The Alcatel WiMAX Solution – An End-to-End IP Architecture
1 Introduction
WiMAX IEEE 802.16e-2005 has become recognized as
one of the key standards for broadband wireless access in
wide-area networks (WANs). With the acceptance of this
standard, Alcatel and other infrastructure suppliers are
today engaged in a vigorous competition that will make
this new technology more robust, as well as more adapted
to today’s service-provider and end-user needs.
Thus far, the bulk of published analysis surrounding
WiMAX has naturally focused on assessing the strengths
and weaknesses of WiMAX radio access networks in
isolation (either the standard generically, or supplier-
specific offers). By contrast, this paper will focus on
the Alcatel WiMAX End-to-End Reference Architecture,
demonstrating how Alcatel’s broad technology portfolio
can complement and enhance its Evolium® WiMAX
Solution, thus optimizing both economic and
performance benefits.
What is WiMAX? Other white papers from Alcatel
and the WiMAX Forum delve into this question in more
technical detail, but WiMAX can be briefly described as:
> a WAN technology, capable of long reach (cell radiuses
measurable in kilometers).
> natively IP.
> broadband, with download bit rates per subscriber
of about 1 to 2 Mb/s.
> designed for mobile, nomadic and fixed services.
As part of its commitment to delivering a complete
portfolio of access solutions, Alcatel is making available
a comprehensive set of WiMAX solutions designed to
provide operators with a cost-effective radio network.
For this reason, Alcatel has sought to identify end-to-end
architectures, alongside its WiMAX product development,
to optimally leverage the access strengths of WiMAX for
comprehensive service and application delivery. Indeed,
as a worldwide leader in telecommunications holding
leading positions in fixed broadband access, optical
transport and service-edge routing — to cite just a few
examples — Alcatel is uniquely positioned to deliver end-
to-end WiMAX solutions.
Benefits of the Alcatel WiMAX solution include:
> Reduced CAPEX and OPEX
> Universal access to data, voice and video provided
through high-speed Internet (HSI) access (individual),
VLAN (corporate/enterprise) and IMS
> Seamless integration of the Alcatel WiMAX access
network into a service provider’s existing infra-
structure, thus preserving infrastructure investments,
as well as ensuring interworking with current and
forthcoming applications
> Scalable solutions in terms of architecture and services
complemented with application delivery platforms
adapted to various service provider profiles (e.g., fixed,
mobile, incumbent, and alternative)
> Secure authentication, authorization and accounting
(AAA)
> Single solution capable of providing both wireless-DSL
(W-DSL) access and mobile broadband services
> End-to-end dynamic QoS (transport and radio)
manageable per subscriber, enabling carrier-grade
real-time sensitive services, such as voice and video.
Among other benefits, Alcatel’s extensive experience and
global presence in fixed and mobile broadband enables
the company to provide cost-conscious operators with
an interlocking and wide array of solutions, services and
applications — from advanced voice services to value-
added data applications, including mobile video (e.g., live
TV, video on demand).
2 Alcatel WiMAX:
A Full IP Architecture
2.1 WIMAX: AN ALL-PURPOSE ACCESS
NETWORK SYSTEM
A WiMAX-based access network permits operators to
benefit from:
> broadband mobile wireless access to complement
existing fixed or mobile infrastructures, and/or a
> seamless services offer across different
infrastructures.
For its part, the Alcatel WiMAX architecture is adaptable
to the needs of diverse operator profiles, including incum-
bent, challenger or greenfield licensees. For operators
with fixed-network assets, it complements the DSL or
cable infrastructure in terms of geographic coverage, or
by extending existing broadband services beyond a fixed
location to “on-the-go” nomadic or mobile usage. For
operators with wireless/mobile networks, WiMAX raises
the possibility of multimode access to services and
applications either via WiMAX wideband or the existing

