1. Introduction
This contribution proposes the contribution proposes the text to subclause 1.3 Reference Models.
2. Reference Model Proposal
[Add Subclause 1.3 as shown below:]

Figure 2 shows a management reference model of fixed BWA networks. It consists of a network management
system (NMS), managed nodes, and AAA Server service flow database. Managed nodes, such as Base station
(BS), MS, and subscriber station (SS) managed nodes, collect and store the managed objects in the format of
WiressMan Interface MIB (e.g. wmanIfMib) and Device MIB (e.g. wmanDevMib) that are made available to
NMSs via management protocols, such as Simple Network Management Protocol (SNMP). Service flow
database AAA Server contains the service flow and the associated QoS information that have to be populated
to BS and SS when a SS or MS enters into a BS network.

The management information between SS/MS and BS will be carried over the secondary management
connection for managed SS or MS. If the secondary management connection does not exist, the SNMP
messages, or other management protocol messages, may go through another interface in the customer premise
or on a transport connection over the air interface.
