Performance of TCP/IP Over Next Generation Broadband Wireless Access Networks

Tags:
tcp - ip

Overview This paper presents performance evaluation results for Internet access over the next generation of broadband wireless access networks (2G-BWA). The challenge for these, mostly fixed access technologies stems from non line-of-sight deployment with high coverage and spectrum efficiency combined with link performance comparable to that of competing wired technologies (DSL, Cable modem). We present an overview of the features at the physical (PHY) and medium access control (MAC) layers which are key to a successful 2G-BWA design and demonstrate the impact of such features on end-to-end link performance with typical TCP/IP applications and wireless channel models.

News in View: Pundits fail to bond with wireless networks

But Christopher Cane, business unit manager for WRQ, said: "Wireless networks are not as reliable as a wired network. We all grew up using wired networks, we expect a connection every time, and we never expect that connection to drop.

Time for the wireless, networked laptop

There's no point having a thin, light, ultra-portable notebook computer if it's tethered to a desk by a modem cord. Add a modem and it becomes a mailbox, a library and an entertainment centre all in one.

IP Wireless to get cut of $180m broadband wireless win

End users will need a desktop modem or PC card for their laptop or PDA. IPWireless' equipment uses the less commonly talked about TD-CDMA channel of next-generation UMTS spectrum and can allow very high-bandwidth data communications.

Peter Cochrane's Uncommon Sense: Mobile guesses

First, we have so far, only used up to 10 per cent of the frequency spectrum available. A key question: will the limited radio spectrum cope with all this? Interestingly we have passed this way before on a macro-scale with geostationary satellites...

The A to Z of broadband

Dial-up access, the old connectivity chestnut, uses a modem connection and telephone line to dial into an ISP's node to establish a modem-to-modem link, usually to the internet. Back in the day you'd be lucky to get 56Kbps out of a dial-up modem...

Is online TV throttling broadband networks?

BBC iPlayer: all the coverage diams; Ofcom suggests the next generation of broadband networks may require types of new business models or commercial relationships to fund them. This means services such as iPlayer or Channel 4's 4OD can be slowed...

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.
