  3. Overview

  4. 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 Source: SHASHI JAKKU

  5. WIMAX System: General Features • Subsystems: • 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 ~8,000 square km. • A WiMAX client terminal • The terminal receiver and antenna could be a small box or Personal Computer Memory card, or they could be built into a laptop the way WiFi access is today • Range: 50km from base station • Speed: 70 Megabits per second • Frequency bands: 2 to 11 and 10 to 66 (licensed and unlicensed bands) • IEEE 802.16 standards define both MAC and PHY layers and allow multiple PHY layer specifications

  6. 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 Spectrum from 10 to 66GHz 802.16d (d = a+b+c) Improvement and fixes for 802.16a 802.16e-2005 Addresses on Mobile Enable high-speed signal handoffs necessary for communication with users moving at vehicular speeds IEEE 802.16 Specifications • A family of standards for broadband wireless access Source: SHASHI JAKKU

  7. 802.16e Compatibility with 16d • 802.16e is the mobile extension from 802.16 • Modification in PHY from OFDM to Scalable OFDMA • Modification in MAC for security, handoff, roaming, & resource management • Service Specific Convergence Sub Layer Packet Classifier Header Suppression IP Ethernet ATM MAC Common Part & Security Sub Layers PDU Generation PDU Reassembly Connection Management Bandwidth Management Net Entry PHY Burst Scheduling Security/Privacy Key, AES, EAP Power Mgnt Sleep/Idle ARQ Handoff PHY Layer OFDMA 2-11GHz 2048FFT OFDM 2-11GHz 256FFT SC 10-66GHz SCa 2-11GHz OFDMA 2-11GHz 128, 256, 512,1024, 2048 802.16d 802.16e Source: BeyondSpot Technology

  8. 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 FDM OFDM • OFDM is more spectral efficient as compared to FDM (allows more transmission channels)

  9. WiMAX Forum • Is an industry group founded in April 2001 • Consists of services providers, manufacturers, and related companies that have joined together to promote the family of technologies based upon the IEEE 802.16 standard • Ensure interoperability of IEEE 802.16* and other interoperable (ETSI HiperMAN*) systems • Equivalent in purpose to Wi-Fi Alliance for IEEE 802.11 • Develop Conformance Test Specifications • Host interoperability events • Provide WiMAX-Certified stamp of approval

  10. Players in WiMAX Forum • WiMAX Forum has >500 members (530 as at 26/11/08) • WiMAX members represent over 75% of current 2-11 GHz BWA equipment sales! And a lot more….. Source: WiMAx Forum

  11. Fixed WiMAX – 256 OFDM IEEE 802.16 World Mobile WiMAX - OFDMA WiBro WiMAX and IEEE 802.16 • “WiMAX” is a subset of IEEE 802.16 • No new features can be added • Mandatory features in 802.16 are mandatory in WiMAX, if included • Optional features in 802.16 may be optional, mandatory or not included Source: WiMAx Forum

  12. 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.

  13. Broadband Usage Scenarios • Fixed wireless access (FWA) • Wireless accessapplication in which the location of the end-user termination and the network access point to be connected to the end-user are fixed. • Backhaul for business • Consumer last mile • Nomadic wireless access (NWA) • Wireless access application in which the location of the end-user termination may be in different places but it must be stationary while in use. • Mobile wireless access (MWA) • Wireless access application in which the location of the end-user termination is mobile.

Wireless Solutions Before WiMax: • Proprietary, vertical solutions • No volume silicon market – lack economies of scale • Lack of global spectrum Economies of scale as WiMax is an open standard solution Source: WiMAx Forum

  18. WiMax Spectrum

  19. 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.
