Wimax
Which OFDM Parameters Used in WiMAX The fixed and mobile versions of WiMAX have slightly different implementations of the OFDM physical layer. Fixed WiMAX, which is based on IEEE 802.16-2004, uses a 256 FFT-based OFDM physical layer. Mobile WiMAX, which is based on the IEEE 802.16e-20055 standard, uses a scalable OFDMA-based physical layer. In the … Read more
The Difference Between Line Of Sight and Non-Line Of Sight Line of Sight (LOS): In LOS communication, there is a direct, unobstructed path between the transmitter and receiver. This type of communication is typically more reliable and offers higher data transfer rates because there are minimal obstacles in the signal’s path. LOS is commonly used … Read more
In the context of WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), NAP and NSP are important entities that play crucial roles in providing wireless broadband services. What is NAP & NSP in Wimax ? How it Works ? Let’s delve into what NAP and NSP stand for, and how they work together within the WiMAX ecosystem. … Read more
WiMAX antennas, just like the antennas for car radio, cell phone, FM radio, or TV, are designed to optimize performance for a given application. The figure above illustrates the three main types of antennas used in WiMAX deployments. From top to bottom are an omni directional, sector and panel antenna each has a specific function. … Read more
WiMAX is a coined term or acronym meaning worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX). What WiMAX is however at its heart is a standards initiative. Its purpose is to ensure that the broadband wireless radios manufactured for customer use interoperate from vendor to vendor. WiMAX is a family of wireless broadband communication standards that are … Read more
In addition to 3G, Wi-Fi based-systems may be used to provide broadband wireless. Wi-Fi is based on the IEEE 802.11 family of standards and is primarily a local area networking (LAN) technology designed to provide in-building broadband coverage. Wi-Fi is the name of a wireless network technology that uses radio waves to provide high-speed wireless … Read more
Naturally, the first application for which a wireless alternative was developed and deployed was voice telephony. These systems, called wireless local-loop (WLL), were quite successful in developing countries such as China, India, Indonesia, Brazil, and Russia, whose high demand for basic telephone services could not be served using existing infrastructure. In fact, WLL systems based … Read more
The MAC layer is oriented to the connections. Each connection corresponds to a service flow. The service flow defines the QoS parameters of PDU transmitted over the connection. The design core of the MAC protocol is the concept of service flow architecture on the connection. The service flow provides an uplink/downlink QoS management mechanism. An … Read more
Sub-Carrier Allocation Mode 1 DL PUSC – Downlink partial Usage Sub-Channels The downlink PUSC replacement zone is unique, that must exist in the frame structure specified by the protocols. DL PUSC with all SC – PUSC with all sc indicates the PUSC replacement mode when all the bandwidth resources are used. DL FUSC- Downlink Full … Read more
Transmitting: The process is similar to that of BS. The frequency offset is pre-corrected. The Ranging and BW Request are generated at the physical layer and a code is selected according to the indication at the MAC layer. After the modulation, they are mapped to competitive slots selected at the MAC layer. Later, they are … Read more
