THINK ABOUT INTERNET
A worldwide, publicly accessible series of inter-
connected computer networks.
Main uses
• Transmit data
• Communication
• Web applications
Three ways to access Internet
• Broadband – Uses DSL or cable modem
• Dial up Connection – Uses modem
• WiFi – Uses WiFi routers and hotspots
4
THINK ABOUT WIRELESS ACCESS
• Accessing networks without any wires.
• Convenient and ease of access.
Ex: WiFi
• Low data transfer
• less coverage
New wireless technology should promise
• High speed
• Broad Coverage
5
• WiMAX – Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access.

• Consider a scenario where a WiMAX-enabled computer is 10
miles away from the WiMAX base station.
• The base station would beam data from the Internet required
for computer (at speeds potentially higher than today's cable
modems)
9
• The user would pay the provider monthly fee for using the
service. Lower cost + better speed.
10
• WiMAX is a term coined to describe standard, interoperable
implementations of IEEE 802.16 wireless networks.
• Standards
– Range- 30 miles from base station
– Speed- 70 Megabits per second
– Frequency bands- 2 to 11 GHz for licensed band and 10 to
66 GHz for unlicensed bands.
– Defines both MAC and Physical (PHY) layer and allows
multiple PHY layer specifications.
11
• WiMAX uses a scheduling algorithm for which the
subscriber station need to compete only once for initial
entry into the network.
• A time slot is allocated to the subscriber by the base
station.
• The time slot can change but remains assigned to the
subscriber station
• Stability is achieved by allowing the base stations to
control QoS parameters by balancing the time-slot
assignments wrt application needs.
12
• Fixed WiMAX has two types of architectures:

15
• Scalability
• Quality of Service
• Range
• Coverage
Uses
• Wi-Fi hotspots can be interconnected without any wires.
• It provides a wireless alternative to cable and DSL connection for
last mile broadband access.
• It can provide high-speed data and telecommunications services.
• Providing nomadic connectivity.
16
• Speed
• Wireless
• Broad Coverage
Disadvantages
• Big installation and operational cost
• Multiple frequencies are used
• A line of sight needed
17
• Error rate is increased when operated over maximum range
and capacity.
• Lower shared bandwidth in case of too many active users.
• System up-gradation for current computers is required to
receive WiMAX transmissions.
Future Development
• Long term goal for WiMAX is to achieve 100 MBPS mobile
and 1 GBPS fixed-nomadic bandwidth.

19
• Speed, broad coverage, mobility, portability are the major
concerns for a wireless network.
