WiMAX: Wireless Broadband Technology for High-Speed Connectivity

This presentation explores WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), a wireless broadband technology designed to provide high-speed internet access over long distances. WiMAX enables last-mile connectivity, offering an alternative to DSL and fiber networks, especially in rural and underserved areas.

Key topics include WiMAX architecture, frequency bands, advantages over Wi-Fi, applications in telecommunications, and its role in wireless communication evolution. This guide is perfect for students, engineers, and professionals interested in broadband networking.

2. WiMAX Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access IEEE 802.16 A wireless broadband communication standards based on the IEEE 802.16 WiMAX Forum Formed in June 2001 Describes WiMAX as "a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL". Transfer Rate and Range Optimal condition up to 40 miles and 70Mbps

3. Importance WiMAX can provide portable mobile broadband connectivity across cities and countries through various devices. It is a wireless alternative to cable and digital subscriber line (DSL) for "last mile" broadband access. It can Provide data, telecommunications (VoIP) and IPTV services (triple play). It can be uses to provide cheap Internet connectivity

4. Network Architecture Layered Architecture Physical Layer MAC Layer Convergent Layer E ncoding and decoding of signals M anages bit transmission and reception It converts MAC layer frames into signals to be transmitted. Provides and interface between convergence layer and physical layer o f WiMAX protocol stack P rovides the information of the external network. A ccepts higher layer protocol data unit (PDU) and converts it to lower layer PDU.

5. Limitations Big installation and operational cost Multiple frequencies are used Poor bandwidth when serving lots of clients Higher latency Unreliable service Big delay Big power consumption Interference with other wireless signals Weather conditions like rain could cause interference