2G/3G or Wi-Fi infrastructure. Whatever the variant,
the Alcatel solution lets operators provide services and
applications that are:
> Ubiquitous and always-on to enable DSL-like end-user
experience anywhere, anytime
> Reliable to deliver manageable, carrier-grade QoS
mechanisms,
> Secure to provide authentication and control mecha-
nisms to protect the network, while encryption is
employed to safeguard user-data privacy and integrity,
> Seamless to assure multiple access networks share a
common authentication, authorization and accounting
(AAA) platform, while a common NGN/IMS core
makes the networks both user- and application-aware.
The net result is greater convenience and value for
end-users, as well as higher subscriber retention and
cost optimization for operators.
2.2 THE ALCATEL WIMAX END-TO-END
REFERENCE ARCHITECTURE
The WiMAX-based end-to-end architecture is divided into
two main parts: the WiMAX radio access network, as well
as the core network and application part (see Figure 1).
Both parts are linked by clear and standardized interfaces
in order to ensure (a) compatibility with the existing
infrastructure and investment protection, and (b) the flex-
ibility to evolve the network to meet future user needs.
Due to the many elementary building blocks that are
part of the Alcatel portfolio, a key feature of the Alcatel
WiMAX end-to-end solution is its capability of integrating
seamlessly with an existing infrastructure and its adapt-
ability to varying operator requirements. In this respect,
the portfolio can provide either stand-alone radio access
to broadband services or complement existing fixed or
mobile network infrastructures.
2.3 CORE NETWORK ARCHITECTURE OPTIONS
Alcatel has designed several architectures based on WiMAX
in order to meet the specific requirements of different
network operators. Figure 1 identifies three main variants
in the core network, corresponding to the following
requirements:
> Full NGN/IMS integration, with total multimedia
support (I+II+III),
> NGN capabilities supporting QoS for VoIP, in either
complementary or stand-alone networks (I+II),
> Data-access fundamentals, suitable for wholesale
or simple “wireless DSL” type deployments (I only).
2 < A L C AT E L
2.3.1 Full WiMAX integration with IMS and NGN
The Alcatel WiMAX solution allows for a complete
integration of the WiMAX access network into a
fixed (DSL or GPON) or mobile (UMTS or CDMA)
architecture.
In the case of integration with a mobile network, the
proposed solution allows the end user to access services
due to the common authentication and authorization
mechanisms implemented in the fixed or mobile network
part. Specifically, the Alcatel 1430 Home Subscriber
Service (HSS) provides AAA functions in addition to
IMS HSS.
The Alcatel IMS solution’s value proposition can be
summarized as follows:
> Open - Any third party can develop on top of the
Alcatel 5350 IMS Application Server thanks to the
open APIs, which are standards based (SIP Servlet).
> Ready to launch - The Alcatel solution provides an
end-to-end, consistent, and future-proof platform for
introducing user-centric services. Moreover, Alcatel
provides the core, the applications, and the terminal
software. This translates into reduced time-to-market
and opportunities to achieve a competitive advantage.
The services set, which has been developed on top of
the Alcatel 5350 IMS Application Server, includes:
¬ Instant Messaging
¬ Push-to-X (e.g., Push-to-Talk, Push-to-Show,
Push-to-Share)
¬ Presence Server
¬ Group List Management
¬ Video Over IP Calling
¬ Voice Over IP Calling, iFS and advanced services
¬ Conferencing
> Ready for massive VoIP deployment - The Alcatel
IMS solution is designed with carrier-class operational
and performance constraints. Due to the openness of
the Alcatel NGN/IMS portfolio, the system is not only
adaptable to different existing or planned network
technologies but also sufficiently scalable to cope
with operational deployment and subscriber growth.
> Extensible to stay ahead - The IMS solution is open,
modular and extensible to easily integrate new
external services.
> Linked with the operator environment - The IMS
solution integrates with the existing environment, thus
providing operators with access bearer diversity while
ensuring non-IMS and IMS service interoperability.

2.3.2 NGN capabilities supporting QoS for VoIP
One of the key strengths of this architecture is the ability
to provide end users with always-on mobile broadband
IP services. This enables anywhere, anytime continuous
Internet service, with sufficient QoS to support real-time
applications such as VoIP, regardless of terrestrial
displacement. Moreover, where regulatory rules impose,
reduced mobility or fixed service can be provided using
the same architecture, too.
The WiMAX access network can also be stand-alone,
or can be deployed to complement an existing access
infrastructure — be it fixed, mobile, wired or radio based.
> In the stand-alone case, mobility under the WiMAX
coverage provides continuous service access to end
users thanks to WiMAX’s mobile IP features.
> In the case of being associated with other access
networks, WiMAX permits the operator to provide
access to end users irrespective of access technologies
due to the common authentication, authorization and
accounting (AAA) Alcatel platform.
2.3.3 Data-Access Fundamentals
Another advantage of the Alcatel WiMAX architecture
is that it is flexible enough to provide for operators with
less stringent requirements. These include:
> operators that wish, as a first step, to offer WiMAX as
a fixed high-speed Internet solution with no foreseen
need to bring operator-charged services, such as VoIP
or other multimedia applications.
> wholesalers that intend to split the radio-access net-
work among customer ISPs. In this case, the radio and
network infrastructure are shared and managed by the
wholesaler, but subscriber administration/management
and service/application management remain the ISP’s
responsibility.

