WiMAX: The Innovative Broadband Wireless Access Technology
Overview The telecommunication industry has been through disruptive times, but data networking service revenue has continued to rise. The telecom industry is expected to continue to grow as demand increases for cable and high-speed Internet in previously unserviced locations and as local telephone companies upgrade their lines in response to increasing competition. This paper presents an extended overview of the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) and its applications in higher generation wireless networks as a cost effective solution to answering the challenges posed by the digital divide. It looks at the technology behind WiMAX and networks design and deployment factors that impact WiMAX coverage.

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...
