3. What is Wireless Local Loop In a telephone network a Wireless Local Loop is a generic term for an access system that uses a wireless link to connects subscribers to the local telephone station in place of conventional copper wire. In Fixed Wireless Access Systems the Wireless Local Loop is popular, WLL is also called as Fixed wireless loop. The function of a WLL is to make primary access to local telephone station using wireless link.

4. WIRELESS LOCAL LOOP In the WLL system there are two concepts namely Narrowband WLL – offers a replacement for existing telephony services. Broadband WLL – provides high-speed two-way voice and data service. Thus, WLL is the best system to handle high data traffic in the local loop system.

5. How its works WLL, which stands for Wireless Local Loop that connects subscribers to the PSTN using radio signals as a substitute for copper for all or part of the connection between the subscriber and the switch. WLL phones in homes, offices or even boats connect with a wireless system in a manner similar to that of CDMA cell phones.

8. Features Better quality of service Compatible with other cellular technologies Scalability

9. Advantages of WLL The cost of wireless equipment is less. Easy installation They have good scale of installation.

10. TYPES OF WLL There are two type of WLL technique available. They are Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS) Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service(MMDS)

11. Local Multipoint Distribution Service Local Multipoint Distribution Service (LMDS) is the broadband wireless point-to-multipoint communication system operating above 20 GHz that can be used to provide two-way voice, data, video services and Internet. Fixed broadband technology that can provide a wide variety of wireless services         High-speed Internet access        Real-time multimedia file transfer       Remote access to local area networks    Interactive video, video-on-demand, video conferencing     Telephone service

12. LDMS TRANSMISSION

13. Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages 1. Easily developed 2. Cost effective 3. High data rate 4. scalable architecture Disadvantages 1.The drawback of LMDS is that it needs large number of base stations because of its short range of operation frpm the base station.

14. Multichannel Multipoint Distribution Service MMDS is a broadcasting and communications service that operates in the ultra−high−frequency(UHF) portion of the radio spectrum between 2.1 and 2.7 GHz. MMDS is also known as wireless cable.  In MMDS, a medium−power transmitter is located with an Omni−directional broadcast antenna at or near the highest topographical point in the intended coverage area. The workable radius can reach up to 70 miles in flat terrain . Fixed broadband wireless technology similar to LMDS. Can transmit video, voice, or data signals at 1.5 to 2 Mbps downstream and 320 Kbps upstream.

15. MMDS Structure

16. Advantages and Disadvantages Advantages 1. High signal strength        2. Cell size is small        3. Less cost than LMDS 4. Larger wavelength Disadvantages 1.  Physical limitations      The transmitted power as the FCC did not allow the power transmitted of the base station serving area that is more than 50 km.   

17. Comparison between LMDS MMDS Both are used for TV and 2-way internet service using fixed wireless access. Due to lower RF frequency range MMDS provide lesser BW compare to LMDS. LMDS offers higher data rates. MMDS signal can cover long distance and hence used in large cell network scenario. LMDS signal can cover short distance from Base Station equipments. Due to larger wavelength MMDS signals are less susceptible to rain and absorption losses compare to shorter wavelength LDMS signal.

18. Future Scope of WLL CDMA based WLL  As the cost of mobile technology decreases, it is becoming more and more economic to install 'fixed' lines using WLL.

20. Question  What is the primary difference between wireless local loop and a CDMA cell phone? Wireless local loop phones are for use in a relatively fixed location and can use A/C instead of batteries.
