LTE and WiMAX Comparison

Tags:
mobile - wireless communications

Overview Two emerging technologies, the IEEE 802.16 WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) and the 3GPP LTE (Third Generation Partnership Project Long Term Evolution) aim to provide mobile voice, video and data services by promoting low cost deployment and service models through Internet friendly architectures and protocols. Both these technologies are being considered as candidates for the fourth Generation (4G) of mobile networks. This paper performs a detailed comparison of the LTE and WiMAX standards and delves into the intricacies of each of them. The paper begins with a brief history and technology overview of WiMAX and LTE.

3.5G laptops to overwhelm mobile networks?

Berg predicts laptops with HSPA/LTE (high speed packet access/long term evolution) mobile broadband connectivity will grow from 8.4 million in 2007 to 49 million in 2013 - a compound annual growth rate of just over a third.

Femtocells to speed arrival of next-gen mobile networks?

Femtocells could help speed the arrival of next generation mobile broadband networks - such as WiMax and LTE (long term evolution), the future roadmap of 3G. Simon Saunders, chairman of the Femto Forum, explained: "As early adopters find LTE...

Ultra Mobile Broadband goes the way of the dodo
