Wireless Broadband: Comparative Analysis of HSDPA Vs. WiMAX

Tags:
mobile - wireless communications

Overview The ever growing demand for data and multimedia content has seen a surge in evolutionary wireless networking. This growth, largely driven by the success of data and media streaming over the all-encompassing communication medium, the internet, and ubiquitous availability of digital multimedia technology, has seen a sudden influx of partly complementary, partly substitutive network technologies such as HSPA, WLAN, WI-FI, Flash-OFDM, DVB-H and Bluetooth, bringing with them an upsurge in throughput (in Mbs). This paper gives an overview of the comparative analysis of two major technologies HSDPA and WiMAX, as a precursor to the complete experimental and simulation study of real-time streaming services (video) and optimization of existing networks.
