Requirements for NETLMMProtocol: 802.16e Mobile BWA* Perspective Prakash Iyer Perviz Yegani 63rd IETF, Paris NETLMM BOF BWA – Broadband Wireless Access
WiMAX/802.16e Mobile BWA • Mobile WiMAX (based on 802.16-2004 amended by 802.16e) is an emerging standard for broadband, wide-area wireless access • Optimized for IP services • Usage will be characterized by • High average/peak data rates to subscriber terminals compared to traditional 3G networks • Mix of audio, video, data and voice applications • Symmetric and asymmetric UL and DL traffic, real-time and non-real-time • Mobility rates exceeding 200 km/hr while satisfying ITU-T and other benchmarks for low handover packet loss, latency, jitter and delay • Need to support low power modes
Mobile WiMAX – E2E Architecture Perspective BS All-IP Access Service Network (ASN) Applications Service Network • Mobility Management Requirements: • Need two-level MM hierarchy • ‘Make-Before-Break’ HO within and across ASN – could eliminate need for complex over-the-air MM primitives • Client to remote CSN HO could be delayed and seamless over ASN anchored paths • Must support notion of separate Network Access (ASN) Provider – NAP and Network Service (CSN) Provider - NSP i.e. different security domains • Seamless integration between localized and E2E MM protocols IP Connectivity Service Network (CSN) BS BS All-IP Access Service Network (ASN) INTERNET BS
Mobile WiMAX – ASN Variants BS To CSN BS + Router To CSN IP Cloud IP Cloud • Mobility Management Requirements: • Must accommodate Flat and Hierarchical ASN topologies – and variants thereof • Must support multi-hop relay among BSs • Must support multi-path configurations among BSs • Eliminate need for signaling from client to ASN for intra/inter ASN MM • Ideal scenario is network-based MM both within/across ASN and end-to-end • Must work irrespective of client connectivity state – Active, Idle • Client IP reachability in all power states with configurable location anonymity • IPv4 and IPv6 • Eliminate / reduce need to simulcast within ASN for duration of HO – prevent backhaul BW wastage especially for wireless backhaul Anchor Router / Gateway BS + Router BS ASN
Multi-Access Support BS WiMAX ASN Applications Service Network • Mobility Management Requirements: • Seamless client-transparent inter-technology ASN HOs and anchoring across ASNs BS IP Connectivity Service Network (CSN) BS Beyond 3G Evolved ASN INTERNET BS
Summary • Traditional E2E IP MM protocols (e.g. MIP) are not adequate for needs of MBWA and Next-Gen multi-access wide-area networks • Need for a localized MM protocol • Optimized for handover performance of different application classes, client power-management states and IP reachability • Support • Unbundled provider domains • ASN topology variants • Heterogeneous access networks integrated via common IP core
