Performance Evaluation of Point-to-Multi-Point (PMP) and Mesh Air-Interface in IEEE Standard 802.16a

Overview Broadband wireless access has gained a lot of attention during the last years. At the same time multi-hop communication is expected to become a major technology in systems beyond 3G. The IEEE standard 802.16a provides both high speed wireless access and multi-hop capabilities through the two air-interfaces that are investigated in this paper: Point-to-Multi-Point (PMP) and Mesh mode. The Mesh mode already supports multi-hop communications, so the design of PMP has been extended in order to adapt this air-interface to support multi-hop. In this paper the performances of Mesh and PMP mode are compared by means of an analytical evaluation of the efficiency, or equivalently the overhead introduced by the MAC layer protocol.

Virtualisation: Architectual Considerations and other Evaluation Criteria

In the past several years, server virtualisation technology has moved quickly and firmly into the IT mainstream. Of the many approaches to system virtualisation available in the market today, VMware's hypervisor architecture has gained the greatest market acceptance. This paper examines the architectural issues, solution support, and enterprise readiness required when deploying such a virtualisation solution.
