In this paper, we present the review and the focus is on the Convolution coding used in WiMAX system and the difference between WiMAX system and Wi-Fi Technology is shown. The architecture used on WiMAX to drive a service over a radius upto several kilometers is configured in the same way as a traditional cellular network with base stations.

This paper presents the features of the Worldwide for Microwave Interoperability Access (WiMAX) technology and pretends to establish some valid criterions for future trends of possible applications of WiMAX. A discussion is given by comparing Wireless Fidelity (Wi-Fi) and WiMAX. Several references have been included at the end of the article for those willing to know in detail about certain spe...

Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) based on the IEEE 802.16 standards [IEEE 802.16, 2004] [IEEE 802.16, 2005], also known as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), is gaining momentum as more and more field trials are transformed in commercial roll-outs. Very much likely, this is certainly a merit of the combined effort of the IEEE 802.16 standardization community, the WiMAX Foru...

Abstract   The streamed audio video (AV) content for IPTV across mobile WiMAX channel, the different schemes were discussed to reduce the noise, packet loss and latency. The objective of this paper is to verify the effectiveness of forward error correction (FEC) techniques and to suggest the techniques for robustness problems and to analysis the issues either due to AV coding encoding or due to...

This paper describes the analysis of UWB interference on WiMax systems. Co-existence between these two systems is important due to unlicensed use of 3.1 to 10.6 GHz frequency band by UWB. The interference impact of UWB devices entirely depends on the victim receiver characteristics. From the knowledge of noise density and allowable maximum noise raise in WiMax receiver, maximum permissible inte...

It is envisioned, that WiMAX will provide the last mile internet access to residential users. This will be particularly useful in regions where wire lined infrastructure does not exist or can not be setup, such as rural areas and remote mountainous areas for instance. It is interesting to note, that WiMAX proved its importance during the devastating December 2004 Tsunami in Aceh, Indonesia whic...

WiMAX is an effective metropolitan area broadband access technology, supplying wireless coverage over an area of several kilometers with high data rates. WiMAX technology has introduced WiMAX broadband to provide an alternative to the high cost of broadband connection through cable or DSL. In this paper, simulative investigations have been done for the WiMAX network using different path loss mo...

WiMAX stands for Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access. In this paper, Performance evaluation of WiMAX and LTE (Long term Evolution) is done on network simulator NS version 2.34. Both are subjected to Real life scenarios to see how different factors viz. distance, number of subscriber stations, different modulation schemes and packet size affect the performances of WiMax and LTE. Simu...

Real-time peer-to-peer (P2P) streaming video traffic will constitute a significant proportion of future Internet traffic. With the availability of WiMAX, a large number of these peers will be ubiquitous and located on WiMAX based mobile nodes across the Internet. This chapter proposed a framework for providing quality of service (QoS) to the overlay P2P network over a WiMAX infrastructure. The ...

The IEEE 802.16 standard defines the specifications for medium access control (MAC) and physical (PHY) layers of WiMAX networks. A critical part of the MAC layer specification is packet scheduling, wh...
