WIMAX / IEEE 802.16
• WIMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability
for Microwave Access as defined by WiMax
Forum


WiMAX networks refer to
broadband wireless networks that
are based on the IEEE 802.16
standard, which ensures
compatibility and interoperability
between broadband wireless
access equipment
The IEEE 802.16 standards define
how wireless traffics move
between subscriber equipment
and core networks

Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing (OFDM)
• Multiplexing technique that divides the channel into multiple
orthogonal subchannels
• Input data stream is divided into several substreams of a lower data
rate (increased symbol duration) and each substream is modulated
and simultaneously transmitted on a separate subchannel with
carrier orthogonal to each other
• High spectral efficiency, resilient to interference, and low multi-path
distortion

MODES OF OPERATION
• WiMax can provide 2 forms of wireless service:
– Non-LOS
• Wi-Fi sort of service, where a small antenna on a computer
connects to the tower.
• Uses lower frequency range (2 to 11 GHz).
– LOS
• where a fixed antenna points straight at the WiMax tower
from a rooftop or pole.
• The LOS connection is stronger and more stable: higher
throughput.
• Uses higher frequencies: reaching a possible 66 GHz.
• Through stronger LOS antennas, higher range can be
achieved: up to 50km radius.

Global spectrum bands
• WiMax Forum is focusing on 3 spectrum bands for global deployment:
• Unlicensed 5 GHz:
– Includes bands between 5.25 and 5.85 GHz. In the upper 5 GHz band
(5.725 – 5.850 GHz) many countries allow higher power output (4 Watts)
that makes it attractive for WiMax applications.
– Unlicensed fixed outdoor services
• Licensed 3.5 GHz:
– Bands between 3.4 and 3.6 GHz have been allocated for BWA in majority
of countries.
– Explicitly allow Nomadic use in Fixed Wireless spectrum to support indoor
modems and laptops
• Licensed 2.5 GHz:
– The bands between 2.5 and 2.6 GHz have been allocated in the US,
Mexico, Brazil and in some SEA countries. In US this spectrum is licensed
for MDS and ITFS.
– New mobile services model and can address the broadband digital divide.

Key Goals for Network
Architecture
• Should support a common evolution path from fixed to
portable to mobile
• Support of IP infrastructure and a single topology to
handle both packet voice and packet data efficiently
– Should handle IP multicast to the cell-edge for
efficient operations
• Network Architecture should allow
– Lower Latency
– Higher data throughput
• Future Investment Protection
– Support Radio Evolution and/or multiple radio
types
• Build a mobile device model and network architecture
that is much less expensive

4G (beyond 3G) / IMT Advanced
• 4G, a term used to describe the next complete
evolution in wireless communications,
– is being developed to accommodate the quality of service
(QoS) and rate requirements set by forthcoming applications
for "anytime-anywhere".
• The 4G working group has defined the following as
objectives of the 4G wireless communication standard:
– A nominal data rate of 100 Mbit/s while the client physically
moves at high speeds relative to the station, and 1 Gbit/s while
client and station are in relatively fixed positions
– Smooth handoff across heterogeneous networks
– Seamless connectivity and global roaming across multiple
networks
– High quality of service for next generation multimedia support
(real time audio, high speed data, HDTV video content, mobile
TV, etc)
– An all IP, packet switched network.
