Compare with present widely used various wireless networks, the WiMax technology has own special advantages.WiFi (Wireless Fidelity, WLAN (wireless local area network)) technology can provide the wireless access speed up to 54Mbps, but its transmission range is very limited, and effective radius is about 100 meters.3G (3rd Generation, third generation digital communication) mobile telephone system can provide boundless transmission range, but its access speed is but very slow.The appearance of WiMax has just remedied this two deficiencies.
As shown in Figure 1, mobile station MS inserts the flow process of WiMax network, specifically may further comprise the steps:
101, MS catches down channel and obtains the up channel parameter, and promptly system descending is synchronous;
102, initial ranging (Ranging) process, MS is by mutual with base station BS, and inclined to one side and frequency deviation is carried out uplink synchronous and is accurately adjusted when constantly adjusting;
103, MS sends SBC-REQ message and consults MS and BS negotiation PKM (Pair-wise Key Management, pairwise key management) protocol version, certification policy to BS to start SBC (SS Basic Capabilities, subscriber station basic capacity);
104, BS sends the AGW (AccessGateway, IAD) of MS_PreAttachment_Req message to its acquiescence, and notice has new MS to enter network;
105, receive new context block of AGW generation of MS_PreAttachment_Req about this MS ID, and to BS response MS_PreAttachment_Rsp message;
106, BS sends SBC-RSP message to the MS that carries out the authentication architecture strategy;
107, BS sends MS_PreAttachment_Ack message to AGW, confirms that SBC-RSP has sent to MS;
108, EAP (Extensible Authentication Protocol, EAP) authorizing procedure comprises that EAP process and three step handshake information are mutual.Main purpose is that AGW tests to the legal identity of MS, finishes the distribution of device authentication and subscription authentication and encrypted material and uses.Message subsequently all can be carried out verification (such as using CMAC (Cipher-based Message AuthenticationCode is based on the message authentication code of ciphertext) to prevent message replay attack);
109, MS carries out the 802.16e registration process, sends REG-REQ message to BS, carries the MS tenability in this message;
110, BS is transmitted to AGW by MS_Attachment_Req message with the EAP authentication result;
111, after AGW receives MS_Attachment_Req message, to BS response MS_Attachment_Rsp message;
112, BS sends REG-RSP message to MS, carries suitable parameter (according to the response of BS strategy or AGW) in the message.When send the decision-making that REG-RSP depends on BS;
113, BS sends MS_Attachment Ack message to AGW, and the MS_Attachment_Rsp message of its transmission of notice AGW receives, and has sent REG-RSP message and triggered the foundation that service flow is preset in the AGW initiation to MS;
114, Business Stream is set up flow process (comprise link set up process Connections Establishment (DSA-REQ/RSP/Ack) and data link is set up process Data Path Establishment (R6)), and MS could begin to obtain IP address and transmitting user data after having only Business Stream to set up to finish.
Traditional mobile cellular network structure as shown in Figure 2, according to IEEE 802.16e agreement, MS is after inserting the WiMax network, the information of all adjacent areas around serving BS Serving BS need dispose, and can come the topology information of radio network by MOB_NBR_ADV message according to the neighbor cell configuration information of system, the situation of contiguous BS and sub-district is provided for MS (Mobile Station, travelling carriage).MS in moving process, with the signal quality of current Serving BS more and more a little less than.In order to satisfy quality of services for users, inevitable requirement MS switches to the better base station of signal quality.MS is according to the adjacent area message that has got access to, can be by one group of scanning of MOB_SCN-REQ message request system assignment time slot, BS can reply the scanning gap information relevant with scanning with other of distributing to MS clearly with MOB_SCN_RSP message, MS can leave current Serving BS according to the content in this message then, remove to scan adjacent area BS, thereby whether the signal quality that obtains adjacent area BS needs to switch and switch on which BS with decision.
According to the development trend of existing network, on the future market a kind of like this application scenarios can appear, as shown in Figure 3.The personal user uses the WiMax technology to realize that microcellulor sub-district (microcell) covers in the home dwelling of oneself, and use WiMax macro cells (macrocell) to guarantee wireless coverage in zone widely, the situation of a large amount of families microcellulor sub-district promptly appears comprising in the macro cells.MS is limited in family microcellulor sub-district and the surrounding area thereof but can move to other microcellulor sub-district, and transregional switching can occur in the frontier district of microcellulor sub-district and macrocellular.
In above-mentioned application scenarios, if still according to original protocol configuration neighboring BS information and transmission neighboring broadcast messages, then owing to comprise a plurality of microcellulors sub-district in a macro cells, will inevitably cause sending in the neighboring broadcast messages of travelling carriage and comprise a large amount of neighboring BS information.Send though can carry out segmentation to neighboring broadcast messages, this all is a great challenge to the bandwidth of air-interface of communication system and the scan process ability of terminal.
