8 WMF-T-0-v0. Use Cases (Informative). Use Case - Subscriber Device Synchronization.. Short Description Bob, a subscriber of MAX and FMAX (Femto service from MAX), uses various WiMAX embedded devices such as laptop PC, tablet and smartphone. Bob synchronizes data from his laptop PC to tablet and smartphone when all of his WiMAX enabled devices are being served by his WFAP. 0.. Actors Bob Subscriber of WiMAX operator MAX and WiMAX Femtocell service FMAX... Pre-conditions Laptop PC, tablet and smartphone have WiMAX modem embedded. All devices are located within range of FMAX WFAP. Each device has a certain shared folder which can be shared with various devices. Data files to be synchronized should be located in the shared folder... Post-conditions - After devices finish their data synchronizations, different billing schemes may be applied for the uploaded/downloaded data. of

9 WMF-T-0-v0.. Normal Flow - WiMAX subscriber Bob copies data files to the shared folder of his laptop which is connected to MAX (macro network) getting ready to share these data files with other user devices. - Bob activates his tablet and finds out from the screen that some data files are ready to be downloaded into the shared folder. - Bob executes the command to download data files into shared folder. - WiMAX network MAX checks user credentials After user authentication is done, MAX checks if both sender and receiver are located within the same BS/WFAP. - Since the laptop is connected to MAX but located within the coverage of FMAX, MAX forces the laptop to handover to FMAX. - Once FMAX realizes that both sender and receiver are connected to the same WFAP, FMAX authorizes routing the data locally via WFAP. - Bob acknowledges that his devices are being synchronized within WFAP. 0- After download has been completed, Bob may be informed that a reduced rate has been applied for the locally routed data usage of

10 WMF-T-0-v0.. Alternative Flow - WiMAX subscriber Bob copies data files to the shared folder on his laptop getting ready to share these data files with other user devices. - Bob activates his tablet and finds out from the screen that some data files are ready to be downloaded into the shared folder. - Bob executes command to download data files into shared folder. - WiMAX network MAX checks user credentials. - After user authentication is done, MAX checks if both sender and receiver are located within the same BS/WFAP. 0 - When MAX acknowledges that both sender and receiver are located within the same BS, MAX authorizes the BS to route traffic between the sender and receiver locally. - Bob acknowledges that his devices are being synchronized within MAX BS. - After download has been completed, Bob may be informed that a reduced rate has been applied for the locally routed data usage.. Use Case - Private VoIP.. Short Description 0 Bob, a doctor at a university hospital is equipped with a WiMAX VoIP multimode smartphone which allows internal WiMAX VoIP calls within the hospital and external calls using other networks (e.g. CDMA, WCDMA). Bob uses this phone for calls within the hospital between doctors and nurses. Bob s hospital is a BB subscriber of WiMAX operator MAX which includes free VoIP calls within the hospital... Actors Bob, receptionist users of WiMAX VoIP service from WiMAX operator MAX. 0 of

11 WMF-T-0-v0.. Pre-conditions Bob and the receptionist s WiMAX smartphones support WVS (WiMAX VoIP Services). Smartphones located within the hospital can use VoIP services provided by MAX. All hospital employees are equipped with a WiMAX smartphone. The Hospital is covered by Pico-BS which covers only within Hospital property. Pico-BS also supports WVS... Post-conditions Private VoIP service is not available outside the hospital. For a VoIP call made to user not locally routable, a reduced rate cannot be applied. of

12 WMF-T-0-v0.. Normal Flow. WiMAX smartphone user Bob needs to check his appointment schedule and calls to the Hospital receptionist to find out the schedule.. Bob initiates a call to the receptionist who is also equipped with a WiMAX smartphone.. WiMAX network MAX checks user credentials.. After user authentication is done, MAX checks if both caller and receiver are located within the Hospital.. When MAX finds out that both caller and receiver are located within the hospital, MAX authorize the BS to route traffic between the sender and receiver locally. 0. Bob is aware that his VoIP call is free of charge (for locally routable calls within the Hospital).. Bob terminates the call after checking his appointment schedule... Alternative Flow - WiMAX smartphone user Bob needs to check his appointment schedule and calls to the Hospital receptionist to find out his schedule. - Bob initiates a call to the receptionist who is also equipped with a WiMAX smartphone. - WiMAX network MAX checks user credentials. 0 - After user authentication is done, MAX checks if both caller and receiver are located within the Hospital. - When MAX finds out that only the caller is located within the Hospital, MAX terminates the call and informs caller that this call cannot be locally routed via Pico-BS. of

13 WMF-T-0-v0 - Bob makes the call using other available networks (e.g. EVDO, WCDMA, WiMAX, etc.). Note; In this case, WiMAX coverage is provided by public macro Base Stations. of

14 WMF-T-0-v0. Requirements (Conditional Normative) The following sections describe a list of requirements to support the WiMAX BS/WFAP Local Routing feature. It should be noted that this feature is an optional one for the network, but if supported, these requirements define the expected behavior. Note that all subsections in this section are conditional normative unless stated otherwise. 0 Normative requirements of [] apply to WiMAX BS/WFAP Local Routing, except when explicitly stated otherwise in the requirements below. Requirements for WiMAX BS/WFAP Local Routing are intended to be part of WiMAX network releases beyond Release.0 and it should be compatible with WiMAX Network releases before the availability of the BS/WFAP Local Routing feature.

