WiMAX and WiFi Together: Deployment Models and User Scenarios

Tags:
wi-fi (802.11)

Overview The integration of WiFi into notebooks has accelerated the adoption of WiFi to the point where it is nearly a default feature in notebooks. Over 97% of laptops ship with WiFi integrated, and an increasing number of handhelds and Consumer Electronics (CE) devices are adding WiFi capabilities. This paper explores the complementary nature of WiMAX and WiFi, as well as illustrates how service providers can leverage these technologies to offer wireless broadband Internet connectivity and compelling new services at affordable prices and in more locations. It also focuses on the synergies between the IEEE 802.11a/g/n Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and IEEE 802.16e-2005 OFDMA air interfaces.
