This paper performs a detailed comparison of the LTE and WiMAX
standards and delves into the intricacies of each of them. Covered topics are:
System Architecture, WiMAX Architecture, Network Reference Model, Seamless
integration with 3GPP networks, Air Interface Radio Aspects, Frequency bands,
Radio Access Modes, Air Interface Protocol Aspects and Physical Layer Control
Mechanisms.
The book will
provide a wide horizon to visualize the WiMAX technology and its developments
leading towards 4G systems. It will provide a good platform to the researchers
with clues to the innovative ideas in WiMAX domain.
This document provides an overview of Mobile WiMAX and provide the
performance for the basic minimal configuration based on the WiMAX Forum
Release-1 system profiles. It shows mobile WiMAX can provide tens of megabits
per second of capacity per channel from each base station with a baseline
configuration.
