Broadband Wireless Access With WiMax/802.16: Current Performance Benchmarks and Future Potential

Overview This paper first provides a tutorial overview of 802.16. Then, based on extensive recent studies, this paper presents the realistic attainable throughput and performance of expected WiMax compatible systems based on the 802.16d standard approved in June 2004 (now named 802.16-2004). This paper also suggests future enhancements to the standard that could at least quadruple the achievable data rate, while also increasing the robustness and coverage, with only moderate complexity increases.
