FUTURE OF WIMAX
What is WIMAX?
THINK OF INTERNET
Broadband access
Uses DSL or cable modem at home and
T1 or T3 line at office
WIFI
Uses WIFI routers at home and hotspots
on the road
Dial Up Connection
NEW TECHNOLOGY
1)
2)
WIMAX TOWER
WIMAX RECEIVER
MODES OF OPERATION
Non-Line of sight
Uses a lower frequency range.
Line of sight
Uses a higher frequency range.
WIMAX Scenario
WIMAX Scenario
The user would pay the provider monthly fee for using
the service. The cost for this service could be much
lower than current high-speed Internet-subscription fees
because the provider never had to run cables
WIMAX CHIPS
WiMAX Mini-PCI Reference Design
IEEE 802.16
802.16a
Uses the licensed frequencies from 2 to 11 GHz
Supports Mesh network
802.16b
Increase spectrum to 5 and 6 GHz
Provides QoS( for real time voice and video service)
802.16c
Represents a 10 to 66GHz
802.16d
Improvement and fixes for 802.16a
802.16e
Addresses on Mobile
Enable high-speed signal handoffs necessary for
communications with users moving at vehicular speeds
802.16 Architecture
802.16 Architecture
P2MP Architecture
BS connected to Public Networks
BS serves Subscriber Stations (SS)
Provides SS with first mile access to Public
Networks
Mesh Architecture
Optional architecture for WiMAX

RANGE
Optimized for up to 50 Km
Designed to handle many users
spread out over kilometres
Designed to tolerate greater multipath delay spread (signal reflections)
up to 10.0 seconds
PHY and MAC designed with multimile range in mind

802.11
Contention-based MAC
(CSMA/CA) => no guaranteed QoS
Standard cannot currently
guarantee latency for Voice, Video
Standard does not allow for
differentiated levels of service on a
per-user basis
802.16a
Grant-request MAC

802.11
802.16a
No near-far compensation
Optimized for up to 50 Km
Designed to handle many users
spread out over kilometers
Designed to tolerate greater
multi-path delay spread (signal
reflections) up to 10.0 seconds
PHY and MAC designed with multimile range in mind
