WhAt IS BROADBAND WIRELESS?
Broadband wireless is high-speed Internet service via wireless
technology, available in Internet cafés, local “hot spots” within many
cities, private businesses and many homes.
The advantage of broadband wireless is that the computer receiving
the Internet signal need not be tethered by an Ethernet or network
cable to the broadband modem or router.
A broadband wireless modem receives the service and transmits it via
radio waves to the immediate surrounding area.
The most common way to take its advantage by using a laptop, with a
wireless broadband adapter, commonly available in a portable
computer (PC) card format.
BROADBAND WIRELESS
LIMITING FACTOR :
In today’s world, a large number of wireless transmission
technologies exist.
These technologies are distributed over different network families
depending upon the network scale such as PAN, WLAN, WMAN
and WAN.
The rapid growth of internet and increasing interest in portable
computing devices are likely to push demand for high-speed wireless
data services with aggregated higher information bit rates.
There are basically three limiting factors for transmitting high data
rate over the wireless medium that mainly include multipath fading,
delay spread and co-channel interference .
Technologies that promise to deliver higher data rates are attracting
more and more vendors and operators towards them.
BROADBAND WIRELESS
SOLUTION :
To address this issue a very interesting solution has been defined by
the IEEE 802.16 working group .
WIMAX provides a 21st century platform for broadband wireless
access.
WIMAX stands for worldwide interoperability for microwave
access .
WIMAX / IEEE 802.16
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 .
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.
LOS.
NLOS.
NLOS
Wi-Fi sort of service, where a small antenna on a computer connects to the
tower.
Uses lower frequency range (2 to 11 GHz).
Non-line-of-sight (NLOS) is a condition where a signal from a wireless
transmitter passes several obstructions before arriving at a wireless
receiver. The signal may be reflected, refracted, diffracted, absorbed or
scattered.
These create multiple signals that
will arrive at a receiver at different
times, from different paths, and
with different strength.

DEPLOyMENt ScENARIOS
IEEE 802.16/WiMAX technology intends to provide broadband
connectivity to both fixed and mobile users in a wireless
metropolitan area network (WMAN) environment. To provide
flexibility for different applications, the standard supports two major
deployment scenarios.
Last-mile BWA:
In this scenario, broadband wireless connectivity is provided to
home and business users in a WMAN environment.
The operation is based on a point-to-multipoint single hop
transmission between a single base station (BS) and multiple
subscriber stations (SSs).
DEPLOyMENt ScENARIOS
Backhaul networks :
This is a multihop (or mesh) scenario where a WiMAX network
works as a backhaul for cellular networks to transport data/voice
traffic from the cellular edge to the core network (Internet).
Backhaul is a technology that is linked with carrying traffic among
circulated sites.
Wimax backhaul is getting data from one point and spreading it over
a network with high data rates and low price.
Uses OFDMA (Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access).
It is specially designed for Wide Area Network with higher
throughput.
Another very unique feature of Wimax backhaul is that it gives
protection against theft of services.
DEPLOyMENt ScENARIOS
Coverage range up to 50km and speeds up to 70Mbps(shared among users).

Physical and transmission layer functions:
• Encoding/decoding of signals
• Preamble generation/removal
• Bit transmission/reception
• The PHY converts MAC layer frames into signals to be transmitted
across the air interface.
• Traditional narrow band radio is used with conventional modulation
schemes.

Fragmentation
MSDU might be fragmented by the transmitter to form several
MPDUs. The advantage of fragmentation is to lower the risk of
losing a whole MSDU to the risk of losing part of it, a fragment.
This is interesting when the radio channel is relatively bad or
packets too long.
