The WiMAX MAC encapsulates data packets from higher layers through various sublayers. It adds headers at each sublayer for functions like security, bandwidth allocation, and multiple access control before the data is encoded and transmitted through the physical layer using modulation schemes like OFDM. This ensures efficient transmission of data over the wireless medium according to QoS priorities and security requirements.
WIMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access.WiMAX refers to broadband wireless networks that are based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, which ensures compatibility and interoperability between broadband wireless access equipment.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

3. 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.
4. 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.
5. 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 .
6. WIMAX / IEEE 802.16
Wimax networks refer to broadband wireless networks that are
based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, which ensures compatibility
and interoperability between broadband wireless access
equipment .
The IEEE 802.16 standards
define how wireless traffics
move between subscriber
equipment and core networks.
WiMAX was designed for the
transmission of multimedia
services (voice, Internet, email,
games and others) at high data
rates.

7. FEAtuRES
Use microwave for the wireless transfer of data.
Specifies a frequency band in the range between 2 GHz to 66 GHz.
For high speed wireless networking.
Basically, Wimax is a wireless internet service that is capable of
covering a wide geographical area by serving hundreds of users at a
very low cost.
Uses OFDM ,good for multipath environments.
It includes TDD and FDD duplexing support.
Flexible channel sizes (3.5 MHz,5 MHz,10MHz)
An easy and fast system to install.
Leading to low installation cost, when compared to fiber ,cable or
DSL deployments.
10. WIMAX SyStEM
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
The terminal receiver and antenna could be a small box or
Personal Computer Memory card, or they could be built
into a laptop.
12. 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
14. 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.
15. 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.

23. 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).
24. 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.

• Preamble generation/removal
• Bit transmission/reception
• The PHY converts MAC layer frames into signals to be transmitted
across the air interface.
• Traditional narrow band radio is used with conventional modulation
schemes.

802.16 provides a more flexible way to allocate the
bandwidth.
Two schemes are used
o FDD

31. 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).
32. 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.

43. 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.

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.
47. 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.
48. 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 .
49. 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.
50. 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.
51. 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).
52. 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.
54. 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.
55. 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.
56. 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.
57. 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.
58. APPLIcAtION
Broadband Internet access real time applications
Video streaming
VoIP, Video on Demand
Video Conference
Surveillance and monitoring (forests, volcano, etc.)
Other possible real time complex applications
E-learning
General applications and services based on IP connectivity.
60. APPLIcAtIONS
Security:
This is crucial for telemedicine services. Patient information must
be communicated in a secure and reliable manner. The MAC layer
security feature in the IEEE 802.16/WiMAX standard can provide
access control and encryption functionalities for wireless
telemedicine services.
WiMAX-based wireless telemedicine network.
63. FutuRE OF WIMAX
Along with the forthcoming standardization, WiMAX has the
potential to substitute 3G and become a promising 4G.
WiMax is a technology which considered as the first step toward 4G.
Today WiMax is operating as second generation and third generation
technology but in near future it would be substantial 4G technology.
It is expected that WiMax becomes the dominant standard for
Wireless MAN in the world market, at least, in fixed broadband
networks.
WiMAX networks can provide very-high-speed wireless
connectivity in presence of mobility.
