Network: Interworking Specifications (T37)
Network: Interworking Specifications (T37)
Abstract
3GPP specifies how interworking with non-3GPP IP access networks (such as WiMAX ASNs) shall take place. Within the 3GPP Release 7 set of specifications, interworking with WLAN networks is specified in [TS23.234] and
5 [T33.234] for security.
In this document WiMAX-3GPP interworking is specified based on the I-WLAN architecture described in [TS23.234] and [T33.234] by 3GPP. The solution covers both Direct IP access and 3GPP IP access scenarios.
This solution does not modify [TS23.234] and [TS33.234] in any way, but builds on top of it by providing missing interworking functionality from the WiMAX perspective, within the WiMAX CSN. The motivation for this is to make available an interworking solution in the time frame of the WiMAX Stage 2/3 Release 1.0.0 architecture as well as the 3GPP Release 7 timeframe that is focused on Direct IP access and 3GPP IP access scenarios.
It is understood that for future releases, a more advanced and integrated 1 interworking solution between WiMAX networks and 3GPP networks is under development as part of the 3GPP SAE (system architecture 3 evolution) effort. The interworking solution specified in this document does not limit such future architectures.

Abstract
WiMAX-3GPP2 interworking refers to the integration of a WiMAX access network to an existing 3GPP2 core network infrastructure. The WiMAX Forum® Network Architecture - Release 1.0 Version 3: WiMAX - 3GPP2 Interworking specification specifies the loosely coupled method of interworking between WiMAX systems and CDMA2000 systems. This architecture is applicable to an operator that owns both access technologies and provisions its users with a dual mode device (dual radios) that can connect to the core network through any one of the two technologies.
