'''==WiMAX Network Reference Model''':== '''Access Service network(ASN)''': The ASN coordinates traffic across multiple Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) and supports security, handoffs and Quality of Service (QoS). ** The ASN interfaces the BTS and the all-IP core network—the CSN. Typically the ASN includes numerous BTSs with one or more ASN gateways. ** The ASN manages radio resources, MS access, mobility, security and QoS. It acts as a relay for the CSN for IP address allocation and AAA functions.
