Performance Analysis of IEEE 802.16a in Mesh Operation Mode

Overview The IEEE working group 802.16 has specified the air-interface for second generation Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN) to provide high-data rate network connections to fixed stations. This standard is investigated in the WINNER project as benchmark for an advanced radio interface to be developed. This paper gives an overview on the frame structure designed to support multi-hop communications. A throughput evaluation on the Medium Access Control (MAC) layer is provided by means of an analytical approach. An example scenario is also considered in order to remark the performance of centralized and distributed scheduling mode. Simulation results validate the analytical derivation when the centralized scheduling is applied.

Ipv6: An acronym to shake the networked world

The so-called 'air interface' is, however, more easily compromised than a fixed wired network. The reasons are the new mobile technologies: GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) and subsequently UMTS (Universal Mobile Telecommunications System).

Peter Cochrane's Blog: Getting thinner fast

I is for i-mode J is for Japan Air Most likely we will retain some substantial processing power and memory but increasingly rely on near and distant servers to provide transient content, as well as connections to additional processing power.

Femtocells to speed arrival of next-gen mobile networks?

Saunders added: "It isn't a technology that we think is specific to just one of the flavours of mobile air interface - UMTS or GSM or CDMA or WiMax, for that matter - we actually think femotcells bring things to all those technologies.

Live Webcast: Telecoms 2.0 - Where is telecoms heading?

In this webcast, our panel of experts will review where we are with next generation telecoms in the UK, working through the concept of 'Telecoms 2.0': - Realising the potential of Next Generation Networks - why it isn't just about the technology? - What attributes should firms be looking for in their telco partner? - Is the relationship between telco provider and customer changing? - What things need to happen to make next generation services a reality? - You say you want the supplier to change. Do you want to change too? - What is Telecoms 2.0?

Telecom 2.0: Mind over matter

ntl:Telewest Business believes that the role of the telco is evolving. Gone are the days when it was enough to simply focus on circuits and minutes, customers now need a far higher degree of interaction and look for suppliers who will talk business solutions with them.
