    Wireless Networks: Wimax

    Uploaded by

    deardestiny
    WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a wireless technology that provides broadband connections over long distances, similar to cellular networks. It uses licensed spectrum between 2-66 GHz to allow for metropolitan-scale connectivity in a point-to-multipoint architecture with antennas mounted on rooftops or towers. WiMAX aims to provide high-speed internet access to homes and businesses without wires and supports applications with varying quality-of-service needs through centralized access control between base stations and subscriber stations.

    WiMAX

    Wireless networks
    Wireless PANs (Bluetooth IEEE

    802.15)
    very low range wireless connection to printers etc

    Wireless LANs (WiFi IEEE

    802.11)
    infrastructure as well as ad-hoc

    networks possible home/office networking

    Wireless MANs (WiMAX-802.16)


    Similar to cellular networks traditional base station infrastructure systems

    What is WiMax?
    The WiMax means world wide interoperatbility for

    microwave acess
    WiMax offers fast broadband connections over long

    distances.
    It is recently approved by 802.16 Metropolitian Area

    Network (MAN)

    802.16 Standards Development


    Use wireless links with microwave or millimeter wave radios
    10-66 GHz

    802.16a extension to 2-11 GHz

    Use licensed spectrum (unlicensed too in 802.16a) Metropolitan in scale Point-to-multipoint architecture with rooftop or tower-mounted antennas

    WiMAX

    Goal: Provide high-speed Internet access to home and business subscribers, without wires. Base stations (BS) and subscriber stations (SS) Centralized access conrol to prevents collisions Supports applications with different QoS requirements WiMAX is a subset of IEEE 802.16 standard
