Document numbers WMF-T33-001-R015v01, WMF-T33-103-R015-v02, WMF-T33-104-R015-v02 and WMF-T33-109-R015-v01 were part of this publication, however they have been replaced by a newer version and have been placed the Archived Library.

The WiMAX Forum® Network Architecture - Release 1.5 Version 1 Draft O - Stage 3: Detailed Protocols and Procedures specifies protocol-level details. In some cases, the specification may include significant normative references to standards or other specifications developed outside the WiMAX Forum. This specification is comprised of a suite of documents including the core specification and standalone feature specifications.

The Base specification contains the core protocols.

The Evolution Hooks Annex contains hooks and principles for evolution to ensure forward compatibility.

The IMS specification specifies Interworking of WiMAX Networks with the 3GPP Release 7 and 3GPP2 IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS).

The PCC specification specifies the Policy and Charging Control framework for WiMAX that allows applications like IMS to dynamically request QoS and apply charging attributes for a specified service data flow from the access network where the framework verifies the authorization for the requested QoS. The PCC framework is based on 3GPP Release 7 PCC.

The RoHC specification describes system architecture and signaling procedures for Robust Header Compression (RoHC), and data handling mechanism between RoHC entity peers in WiMAX networks.

The Universal Services Interface (USI) specification is a framework for specifying required WiMAX network interfaces towards trusted third party Internet Application Services Providers.

The OTA General specification incorporates Stage 2 and Stage 3 text for general over-the-air provision and activation procedures in WiMAX networks.

The OTA-OMA-DM specification incorporates Stage 2 and Stage 3 text for Over-The-Air (OTA) Provisioning and Activation based on OMA-DM protocol.

The OTA-TR-069 specification incorporates Stage 3 text for Over-The-Air (OTA) Provisioning and Activation based on the Broadband Forum TR-069 protocols.

The Emergency Services specification describes the framework for WiMAX networks to support emergency services (ES) for WiMAX commercial VoIP services. It provides an overall architectural framework for emergency services handling in WiMAX networks, and specifies all functionality that is required in the ASN/CSN for ES support.

The LBS specification describes Location Based Services for WiMAX networks.

The Lawful Intercept-NALI specification defines the interfaces between a service provider that facilitates WiMAX subscriber access to the Internet or to services provided by a WiMAX Service Provider, and a law enforcement agency, to assist the agency in conducting Lawfully Authorized Electronic Surveillance for subscription-based Internet Access and Services arrangements in Canada and the United States.

The MCBCS-Common specification captures the common technical references, terms and definitions, usage scenarios as well as the system requirements and design principles to support the WiMAX Multicast and Broadcast Services (MCBCS). The MCBCS-DSx specification describes MCBCS services for the WiMAX networks based on DSx signaling as specified in the IEEE 802.16 specification. The MCBCS-Applayer specification describes the Application Layer signaling approach to MCBCS.

The WiMAX-SIM specification defines the WiMAX Subscriber Identity Module (WiMAX-SIM) application on Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) for WiMAX network operation.

Scope

The scope of this document is to specify interwork of WiMAX® Networks with the 3GPP Rel 7 and 3GPP2 IP Multimedia Subsystem (IMS). IMS is an open, standardized multi-media architecture for mobile and fixed IP services originally defined by the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP), and largely adopted by the Third Generation Partnership Project 2 (3GPP2). The IMS is based on standardized IETF protocols (e.g. SIP, DIAMETER, RTP). It is an access independent platform providing services in a standardized way. One of the main purposes of the IMS is to provide different kind of services from any location or access network where the IMS can be reached. In addition, the architecture is designed to allow dynamic QoS selection and flexible charging models (e.g., service-based and flow-based charging).

Abstract

This document provides Stage 2 and Stage 3 specifications for over-the-air (OTA) provisioning and activation based on the OMA DM protocol for Model B WiMAX enabled devices. The WiMAX Over-The-Air General Provisioning System Specification (WMF-T33-103-R016v) describes end-to-end over the air provisioning and activation.

Scope

This document specifies the Policy and Charging Control (PCC) framework for WiMAX®. The PCC framework allows applications like IMS applications to dynamically request QoS and charging attributes for a specified service data flow from the access network where the framework verifies the authorization for the requested QoS.
The PCC framework for WiMAX is based on the Release PCC solution of the Third Generation Partnership Project (3GPP). An online and offline charging is also provided in this document.

Scope

This section describes the phase-1 development of Multicast and Broadcast (MCBCS) services for the WiMAX® network which is fully compliant to IEEE 802.16-Rev2 [3] specification and more importantly, it is fully compliant to the WiMAX Forum TWG Rel-1.0 and the upcoming TWG Rel-1.5 system profiles.
This document refers to the service requirements that are provided by SPWG to specify over the system requirements and stage 2 specifications to support the MCBCS services in WiMAX network. The following summarized the agreed partitioning of the phase-1 and phase-2 development for the support of MCBCS in the WiMAX network.
