CONTENTS Introduction Working of WIMAX IEEE 802.16 Standard IEEE 802.16 Architecture Features of WIMAX Comparison of WIMAX over WIFI Application of WiMAX WIMAX vs. 3G ISSUES in WIMAX vs. 3G FUTURE SCOPE
What is WiMAX?• WiMAX stands for “Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave
Access”.
• WiMAX refers to broadband wireless networks that are based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, which ensures compatibility and interoperability between broadband wireless access equipment .
• WiMAX, which will have a range of up to 31 miles, is primarily aimed at making broadband network access widely available without the expense of stringing wires (as in cable-access broadband) or the distance limitations of Digital Subscriber Line.
A WIMAX SYSTEM CONSISTS OF• A WiMAX tower, similar in concept to a cell-phone tower - A single WiMAX
tower can provide coverage to a very large area as big as 3,000 square miles (~8,000 square km).
• A WiMAX receiver - The receiver and antenna could be a small box or Personal Computer Memory card, or they could be built into a laptop the way Wi-Fi access is today.
HOW WIMAX WORKS?
IEEE 802.16 STANDARD
IEEE 802.16 ARCHITECTURE:
1.NETWORK ARCHITECTURE
2. LAYER ARCHITECTURE
PHYSICAL LAYER• WiMAX uses orthogonal frequency division multiplexing
technology. • The physical layer contains several forms of modulation
(BPSK,QPSK,QAM) and multiplexing (TDD,FDD) techniques.• IEEE 802.16 uses uplink and downlink maps in order to ensure the
collision free access.
MAC LAYER• IEEE 802.16 MAC layer is connection oriented.• MAC layer consists of 3 sublayer:
o Convergence service sublayero Common part sublayero Privacy sublayer
FEATURES OF WIMAX• Range
• Scalability
• Bit rate
• Quality of Service
ADVANTAGE OF WIMAX OVER WI-FI
WIFI WIMAX
Range Upto 300 feet(91.4m)(LAN)
Upto 30 miles(50km)(MAN)
Channel Fixed channel(20MHz)
Flexible channel (1.5 to 20 MHz)
User 1-10 Users 1-100 Users
Bit rate 2.7bps/Hz & peak Upto 54Mbps
5bps/Hz & peak Upto 75Mbps
Security Limited Multi level encryption
Quality Of Service Limited support at MAC layer and enables differentiated services
for voice and video
BENEFITS OF WIMAX
• Speed Faster than broadband service
• WirelessLow cost system implementationEasier to extend to suburban and rural areas
• Broad CoverageMuch wider coverage than Wi-Fi hotspots
USES OF WiMAX
Advantages of WiMAX over 3G
• Greater flexibility
• Higher data rate
• High system capability
• Low Cost
• More reliable
ISSUES in 3G vs WiMAX
Cost Issue:
• The main reason to opt for WiMAX is its low cost.
• The price paid per Hz for WiMAX spectrum is as much as 1000 times lower than for 3G spectrum.
• The low cost of WiMAX spectrum compared to 3G is a clear driver for service providers to enter the field of wireless services with WiMAX.
FUTURE SCOPE• The IEEE 802.16m standard is the core technology for the
proposed Mobile WiMAX which will enables more efficient, faster, and more coverage data communication.
