2. Wireless communication systems
Role and features
• To assure anytime, anywhere the possibility to communicate
with others
• Offer mobility of peoples that increase the productivity of them
• All the persons become reachable
• Bring simplicity in communication
• Bring autonomy in communication: fix, nomad and mobile
access that finally means global mobility
• Falling the installation costs
• Become a cultural element in our life
• Offer high data rates (<75Mbps)
• Quality of Services (QoS) that assure a optimal scheduling of
space, time and frequency
• Offer an important range: until 50km (LOS)

4. What brings WiMAX?
WiMAX is a wireless communication system expected to deliver broadband
access services to residential and enterprise customers in an economical
way.
 fixed WiMAX is capable of becoming a replacement for DSL or cable or for
network backhaul.
 WiMAX will transform the world of mobile broadband by enabling the cost-
effective deployment of metropolitan area networks based on the IEEE 802.16e
standard to support notebook PC and mobile users on move.

5. What is WiMAX?
 A wireless technology optimized for the delivery of IP
centric services over a wide area.
 A certification that denotes interoperability of
equipment built to the IEEE 802.16 or compatible
standard.
 The IEEE 802.16 Working Group develops standards
that address two types of usage models:
 a fixed usage model (IEEE 802.16-2004) and
 a portable usage model (802.16 REV e, ratificated at
the end of 2005).
 A scaleable wireless platform for constructing
alternative and complementary broadband networks.

and their application fields

7. Which are the main advantages of WiMAX
technology
 interoperability;
 cost of base stations and CPE;
 shared bandwidth up to 100 Mbps;
 line-of-sight not required;
 coverage 3–30 miles, more like cellular;
 licensed and unlicensed spectrum;
 many DOCSIS-like features including QoS;
 milestone to ‘broadband everywhere’.

8. WiMAX key capabilities (1)
 Centrally coordinated architecture:
 high-end security, encryption and service authentication;
 no ad-hoc PP client communication is possible;
 robust radio interface that works in NLOS conditions;
 OFDM PHY supports indoor, self installation by end users.
 High-speed IP services:
 optimized to deliver 110 Mbps (net) services (in 3.5 MHz);
 Up to 3550 Mbps (net) with large channels (1420 MHz).
 Second generation IP QoS:
 hierarchical QoS supports real-time and grant-based
service delivery
 A low delay radio interface:
 enables latency and jitter sensitive applications (VoIP,
Internet Gaming, etc.)

9. WiMAX key capabilities (2)
 Tolerance to Multipath and Self-
Interference
 Scalable Channel Bandwidth
 Orthogonal Uplink Multiple Access
 Support for Spectrally-Efficient TDD
 Frequency-Selective Scheduling
 Fractional Frequency Reuse
 Fine Quality of Service (QoS)
 Advanced Antenna Technology

10. Physical Layer (OFDM)
Orthogonal Frequency
Division Multiplexing
(OFDM) is a multi-
plexing technique
that subdivides the
bandwidth into multiple
frequency sub-carriers
as shown in left side
• OFDM modulation can be realized with efficient Inverse
Fast Fourier Transform (IFFT), which enables a large
number of sub-carriers (up to 2048) with low complexity.
• In an OFDM system, resources are available in the time
domain by means of OFDM symbols and in the frequency
domain by means of sub-carriers. The time and frequency
resources can be organized into sub-channels for
allocation to individual users.
•Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA)
is a multiple-access/multiplexing scheme that provides
multiplexing operation of data streams from multiple users
onto the downlink sub-channels and uplink multiple access
by means of uplink sub-channels.

11. Spectrum efficiency
 IEEE 802.16e standards have flexible channel
bandwidths between 1.5 and 20 MHz to facilitate
transmission over longer ranges and to different types of
subscriber platforms.
