Initial Performance Evaluation and Analysis of the Global OFDM Metropolitan Area Network Standard IEEE 802.16a / ETSI HiperMAN

Overview Wireless last mile technology is becoming a challenging competitor to conventional wired last mile access systems like DSL and cable modems or even fiber-optic cables. The European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) have lately developed a new standard for fixed broadband wireless access systems in frequency bands below 11 GHz. This paper gives a short overview of the IEEE 802.16a/OFDM, respectively ETSI HiperMAN standard. The Medium Access Control (MAC) and the PHysical Layer (PHY) are described. An initial system performance analysis of an example scenario is performed. Further on, the MAC Packet Data Unit (PDU) configuration is analyzed. The two optional features packing and fragmentation are evaluated.

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?
