ASN Gateway in a WiMAX Network
In a WiMAX network architecture, each of the entities, Subscriber Station (SS)/Mobile Station (MS), Access Service
Network (ASN) and Connectivity Service Network (CSN) represent a grouping of functional entities.
Each of these functions may be in a single physical device or distributed over multiple physical devices to meet
functional and interoperability requirements. The following figure shows a high-level example of WiMAX network
