Spatial multiplexing and Receive Diversity in Wimax

Spatial multiplexing and Receive Diversity in Wimax Spatial multiplexing WiMAX also supports spatial multiplexing, where multiple independent streams are transmitted across multiple antennas. If the receiver also has multiple antennas, the streams can be separated out using space-time processing. Instead of increasing  diversity, multiple antennas in this case are used to increase the data rate … Read more

Advanced Antenna Systems,Transmit diversity and Beamforming in Wimax

Advanced Antenna Systems,Transmit diversity and Beamforming in Wimax Advanced Antenna Systems The WiMAX standard provides extensive support for implementing advanced  multiantenna solutions to improve system performance. Significant gains in overall system capacity and spectral efficiency can be achieved by deploying the optional advanced antenna systems (AAS) defined in WiMAX. AAS includes support for a variety … Read more

Authentication and Access Control in Wimax

Authentication and Access Control in Wimax Access control is the security mechanism to ensure that only valid users are allowed access to the network. In the most general terms, an access control system has three elements: (1) an entity that desires to get access: the supplicant, (2) an entity that controls the access gate: the … Read more

QoS Mechanisms in Packet Networks

QoS Mechanisms in Packet Networks There are Three Types of QoS Mechanisms in Packet Networks. Control Plane Mechanisms Data Plane Mechanisms Its Tradeoffs Control Plane Mechanisms Such mechanisms include QoS policy management, signaling, and admission control. QoS policy management is about defining and provisioning the various levels and types of QoS services, as well as … Read more

Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM) in Wimax

QAM symbols are represented by the carrier signal being transmitted with specific phase (90°)/amplitude (dictated by the message), for finite periods of time. QAM constellations (patterns) 2 QAM (Binary PSK – BPSK) Two symbols are defined (1 amplitude; 2 phases) Every symbol transmitted over the transmission channel represents (carries) 1 message bit. Baud rate = … Read more
