High Density BTSHigh Density BTS

Redline helps operators deliver high capacity, high availability, massively scalable Residential & Portable

broadband services.

Benefit What this means Enabled by

High Capacity

Cell radius of ~1 km for indoor CPE deployment. Over 500+ subscribers supported per sector, thus reducing the cost per subscriber.

AN-100UX

High Availability

Always on service with high availability network.If one sector fails, users connect to another sector.

SU frequency scanning

Massively scalable

Scalable deployment model with subscriber self-install.Automated service activation & provisioning.Full featured, cost effective CPEs.

OFDMA – The NumbersOFDMA – The Numbers

OFDMA achieves additional gain in the uplink Optional part of IEEE802.16-2004 (not mandatory)

Mapping Service FlowsMapping Service Flows

WiMAX Service Flows are set up as per the service contract…

BTS

rtPS: G729 Voice (8 Kbps)

rtPS: G729 Voice (8 Kbps)nrtPS: 2048 x 512 Data

But how does the radio know which service flow/classifier goes to which device? And what are the QoS requirements of each??


rt-PS: G729 Voice (8 Kbps)

rt-PS: G729 Voice (8 Kbps)nrt-PS: Data Service Flow: VLAN10

DHCP Option-82DHCP Option-82

This is done by setting up V-LANs directly to the devices and mapping the WiMAX Service Flows to these V-LANs.

BTS

Option 82 also allows the service provider to enforce hardware policies.

QoS can be allowed only through authorized Carrier devices.
