The R3 or R3 – f reference point can be used between a safety gateway and an AM servo (such as an ultra-miniature AAA feeder). In some embodiments, the security gateway is co-located with the pico. In some embodiments, the security gateway is an independent individual. In a separate configuration, the security gateway is placed in a different location than the subminiature GW. Therefore, the wireless communication system can provide an interface between the security gateway and the ultra-miniature FW, such as an open interface or a closed interface. Such an interface may include an AAA interface based on an AAA protocol (e.g., RADIUS or Diameter). The security gateway can terminate the IPsec channel for WFAP. The safety gate filters the unauthorised flow (t r a f f i c) between the safety gate and the wfap. The security gateway provides WFAP access control to the network. The secure communication path may provide a path for at least one communication path (eg, the control plane and the bearer plane), such as the s〇N traffic of the communication path described by the R6-F reference point and the communication path as described, for example, by the Rson reference point. . The security gateway can verify the correct source I ρ from the data packet of the WFAP through the R6_F test. The security gateway encrypts the data between the WFAP and the security gateway. The safety channel provides integrity protection. The wireless communication system can include a gateway, such as an ultra-mini GW. Ultra-miniatures can exist in ASNs that support ultra-micro base stations. In some embodiments 12 201134283, the AMD 3L GW疋NRM is used to support individual gateways of WFAp. The ultra-fine (10) may have the same functional set provided by the giant GW and additional functionality defined for the specific operation of the pico base station. The R4/R4 + reference point is used between the subminiature GWs. The R4 reference point is used between the ultra-micro u and the lake (four). The R-6 and R6-F reference points are used to match between the subminiatures (4). In a real yoke example, the R6 and R6-F traffic (including the control panel and data panel) is transmitted from the WFAP to the pico GW via a secure idle channel. In some embodiments, the femto GW and the ASN-GW may be in the same #. Some embodiments may = terminate R6-F initiated from WFAP. In some embodiments the subminiature gw 疋 has asn_gw for additional functionality of the pico base station access point. Wireless communication systems may include ultra-miniature AAA. The ultra-fine AAA belonging to the ultra-mini NSP can exist in the ultra-mini mn operated by the ultra-mini Nsp. The R5 reference point is used between the AM for access control at WFAp and the AAA for wireless devices. In some embodiments, the pico MA and the AAA server for the wireless device can be the same device. For example, the ultra-mini AAA can provide authentication and/or authorization for WFAP. If the Pico AAA does not verify the WFAP, the security channel can be responsible for the verification of ^ρ. The reference point R1 may include an agreement and procedure between the wireless device and the ASN of each of the null intermediaries (e.g., PHY and MAC) specifications (e.g., IEEE p8 〇 216e_2 〇〇 5 and ieee P802.1 6-2004). The reference point R3 may include a control plane agreement and a bearer plane agreement to support AAA and to convey user data between the ASN and the CSN.

The reference point R4 may include a control plane agreement and bearer plane agreement of the various functional entities 13 201134283 originally/terminating in the ASN to coordinate the mobility of ms between the different ASNs and the pico GW and between the pico GWs. If interoperability with the mega network is required, the femto GW can connect to the jumbo ASN-GW via R4. The R4/R4 + reference point is used between the pico GWs. The R4 reference point is used between the pico GW and the ASN-GW. The reference point R6-F may include a control plane and a bearing plane for communication between the WFAP and the pico GW. The reference point R6_F can support the specific functions of the pico base station and the existing functions of the R6. In some embodiments, all control and bearer plane traffic through R6-F will be transmitted through the IPsec channel between the WFAP and the security gateway. The reference point R3-F may include a control plane and management plane agreement to support the management, authorization, and authentication of WFAP between WFAP and other individuals in the pico-NSP (e.g., ultra-miniature and management systems). Additional functions (such as s〇N) can be added to R3-F. In some embodiments, communication between the WFAP and the s〇N is through the management system. In some embodiments, R3_F provides a control panel. In some embodiments, R3_F provides a control plane and a management plane. The wireless communication system can include multiple ASNs that support WFAP. If the other ASNs also include the pico GW, there may be an R3-F reference point between the ASN itself and the CSN including the pico AAA. The reference point Rs may include an agreement to establish an ipsex channel using an internet key exchange version two (Ev2) machine fj between the WFAP and the security gateway. The reference point k can be used to transfer R6_F control and bearer traffic between the WFAP and the pico GW. Reference point R4 can be used between CSNs of the Pico NSP, including 14 201134283 Ultra Micro AAA and CSN. Reference point, m
