with Option 82 enabled with VLAN configuration applied.




Choose the DHCP mode



8.2.2 Create a new MS VLAN port

1. Located at –Service profiles > MS VLAN port.

8. Click OK.




9 Applying IEEE 802.1Q-in-Q VLAN Tag

The IEEE 802.1Q-in-Q VLAN Tag purpose is to expand the VLAN space by tagging the tagged packets, thus producing a "double-tagged" frame. The expanded VLAN space allows the service provider to provide certain services, such as Internet access on specific VLANs for specific customers, and yet still allows the service provider to provide other types of services for their other customers on other VLANs.

Note: The IEEE 802.1Q-in-Q double tagged frame is called "S-tag". The IEEE 802.1Q "inner" tagged frame is called "C-tag".

This section will add the explanation to the different S / C tag Tagging and priority combinations allowed in the BS as well as MS levels Via Netspan settings.

Important guidelines regarding Q-in-Q feature:

1) ALL traffic related to MS coming out of the BS to the operator’s network will be Q-in-Q with the same outer Vlan Id.

2) BS management Vlan cannot be with Q-in-Q – it stays as a regular Vlan.

3) Both MS Vlan port profile and BS Vlan bridge profile have Q-in-Q enabled.

4) The MS Vlan port profile has all the inner Vlans ( C-Tag).

5) The BS Vlan bridge profile has ONLY the BS management Vlan and the Q-in-Q Outer Vlan ( S-Tag) in the Vlan list.

6) All the Vlans profiles including the outer Vlan profile have multicast CID.

a. The CPE implementation in Bridge Mode is to pass traffic (and Vlan tagged traffic) as is.
