EMERGING BROADBAND WIRELESS TECHNOLOGIES: WIFI AND WIMAXcscpconf
Now-a-days there is high demand for broadband mobile services. Traditional high-speed
broadband solutions depend on wired technologies namely digital subscriber line (DSL). Wifi
and Wimax are useful in providing any type of connectivity such as the fixed or portable or
nomadic connectivity without the requirement of LoS (Line of Sight) of the base station. Mobile
Broadband Wireless Network (MBWN) is a flexible and economical solution for remote areas
where wired technology and also terminal mobility cannot be provided. The IEEE Wi-Fi and
Wi-Max/802.16 are the most promising technologies for broadband wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs) and these are capable of providing high throughput even on long distances with varied QoS. These technologies ensure a wireless network that enables high speed Internet access to residential, small and medium business customers, as well as Internet access for WiFi hot spots and cellular base stations. These offer support to both point-to-multipoint (P2MP) and multipoint-to-multipoint (mesh) nodes and offers high speed data (voice, video) service to the customers. In this paper, we study the issues related to, benefits and deployment of these technologies.
WiMAX is a wireless broadband technology standardized by the IEEE that provides longer range and higher data rates than Wi-Fi, making it suitable for metropolitan networks. WiMAX comes in fixed and mobile forms. Fixed WiMAX can serve as an alternative to cable or fiber for broadband access, while mobile WiMAX allows for broadband connectivity on mobile devices. In contrast, Wi-Fi is optimized for shorter range wireless networking within buildings and hotspots using unlicensed spectrum. While WiMAX and Wi-Fi address different use cases, they can also work together, with Wi-Fi integrated into devices to allow connectivity within WiMAX coverage areas.
WiMAX has the potential to replace existing telecommunications infrastructure by providing broadband internet, phone, and TV services without the need for cables. It can offer these services to both fixed locations and mobile users. WiMAX works by transmitting data between base stations and customer equipment over the air. The key components are radios at the base stations and customer locations, along with antennas to transmit and receive the wireless signals. WiMAX provides faster speeds and wider coverage than existing wireless technologies like WiFi, and allows for converged voice, data, and video services.
Wi-Fi and WiMAX are wireless networking technologies that use radio waves and have standards specified by IEEE. Wi-Fi provides short range connectivity using technologies like 802.11b, 802.11a, 802.11g and 802.11n. WiMAX is a wireless broadband technology that provides longer range connectivity using standards like 802.16 and 802.16e. Both have advantages like mobility and convenience but Wi-Fi has limitations in range and speed while WiMAX installations have higher costs.
This document summarizes a study that designed an integrated WiFi/WiMAX network using the QUALNET simulator. WiFi provides high data rates but short range, while WiMAX has lower data rates but much longer range. The study developed a coupler device that can receive WiMAX signals and convert them to WiFi, allowing seamless connectivity across both networks. This provides continuous coverage for users in high-rise buildings that may be outside WiFi range. The integrated network was analyzed in QUALNET and was found to provide high throughput, low delay, and consistent performance.
This document summarizes a study that designed an integrated WiFi/WiMAX network using the QUALNET 5.0.1 simulator. The study aimed to provide seamless connectivity for subscribers across different network types. It provides an overview of WiFi and WiMAX technologies and their complementary characteristics. The designed system model includes a WiFi/WiMAX interworking module that converts between the different network signals to allow coupling and handover between WiFi and WiMAX networks. The study analyzed the integrated network's performance in terms of throughput, delay, and jitter.
The document discusses WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), a wireless technology that provides broadband connections over long distances. WiMAX can provide broadband access to both fixed and mobile users, with speeds up to 70 Mbps. It has advantages over existing technologies like WiFi by providing broader coverage over distances of up to 50 km for lower costs. The document explores how WiMAX works, its standards, characteristics compared to WiFi, advantages and disadvantages, and its potential future applications in providing universal broadband connectivity.
Wireless communication systems provide mobility and connectivity anywhere through high data rates, quality of service, and extended ranges of up to 50km. WiMAX is a wireless technology that can deliver broadband access through fixed and mobile networks in an economical way. It transforms mobile broadband by supporting up to 75Mbps for devices like laptops. Key capabilities include centralized coordination, high-speed IP services, quality of service, and compatibility between equipment. WiMAX uses OFDM to optimize delivery of services and enables applications like voice, video, and Internet access over wide metropolitan areas.

WIMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access and enables high-speed wireless transmission of data, voice, and video via portable devices. It provides broadband connectivity over long distances without wires using microwave frequencies. WIMAX networks can connect users to the internet from up to 30 miles away at cable modem-like speeds, allowing users to browse on laptops without being physically connected. It involves the wireless transfer of data using microwave frequencies and supports both fixed and mobile uses.
WiMAX is a wireless technology that provides broadband access over long distances. It allows users to access the internet without wires by connecting to a WiMAX base station. Key points:

1. Service Provider Wi-Fi (SP Wi-Fi) is an emerging network architecture that uses public Wi-Fi networks to improve coverage and network capacity without the high costs of licensed small cell networks.
2. SP Wi-Fi networks use Wi-Fi access points connected to a central controller to provide connectivity in both indoor and outdoor areas. This allows service providers to augment their networks in a cost-effective manner.
3. Service providers can generate new revenue streams from SP Wi-Fi by retaining customers, offloading mobile data, becoming a "neutral host" to lease access to other carriers, generating analytics-based advertising, and targeting specific verticals like education, multi-dwelling units, and utilities.
