WiMAX (802.16) White Papers
Understanding WiMAX and 3G for Portable/Mobile Broadband Wireless
Overview It is clear that WCDMA has the advantage when referring to voice and soft handoff of voice, these advantages disappear for data-centric applications. There are some additional advantages of WCDMA in equipment performances; however these advantages are not sufficient to overcome the advantages of OFDMA stated above. As data traffic continues to grow, there will be an increasing need to offload data from 3G to and OFDMA-based network optimized for data. WiMAX (upcoming 802.16e) provides the only standards-based OFDMA WAN technology; wireless carriers should work with equipment providers to ensure that their 3G infrastructure can easily be migrated to adopt OFDMA technologies in the near future.

Throughput and Capacity of MIMO WiMAX
The work in this paper presents physical layer throughput measurement results of a WiMAX link implemented according to IEEE 802.16-2004. The measurements were carried out in an alpine and an...
Leveraging 802.16e WiMAX Technology in License-Exempt Bands
License-exempt spectrum bands make it possible for operators who do not have access to licensed spectrum to deploy wireless broadband networks. Traditionally vendors have developed specific solutions for license-exempt operators,...
A Cooperative MAC for Distributed Space-Time Coding in an IEEE 802.16 Network
In the next-generation WiMAX system, cooperative communication is being considered as an advanced technique to increase the throughput and improve the signal quality. In a cooperative scenario, multiple stations can...
Measurement Based Throughput Evaluation of Residual Frequency Offset Compensation in WiMAX
WiMAX utilizes a physical-layer based on OFDM that is very sensitive to carrier frequency offset. Even though most of this offset can be compensated using the initial training sequence, there...
