PacketMAX Performance – Latency • Latency is as important as net throughput:

• Impacts TCP performance• Necessary for VoIP services• Necessary for TDM emulation (e.g. E1 over WiMAX)

• As for throughput, latency depends on system configuration• Service classes: CBR uses UGS for low jitter; CIR w/ rtPS for non constant bit rate• Frame parameters: the shorter the frame, the lower the latency and throughput

– Up to more than 60 Mbps per channel with 20 MHz channels• ARQ impacts latency and jitter – if application tolerates BER, it can be turned off• PacketMax allows a flexible configuration of all parameters and QoS attributes

• Example:• 2.5 ms frames, 50/50 UL/DL

CBR (UGS) CIR (rtPS)

Latency US: 4 ms, DS: 4 ms

US: 8 ms, DS: 8 ms

Jitter US: 3 ms, DS: 3 ms

US: 5 ms, DS: 5ms

PacketMAX – ServiceQ

• Service Classes: CBR, CIR and Best Effort

• Differentiated Scheduling:– CBR Unsolicited Grant Scheduling– CIR Real Time or Non-Real Time Polling– Best Effort Round Robin

• Up to 19 service flows for intra-QoS– Up to 16 for traffic– Up to 3 for management

• Classifiers at Layer 2, 3 and 4– MAC addresses, VLAN, 802.1p– IP addresses, IP ToS– Port numbers, etc.

Service Flow Application

Classifiers:Selected criteria for matching a Service Flow Classifiers based on Layer 2, Layer 3 and Layer 4 criteria, i.e. by:

Configuration and Management

• Based on 802.16 Provisioning Model:– Configuration files stored on DHCP/TFTP servers– Authorization and access controlled by Base Station

• Configuration & Management Tools:– Web GUI based for simple and flexible system

access– Standard SNMP access to all fault, performance,

accounting and security parameters and statistics– EMS for large scale operations

• Installation Tools and Utilities:– Installation Manager, Status Manager, Provisioning

Manager, Diagnostic Manager– Software Upgrade Manager

• FCAPS model:– Fault Management– Configuration

Management– Performance and

measurements– Security Management

• Hierarchical and tabular presentations– Alarm information– Inventory information

• Graphical representation– Performance data

PacketMAX Overlay to PacketWave

• Overlay Strategy– Backward compatibility is

achieved at the Base Station level

– Each Sector can be served by both Aperto Classic and WiMAX

– Synchronization will eliminate interference issues

Sync

• WiMAX-based Systems will share:

– Same Channel Widths– Same Frame Synchronization– Synchronization between

equipment is supported
