Outline
• Objective
• Priority access requirements
• 802.16m system architecture to support
priority access
Objective
Objective
• Priority access is one of the important requirements for Emergency
Telecommunications Service (ETS)*
• IEEE 802.16m has requirements on priority for the government and public
safety
– Section 5.8 of IEEE 802.16m-07/002r4
• “IEEE 802.16m shall be able to support public safety first responders, military and
emergency services such as call-prioritization, preemption, push-to-talk”
• “Priority access” is a SPWG requirement in Mobile WiMAX
– In Release 1.5**, “R-[193] The WIMAX network SHALL provide high priority
for special circumstances such as emergency services and deadlock situations.
Such high priority SHALL be protected with appropriate additional levels of
authentication.”
• Priority access is required for National Security and Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP)
users.
• This contribution presents 1) more detailed ETS requirements, specially in the
area of priority access and 2) system architecture to support priority access to
be considered by 802.16m

Priority Access Requirements
Background on DHS Priority Access*
• Priority access service is intended to facilitate emergency
response and recovery operations in response to natural and
man-made disasters and events, such as floods, earthquakes,
hurricanes, and terrorist attacks. Priority access service is also
intended to support both national and international emergency
communications. Priority access service is based upon, and
complies with, the FCC Second Report and Order (R&O) 00242 (Wireless Telecommunications (WT) Docket No. 96-86).
Priority access service is intended to allow qualified and
authorized National Security and Emergency Preparedness
(NS/EP) users to obtain priority access to radio traffic channels
and core network resources during situations when
Commercial Mobile Radio Service (CMRS) provider network
congestion is blocking call attempts

Document, Version 0.3, April 2005
Background on Emergency Telecommunications
Service (ETS)
• “Emergency Telecommunications Service: A telecommunications service
offering available on public communications networks that facilitates the
work of authorized emergency personnel in times of disaster, national
emergency, or for executive/governmental communications relating to
National Security / Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP).”*

Other Associated Requirements
• Ubiquitous Services:
– Able to make a call/session in times of disaster, national emergency, or for
executive/governmental communications relating to National Security /
Emergency Preparedness (NS/EP).
– It applies to voice, video, and data services
• Availability:
– It is available to NS/EP users at all times.
• QoS
– End-to-end QoS should be provided based on 802.16e QoS classes and
parameters
• Security
– “Networks must have protection against corruption and intrusion such as
unauthorized access, control and traffic”*
• Priority treatment
– “ETS communications should be provided preferential end-to-end treatment so
that higher communication session completion rates, as compared with public
communication session completion rates, would be successfully achieved”*

Service Scenarios
• Scenario 1: Mobile originating call
– Authorized user initiates a voice, data or video call
to any party using 802.16m technology
• Scenario 2: Mobile terminating call
– Authorized user calls another authorized user
reachable using 802.16m technology
Scenarios are presented to develop the requirements and technical solutions for priority access.

Congestion Points
• Over the air
– Contention-based*
• Bandwidth request and initial ranging
– Allocation-based
• OFDMA capacity
Focus of this presentation
• Core network
– ASN gateway
– CSN
Instead of using contention-based technique, allocation-based technique may be required for priority users.
Admission Control and Priority Treatment
•
The priority access requirement manifests itself in two functionalities: 1)
admission control and 2) priority treatment of the request once admitted
Admission control is implementation specific, and should not be discussed
in standards
•
–
However, how to identify the authorized user and the user’s requested services
(i.e., convey the priority access indicator to 802.16m networks) should be
standardized
1.
2.
SIM-based (802.16 needs to support this type of application) [x]
Subscriber MAC address based* combined with User ID and/or Device ID []
•
3.
This is to identify authorized user
Feature based (prefix dialing-digits for voice calls and SIP-based for data calls) []
•
4.
This is to indicate priority access service
Priority information encoded in IP or Ethernet headers* [] (but priority is either
mapped to layer 2 SFID or new traffic type field in the MAC header)
•
This is to indicate priority access service
•
5.
–
•
For example: IP Type of Services (TOS) field based
The Access Control List (ACL) should be either statically or dynamically provisioned
on the edge devices (BS or ANS-GW) []
Capacity reservation scheme for authorized users should be explored
Priority treatment is done first by mapping the priority access indicator to
the pre-provisioned Service Flow ID (SFID).
*Authorized user identify needs to be authenticated. Security protection of transfer of MAC address and IP header becomes important.
Network Entry – An Example of Using MAC
Address as Priority Indicator
• The following are the steps in
network entry (802.16e)
– Scanning
– Obtaining parameters
– Initial ranging
• The first time (unprotected) Subscriber MAC address
is conveyed to the 802.16m BS
–
–
–
–
–
Exchanging capabilities • The MAC address (with user ID/device ID )are
passed to the 802.16m network during authentication.
Authentication
The authorized user is authenticated in the 802.16m
network during the authentication step.
Registration
IP connectivity
• The priority access indicator is
Creating transport connection
passed to the network at the adding
(Adding service)
service step. Their QoS is mapped
to the corresponding SFID.
Security – Authentication
• Authentication
– Standard shall support Mutual Authentication for the
assurance of mutual trusts between subscriber devices and
the authenticator
– Authentication method could vary from RSA X.509, EAP,
SIM based or the combinations
– ‘Rapid’ Authentication/Re-authentication that reduces the
performance implication for mobile applications, such as
Handoff
– For priority access, edge devices (BS or ASN-GW) should
have the capability to run the subset of AAA function
which can validate the subscriber/devices at local premise
Security – Confidentiality and Integrity
Protection of Prioritized Traffic
• Confidentiality and Integrity Protection
– All traffic (Management and Subscriber Data)
Shall be protected either by encryption (by session
keys) or MAC (Message Authentication Code)
– For prioritized traffic, MAC is mandated,
encryption is optional
– Sensitive prioritized traffic has to be encrypted
with strong session keys
Authentication Step
• The Subscriber MAC address (combined with
user ID/device ID) for authorized priority users
can be pre-provisioned, and stored in the
Home Agent database.
Adding Service Step
• For scenario 1, the feature-based indicator
allows the BS to allocate pre-provisioned
service for authorized users, and map the
service to the corresponding SFID
• For scenario 2, the Ethernet or IP TOS
achieves the same effect.
Priority Treatment
• Out of the five 802.16e QoS classes, the following four are considered
appropriate for priority access services (UGS, rtps, Ertps, and nrtps).
Within each QoS class, authorized user can get non-preempted
preferential treatment for their traffic in the network
– One example is to perform priority treatment via queuing and scheduling;
authorized user has their request in the front of the queue.
• Within the authorized users, there are multiple sub-priority levels. The subpriority level and the request arrival time determine the queue position
• The queuing and scheduling would be implementation specific, but their
behavior should be measurable. Also, it is envisioned that a priority
resource allocation technique will be “recommended” for each of the
QoS classes
– The “recommended” priority resource allocation technique will be presented
in future sessions.

Deployment Timing
• DHS/NCS would like to have the priority
access service available for NS/EP community
whenever and wherever Mobile WiMAX
service is available
Conclusion
• We have presented requirements on priority access
from ETS view point
• We have provided a system architecture that supports
these services and requirements
• We would like this concept to be considered by
802.16m
• We are looking for others to collaborate on this
concept with. If you are interested, please contact us.