which can support a mix of TDM and packets with full
packet scalability.
The Alcatel 1850 Transport Service Switch (TSS)
meets this challenge. By using a universal matrix, it is
capable of switching any mix of packets or circuits in
their native format and transporting them in a connection
oriented model to preserve the robustness of the
transport infrastructure. It also maintains the transport
infrastructure’s inherent reliability, availability and
manageability.
3.1.3.2 Service-aware aggregation and routing
MPLS technology is another option for the WiMAX
backhaul network. In fact, most operators have selected
MPLS for their converged backbone networks. By
extending MPLS into their backhaul network, operators
can manage a common protocol end-to-end.
For operators, MPLS is also appealing because of
its relationship with IP and routed networks. MPLS
networks inherit IP’s automation of tasks, such as auto-
discovery of network elements and packet forwarding
decisions. For its part, MPLS enhances IP with carrier-
scale tools for QoS, traffic engineering, troubleshooting
(OAM) and sub-50 millisecond restoration.
Alcatel’s IP/MPLS service router portfolio includes the
Alcatel 7750 and 7710 Service Routers, the Alcatel 7450
Ethernet Services Switch and the Alcatel 5620 Service
Aware Manager. For WiMAX backhaul, Ethernet traffic
can be aggregated using MPLS and transported between
radios and controllers over fiber or microwave facilities.
In the first instance, Ethernet traffic is encapsulated
using pseudo-wires for point-to-point transport as a
virtual leased line.
MPLS standards also define Virtual Private LAN
Service (VPLS). VPLS emulates an Ethernet LAN across
the wide area using MPLS to overcome challenges with
native Ethernet’s stability and control. Moreover, with
VPLS, any-to-any transport services are supported as
required by future flat architectures in which controllers
are eliminated and radios communicate with other radios,
as well as with application-specific gateways.
Finally, a common aggregation network can be used
for WiMAX, together with mobile traffic (2G/3G) and/or
converged triple-play services. The inherent multiservice
capabilities of MPLS combined with Alcatel’s service-
aware portfolio supports differentiated QoS packet-based
services for both residential and enterprise, and pseudo-
wire transport for both legacy TDM and ATM traffic flows.

3.1.3 Backhauling using DSL
With more than 150 million subscribers worldwide, Digital
Subscriber Line (DSL) is the most widely deployed
broadband access technology. Mass-market deployment
has driven the cost down, making DSL one of the most
cost-effective technologies for residential and business
service delivery. To reduce their backhaul expenditures,
operators with the relevant assets are seriously
considering the transport of WiMAX traffic over DSL.
During the past several years, new flavors of DSL,
such as ADSL2plus, E-SHDSL (Enhanced SHDSL) and
VDSL2 with native packet transmission capability have
been developed to cover a broader range of applications
by increasing the attainable bit rate, as well as the reach
over a single copper pair. Bonding techniques have
further increased the bandwidth or reach by aggregating
traffic on multiple copper lines. In this respect, DSL can
cover symmetrical or asymmetrical traffic profiles from a
few kb/s to several tens of Mb/s. It is also well-suited for
urban and dense urban areas where base stations are
located up to 5 km from a central office.
This backhaul scheme is likely to be of particular
interest to integrated operators offering both fixed
and mobile services who have a DSLAM infrastructure
already. Leased-line substitution can already offer
substantial savings depending on the national leased line
and LLU (Local Loop Unbundling) pricing conditions. It
can also enable a future converged fixed-mobile service
offering.
The Alcatel 7302 Intelligent Services Access Manage
(ISAM) is the industry’s first IP-based access platform
capable of delivering 100 percent triple-play services.
By using DSL, operators can prepare for fixed-mobile
convergence while significantly reducing transport costs.

4 The Value of Alcatel

WiMAX-Based Networks
The Alcatel WiMAX solution is designed to fulfill the
needs of every potential service provider and network
operator seeking to deploy broadband wireless services,
be they fixed, nomadic, portable or mobile, or any
combination thereof. It enables them to:
> Complement the coverage of an existing access
infrastructure with a common access control and
authentication in large part due to the to the Alcatel
1430 HSS. In conjunction with IMS HSS for fixed and
mobile operators, the Alcatel 1430 HSS provides the
critical AAA capability.
> Protect the existing investment in network infra-
structure, thanks to a fully IP-based architecture.
Existing and planned Layer 2 and Layer 3 networks
can easily provide the necessary terrestrial means for
interconnecting the WiMAX access network, reducing
deployment and operational costs. In addition,
deployed 2G/3G radio sites are capable of hosting
WiMAX base stations.
> Enter into the market as a greenfield operator with
significantly reduced investment risks, due to a future-
proof IP architecture, as well as compliance with
worldwide standards (e.g., IETF, WiMAX Forum,
3GPP). This compliance also future proofs the initial
investment against the implementation of new features
and services, thus extending applications, increasing
capacity and coverage (scalability), and even enhancing
the network architecture (NGN/IMS).
> Seamlessly bundle broadband wireless services with
existing services to generate new revenue with, for
example, DSL fixed services seamlessly relayed with
WiMAX, when on the move.
