The network of-support network services provider (NSP:Network Service Provider) is found and is selected
-be MSS dynamic assignment IP address
-RRM
Except above-mentioned functions, can also comprise (non-essential function):
Switch between the BS in the-ASN
-MSS paging and location management
Tunnel management between the-ASN-CSN is equivalent to the external agent (FA:Foreign Agent) in the mobile IP technology
Authentication agent between the-ASN-CSN (Authentication Proxy)
The registration of-vision location
CSN:CSN is defined as to the WiMAX terminal IP is provided Connection Service.CSN mainly provides following function:
The IP address assignment of-MSS
-Internet inserts
-AAA (mandate, checking (power mirror) and charging: Authorization, Authentication andAccounting Server) acts on behalf of (proxy) or aaa server (server)

MSS:MSS is a mobile subscriber equipment, and the user uses this devices accessing WiMAX network.
In the prior art, MSS inserts BS by the R1 interface.AAA client on the BS is initiated authorizing procedure by the agency of the AAA on the ASN-GW server to aaa server.After aaa server authenticated, authorizes MSS, MSS can initiate to carry out transfer of data based on the session of QoS.The data of MSS are transferred to Internet by HA at last earlier by the R1 interface between MSS and the BS, again by R6 interface between BS and the ASN-GW and the Interface R3 between ASN-GW and the HA.In session at first, Accounting Client can notify the charging processing module session on the aaa server to begin, and begins to charge.When MSS or network side initiation termination session, Accounting Client can be notified the conversation end of the charging processing module on the aaa server, and reports the charge information of this MSS.Charge information mainly comprises the information such as QoS when relevant authentication of the time span, data traffic size, session of session and authentication information and session are set up.
The billing structure that defines among the WiMAX agreement NWG-STAGE3 is as shown in Figure 1:
The prepayment client that is positioned at ASN among the figure to the prepaid server report of user information that is positioned at CSN, receives the charging amount that prepaid server issues when prepaid user's initiation session, and reports the charging amount to use information to prepaid server.When the user used up expense, prepaid server can send instructions to prepayment client down, required to interrupt user conversation.Prepayment client can stop the session that the user is using after receiving this instruction.
In WiMAX agreement NWG-STAGE2, described after the prepaid user uses up telephone expenses, to suspend active user's business, and the business on the MSS is redirected to pre-payment hot line (Hot-lining) technology of supplementing server with money, this technology specifically describes as follows:
1. after MSS user used up the telephone expenses that prestore, the pre-payment hot line equipment of ASN (perhaps CSN) suspended the business that this user is using, and preserved user's current business information, with user's session redirection to prepayment service equipment.
2. supplement with money server and the MSS on the pre-payment hot line equipment carries out pre-payment mutual (for example, showing the prepaying charge page on the browser on user's the MSS).
3. if the user finishes within a certain period of time and supplements operation with money, then the pre-payment hot line equipment user of pre-payment hot line equipment notice ASN (perhaps CSN) supplements with money and finishes, the pre-payment hot line equipment of ASN (perhaps CSN) recovers the original session of user, and allows the user continue to use professional.
If the user does not finish in the regular hour and supplements operation with money, then the pre-payment hot line equipment of pre-payment hot line equipment notice ASN (perhaps CSN) cuts off customer service.The pre-payment hot line device shutdown user conversation business of ASN (perhaps CSN).
In pre-payment hot line technology, after the prepaid user uses up expense, pre-payment hot line application entity will be suspended the current business of user, and the browser on user's MSS sends the prepaying charge page.This interruption customer service and the mode of reminding the user to supplement with money will use WiMAX to produce harmful effect to the user, especially when the user carries out key activities, suspend customer service and may bring loss to the user.When the user uses business without single devotion, interrupt the professional of user suddenly and show supplementing the page with money, will inevitably bring negative experience may to the user, and increase user's resentment.
