Authentication process on mobile broadband service

While making a session on mobile broadband service, server will check whether the parameters sent by session from mobile broadband subscriber has meet the condition or not. AAA server will reject the session if it does not meet the condition and allowing to the next process if the authentication process is pass. TheAuthentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) call process of mobile broadband session is running on the application layer, mobile broadband subscriber did not aware about the process. Mobile broadband subscriber needs only to make a session while they want to access to internet

The Authentication, Authorization and Accounting (AAA) servers

The two terms of wireless or mobile internet services related to how subscriber will be permitted to access internet and how they will be charged are Authentication and Accounting functions. One more function that still important is Authorization process but at this time I will leave the last function. We can say that Public Data Serving Node (PDSN) does not do the entire of data processing but it will send requests to another network element. The functions related to the Authentication, Authorization and Accounting, PDSN will send requests to the

PDSN: The Central processing of Data Service

When subscriber makes a dial session to have data service (wireless or mobile broadband internet service) on the CDMA platform, the first stage it will go through the telecommunication system such as BTS, BSC and MSC. Mobile Switching (MSC) will indicate that it is a data service session than MSC will forward the request to the Public Data Serving Node (PDSN). PDSN is the central processing of data service on the CDMA platform. In term of voice session it has the same function as MSC meanwhile SMS service, it is like Short Messaging Service Centre (SMSC).

Failure points of wireless internet services

Wireless or mobile broadband internet service such as CDMA1x, GPRS, 3G or EVDO will have unstable connection. More subscribers they have, more often they will experience an unstable connection. The root cause of this problem could be anywhere depends on the capacity and occupancy of the network infrastructures. Generally, the point where wireless or mobile broadband internet service gets unstable connection could be;

  1. Base Transceiver Station (BTS) capacity
  2. Link utilization
  3. International bandwidth capacity

While subscriber makes a data service on mobile broadband internet service session

Tracing the network problem of BREW services

As BREW service on mobile internet service is implemented to the low-end handset/mobile phone, it means that there will be a less memory allocated on the mobile phone to download an application from the BREW servers. The good news is BREW clients (mobile phone) on the mobile internet service only need a few RF resources as well while they try to access and download the contents from the BREW server. BREW services need less RF capacity than another same service such as WAP or wireless or mobile internet services. In addition, services, WAP and wireless internet services need bigger RF capacity than voice and messaging (SMS) services

Although BREW services need a less RF capacity but sometime session will also retrieve error message that could be from any network element. BREW client will generate error such as
