A novel design of Northbound Interface for WiMAX network management system

Based on the analysis and comparison of normal network management protocols, which mean SNMP, CORBA and Web services, a novel scheme of Northbound Interface according to JMS specification is proposed in WiMAX network management systems. Detailed procedures and functional entities are designed in this paper. It is proved that the design is markedly superior to other choices, as it can enhance the performance of WiMAX network management system. With the extension of global operation for WiMAX, the design proposed is expected to be applied and implemented in the WiMAX network management system.
