IP Data Communication Over the Wireless Network: A WiMAX Challenge

Overview This white paper attempts to suggest a solution for IPv4 data communications over the 802.16 Medium Access Control (MAC) layer. Two basic implementations are discussed at length here -IPv4 over 802.16 and IPv4 over ethernet (802.3) over 802.16. This white paper also provides an overview of WiMAX technology and outlines the enhancements made in this domain to address issues like mobility. It should be noted that the technical challenges, solutions and assumptions described in this white paper may be applicable to other packet data services in one form or the other.
