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 .

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

WIMAX SyStEM
WIMAX
 WiMAX uses radio microwave technology to provide wireless
internet service to computers and other devices that are equipped
with WiMAX compatible chips for example PDA’s, cell phones
etc.
 It works more or less like cellular network technology.
 The theoretical range of WiMAX is up to 30 miles and achieves
data rates up to 75 Mbps
 WiMAX operates in similar manner as Wi-Fi but with two very
convincing differences as compared to Wi-Fi, these are :
o Data rate
o Data range
MODES OF OPERAtION
WiMax can provide 2 forms of wireless service:

 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.

 Wireless systems developed for


NLOS environment have to
incorporate a number of
techniques to overcome this
problem and that make the systems
more complex than those for LOS.
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.
 Line-of-sight (LOS) is a condition where a signal travels over the air
directly from a wireless transmitter to a wireless receiver without passing
an obstruction.
 LOS is an ideal condition for a wireless transmission because the
propagation challenge only comes from weather or atmospheric parameters
and the characteristic of its operating frequency.

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).

bandwidth.
 Two schemes are used
o FDD
o TDD
thE 802.16 MAc LAyER
 The primary task of the WiMAX MAC layer is to provide an
interface between the higher transport layers and the physical layer.
 The MAC layer takes packets from the upper layer,these packets are
called MAC service data units (MSDUs) and organizes them into
MAC protocol data units (MPDUs) for transmission over the air.
 The 802.16 MAC is designed for point-to-multipoint (PMP)
applications and is based on collision sense multiple access with
collision avoidance (CSMA/CA).
MAc FEAtuRES
The MAC incorporates several features suitable for a broad range of
applications at different mobility rates, such as the following:

 Privacy key management (PKM) for MAC layer security.


 Broadcast and multicast support.
 High-speed handover and mobility management primitives.
 Three power management levels, normal operation, sleep and idle.
 Header suppression, packing and fragmentation for efficient use of
spectrum.
 Support for integrated voice/data connections.

FRAgMENtAtION AND PAckINg
 Packing
The MAC layer may pack multiple MAC SDUs into one single
MAC PDU. When the radio channel is relatively good, this allows a
better use of available resources.

 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.

SPEctRuM INFLuENcE IN WIMAX
NEtWORk
 The best advantage of WiMAX system is that, it can operate in both
license and license free frequency bands which helps for global
deployment of WiMAX and have certain advantages over the wired
network.
 Channel bandwidth which increases the capacity of the WiMAX
network by reusing the frequency.
WIMAX LIcENSE SPEctRuM
 Most of the country around the world uses 2.5 GHz band as a
license frequency band for WiMAX application.
 Since allocation of spectrum varies among country to country, so
spectrum allocation can varies between 2.6 to 4.2 GHz.
 It can effectively deliver point-to-multipoint spectrum to large
number of users.
 It has strong bandwidth capacity.
 It is also good for interference free services and better QoS.
WIMAX uNLIcENSED SPEctRuM
 The globally available unlicensed spectrum is 2.4 GHz Industrial,
Scientific and Medical band (ISM).
 Unlicensed spectrum is better for lower cost network deployment
in rural areas, developing countries, emerging markets and
developed countries with underdeveloped areas.
 It is also good for quickly deployed the services rather that
wasting time for the license permit.
 It can be used in a point to point (PTP) communication in a small
population area or a point-to-multipoint (PMP) communication in
a rural areas or a place like college campus, where interference
can be controlled .
cOMPARISON OF WIMAX WIth
OthER WIRELESS tEchNOLOgIES
When WiMAX was taken into consideration for replacing the DSL
and cable modems and providing an enhanced solution to the exiting
solution (802.11 standards), no one thought that WiMAX could be
so strong and powerful that it could replace or even proves to be a
good competitor for 3G and beyond cellular networks.
A cOMPARISON OF WIMAX & 3g
 Introduces OFDMA, which improves spectrum efficiency around
two times more than current 3G technologies.
 Enables a wide range of advanced antenna systems including MIMO,
space-time coding and spatial multiplexing. It thus increases the
covering range of WiMAX .
 WiMAX spectrum is more economical than 3G.
 Higher Throughput.
 Low Cost.
 Lower Latency.
A cOMPARISON OF WIMAX & WIFI
 The fastest Wi-Fi connection can transmit up to 54 megabits per
second under optimal conditions. WiMAX should be able to handle
up to 70 megabits per second.
 WiMAX outdistances Wi-Fi by miles. Wi-Fi's range is about 100
feet (30 m). WiMAX will blanket a radius of 30 miles (50 km) with
wireless access. The increased range is due to the frequencies used
and the power of the transmitter .
 The original WiMAX standard (IEEE 802.16) proposes the usage of
10-66 GHz frequency spectrum for the WiMAX transmission, which
is well above the Wi-Fi range (up to 5 GHz maximum).
A cOMPARISON OF WIMAX & WIFI
 WiMAX specifications also provides much better facilities than Wi-
Fi, providing higher bandwidth and high data security by the use of
enhanced encryption schemes.
 WiMAX can also provide service in both Line of Sight (LOS) and
Non-Line of Sight (NLOS) locations, but the range will vary
accordingly.
cOMPARISION tABLE
WIMAX - SEcuRIty FuNctIONS
Security is handled by a privacy sublayer within the WiMAX MAC. The key
aspects of WiMAX security are as follow:

Support for privacy:


 User data is encrypted using cryptographic schemes.
 WiMAX uses the Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) to produce
cipher text.
 The cipher text is then transmitted over the wireless network and cannot
be understood by an eavesdropper.

Device/user authentication:
 WiMAX provides a flexible means for authenticating users to prevent
unauthorized use.

Support for fast handover:


 A three-way handshake scheme is supported to optimize the
reauthentication mechanisms for supporting fast handovers.
ADvANtAgES OF WIMAX
Long Range: Perhaps the most significant advantage of WiMAX
over other wireless technologies is the range it provides. WiMAX has a
communication range of up to 30 miles. This is enough to cover a medium
size city.
Higher Bandwidth: Before WiMAX, the existing wireless
technologies have various issues that are mostly related to the bandwidth.
WiMAX provides high data rates which makes.
Low cost: Although the cost to install a WiMAX base station would
be around 20,000 $ but still it would be much less cheaper when it comes
to the deployment of wireless network.
Security : Security options of Wimax Technology also offer very
high security because of encryption system used by Wimax.
ADvANtAgES OF WIMAX
 Multi - functionality within Wimax
Technology : Wimax Technology perform a variety of task at a
time such as offering high speed internet, providing telephone service,
transformation of data, video streaming, voice application etc.
 Wimax Coverage : The single station of Wimax can operate
and provide coverage for hundred of users at a time and manage sending
and receiving of data at very high speed with full of network security.
 Wimax Infrastructure : Wimax infrastructure is very easy
and flexible therefore it provides maximum reliability of network.
DISADvANtAgES
 WiMAX is basically a power sensitive technology, meaning that it
heavily relies on strong electrical support.
 A Line of sight is required in order to make a wireless data
communication connection extending over 6 miles or more.
Means it is needed for more distant connections.
 Bandwidth is shared among users in a given radio sector. If there
are many users in one sector, they will have lower speed.
 Bad weather conditions such as rain could interrupt the signal.
 Other wireless equipment could cause interference.
 WiMAX is a very power-consuming.
