12. Working Groups
AWG – defines application over WiMAX that are
necessary to meet core competitive offerings, and
that are uniquely enhanced by WiMAX.
CWG – handles operational aspects of the WiMAX
Forum Certified Program.
GRWG – assures availability of roaming service for
WiMAX networks.
MWG – promote WiMAX forum, its brand and
standards.
NWG – creates higher level networking
specifications for fixed, portable, nomadic, and
mobile WiMAX systems beyond what is defined in
the scope of 802.16.
RWG – influences worldwide regulatory agencies to
promote WiMAX friendly, globally harmonized
spectrum allocation.
SPWG – provides coordinated input from service
providers to the other working groups. It is the
single source for coordinated recommendations and
requirements that drives the network and air
interface specification for WiMAX.
TWG – develop technical product specifications and
certification test suites complementary to the IEEE
802.16, for the purpose of interoperability and
certification of MS, SS and BS conforming to
802.16.
13. WiMAX Profiles
System profiles and Certification profiles are defined by
WiMAX forum to reduce the scope of the standard. A smaller
set of design choices for implementation is defined for practical
reasons of interoperability.
A system profile defines the subset of mandatory and optional
PHY- and MAC-layer features selected by the WiMAX Forum
from the IEEE 802.16-2004 or IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard.
Fixed System Profile – OFDM PHY based on IEEE 802.16-
2004
Mobility System Profile – OFDMA PHY based on IEEE
802.16e-2005 scalable
A certification profile is defined as a particular instantiation of a
system profile where the operating frequency, channel
bandwidth, and duplexing mode are also specified.
WiMAX equipment are certified for interoperability against a
particular certification profile.
14. Certification Testing
Certification testing are
performed in multiple releases
and waves. Multiple releases
are necessary to test products
as they evolve over time with
new features/specifications.
New releases new test for new
features as well as previously
tested features, in different waves
of testing.

(SFM)
Tunneling and message relay function between BS
and AGW
Reception and encryption key to MS
Provide terminal activity (active, idle) status
33. Network Elements
Access Service Network Gateway (AGW) performs
management of BS and interconnects BS to the
CSN
Provide ASN location management and paging
Server for network session and mobility management
Acts as an authenticator and performs Service Flow
Authorization (SFA).
Performs routing (IPv4/IPv6) to selected CSNs.
CSN stands for Communication Service Network
IP address allocation to MS for user sessions.
Policy and QoS management
Subscriber billing and inter-operator settlement.
Inter-CSN tunneling for roaming.
Inter-ASN mobility management.
34. Reference Point
Reference Points are conceptual links that connects two groups of
functions that reside in different functional entities of the ASN, CSN, or
MS – which aims to ensure multi-vendor interoperability.
R1 – implement the air interface specifications between MS and
ASN.
R2 – logical interface between MS and CSN. Used for
authentication, authorization, IP configuration management and
mobility management.
R3 – provide tunneling and transfer of IP data between ASN and
CSN.
R4 – standard interface to enable MS mobility between different
ASN.
R5 – provide a set of protocols for interworking between home and
visited CSN.
R6 – provide a set of protocol for communication between BS and
ASN-GW.
R7 – optional set of control protocols for coordination between
ASN-GW
R8 – enable message flows between BS to ensure fast and
seamless handover.

如果成为IMT-2000,频点价格,2点可能性-大规模应用和频谱价格
For WiMAX there are mainly two frequency:2.5G and 3.5G Hz,
Because of the higher frequency, 3.5G is not suitable for mobile wireless services.
2.5G will be the best choice for mobile WiMAX.
On the other hand, the WiMAX Forum already submitted 2.5G Hz TDD WIMAX into the IMT-2000 family. If this come to truth, the Mobile wimax can share the frequency resource which is allocated to 3G technique. May be the 700Mhz.is one of the choice
Profile B has both BS and ASN-GW as an integrated unit. Profiles A and C are quite similar with the following
exceptions. In profile A, the handover function is in the ASN-GW; in profile C, it is in the BS,
with the ASN-GW performing only the handover relay function. Also, in profile A, the radio
resource controller (RRC) is located in the ASN-GW, allowing for RRM across multiple BSs.
This is similar to the BSC functionality in GSM and allows for better load balancing and spectrum
management across base stations. In profile C, the RRC function is fully contained and distributed
within the BS.
