WEIRD - Real Use Cases and Applications for the WiMAX Technology
Overview IEEE 802.16/WiMAX is one of the most promising technologies for Broadband Wireless Access, both for fixed and mobile use. This paper presents the structure of some testbeds, set up in the framework of the European project WEIRD, about novel applications running on top of a WiMAX-based end-to-end architecture. The presented testbeds are based on real use case scenarios, including monitoring of impervious areas, telemedicine and tele-hospitalization.

White Paper RSSDesigning Multihop Wireless Backhaul Networks With Delay Guarantees
DownloadAs wireless access technologies improve in data rates, the problem focus is shifting towards providing adequate backhaul from the wireless access points to the Internet. Existing wired backhaul technologies such...
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...