15 WMF-T-0-v0. Policy Control Requirements R -[0] The BS/WFAP Local Routing Policy SHALL be under the home NSP control. R -[0] In case of roaming, the visited network SHALL be able to restrict BS/WFAP local routing (eg. when one of the parties of the connection is currently the Subject of LI) even if BS/WFAP local routing is allowed by the home network. R -[0] The WiMAX Network SHALL support BS/WFAP Local Routing Policy transfer from NSP to NAP. R -[0] The WiMAX Network SHALL support BS/WFAP Local Routing with per-service flow granularity. 0 R -[] The decision to enable BS/WFAP Local Routing on a particular service flow SHALL be based on operator policy (e.g., type of traffic, lawful intercept status) Note: An operator can enable or disable local routing for all the service flows in a network. R -[] The BS/WFAP Local Routing performed by the operator SHOULD follow the service flow based policy (e.g., PCC []). Service Flow and QoS Requirements R -[] The WiMAX Network SHOULD have the ability of reconfiguring a service flow to enable/disable BS/WFAP Local Routing after handover within the same ASN-GW. 0 Note: This handover requirement does not mandate providing session continuity at the network layer.

17 WMF-T-0-v0. Regulatory Requirements.. United States Country Lawful Intercept Requirements Lawful Interception is always done in accordance with the applicable national/regional laws and technical regulations. 0 The requirements in this section address BS/WFAP Local Routing of communications subject to Lawful Interception. The requirements in this section apply both to traffic that is routed to another user attached to the same WFAP or BS (i.e., traffic undergoing local routing) and to traffic that is diverted to another service provider, such as an internet service provider, at the WFAP or BS (i.e., traffic undergoing local breakout). These requirements are in addition to other Lawful Interception requirements that may exist for the particular service to which BS/WFAP Local Routing is applied (e.g., broadband access, VoIP). R -[] WiMAX BS/WFAP Local Routing implementation SHALL comply with the Lawful Intercept requirements of []. Editors note; reference is SPWG rel. requirements doc. R -[] The WiMAX network SHALL provide a capability to ensure that communications being intercepted prior to the invocation of BS/WFAP Local Routing continue to be intercepted by the WiMAX network after the invocation of BS/WFAP Local Routing. 0 R -[] The WiMAX network SHALL support a toggle to enable or disable the capability defined in R- [] for WFAP Local Routing on a per intercept order basis. This toggle shall be usable at both the time of delivery of the intercept order and at any subsequent time during the period the intercept order is active. Enabling or disabling the capability defined in R-[] (i.e., the setting of the toggle) is based on input from the Law Enforcement Agency at the time the intercept order is delivered to the WiMAX service provider or at a subsequent time during the period the intercept order is active. The default value of the toggle SHALL be to enable the capability defined in R- []. R [] After invocation of BS/WFAP Local Routing, the WiMAX network SHALL continue to report Communication Content (CmC) and Communication Identifying Information (CmII) if authorized by the intercept order. R [] After invocation of BS/WFAP Local Routing, the WiMAX network SHALL continue to report only CmII, if only CmII is authorized by the intercept order. 0 Note: national or regional laws and technical regulations, if they exist, will apply (e.g., In the Matter of Communications Assistance for Law Enforcement Act, Third Report and Order, CC Docket No. -, FCC Record ()). of

18 WMF-T-0-v0 R [] When intercept data (i.e., CmII only or CmII and CmC) is reported both before and after the invocation of BS/WFAP Local Routing, the WiMAX network SHALL correlate the intercept data reported before BS/WFAP Local Routing with the intercept data reported after BS/WFAP Local Routing invocation. R [0] For the traffic that is subject to Lawful intercept, the WiMAX network SHALL report the invocation of BS/WFAP Local Routing when the invocation BS/WFAP results in the WiMAX network no longer being able to report all CmII and CmC, or all CmII as per the lawful authorization. 0 Note: Invocation reporting SHALL include identification of the network containing the Local Routing Point. Note: If the invocation of BS/WFAP Local Routing is transparent to the Collection Function (i.e., the WiMAX network continues to report the same intercept data before and after BS/WFAP Local Routing invocation and there is no change in the Delivery Function reporting of the intercept data) then the WiMAX network is not required to report that invocation of BS/WFAP Local Routing. R [] Accessing and reporting information on the invocation of BS/WFAP Local Routing and the network containing the BS/WFAP Local Routing Point SHOULD be consistent with national/regional laws and technical regulations that may exist related to the completeness and unobtrusiveness of the intercept.. Guidance and Recommendation to other WiMAX WGs 0 The BS/WFAP Local Routing feature SHALL not have any impact or add any new requirement on the air interface. BS/WFAP Local Routing functionality SHALL not have any impact on the MS. of
