What is
wimax, how to use it, how to get started?
WiMAX is
defined as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access by
the WiMAX Forum, formed in April 2001 to promote conformance
and interoperability of the IEEE 802.16 standard, officially
known as WirelessMAN. The Forum describes WiMAX as "a
standards-based technology enabling the delivery of last mile
wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and
DSL".
The IEEE 802.16
Working Group on Broadband Wireless Access Standards, which
was established by IEEE Standards Board in 1999, aims to
prepare formal specifications for the global deployment of
broadband Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks. The Workgroup
is a unit of the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN Standards Committee.
Although the
802.16 family of standards is officially called WirelessMAN,
it has been dubbed “WiMAX” by an industry group called the The
WiMAX Forum. The mission of the Forum is to promote and
certify compatibility and interoperability of broadband
wireless products. The acronym WiMAX expands to "Worldwide
Interoperability for Microwave Access".
The first
802.16 standard was approved in December 2001 and was followed
by two amendments – 802.16a and 802.16c to address issues of
radio spectrum and inter-operability, respectively. In
September 2003, a revision project called 802.16REVd commenced
aiming to align the standard with aspects of the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) HIPERMAN
standard as well as lay down conformance and test
specifications. This project concluded in 2004 with the
release of 802.16-2004 and the withdrawal of the earlier
802.16 documents including the a/b/c amendments.
Amendments to
the standard
An amendment to the standard, IEEE 802.16-2005
(formerly known as IEEE 802.16e), addressing mobility, was
concluded in 2005. This is sometimes called “Mobile WiMAX”,
after the WiMAX forum for interoperability.
Active
amendments:
802.16f –
Management Information Base
Amendments in development:
802.16g -
Management Plane Procedures and Services
Amendments at
pre-draft stage:
802.16h -
Improved Coexistence Mechanisms for License-Exempt Operation
802.16i - Mobile Management Information Base
802.16j -
Mobile Multihop Relay
802.16k - Bridging
Certification
Because the IEEE
only sets specifications but does not test equipment for
compliance with them, the WiMAX Forum runs a certification
program wherein members pay for certification. WiMAX
certification by this group is intended to guarantee
compliance with the standard and interoperability with
equipment from other manufacturers. The mission of the Forum
is to promote and certify compatibility and interoperability
of broadband wireless products.
IEEE 802 refers
to a family of IEEE standards about local area networks and
metropolitan area networks. More specifically, the IEEE 802
standards are restricted to networks carrying variable-size
packets. (By contrast, in cell-based networks data is
transmitted in short, uniformly sized units called cells.
Isochronous networks, where data is transmitted as a steady
stream of octets, or groups of octets, at regular time
intervals, are also out of the scope of this standard.) The
number 802 was simply the next free number IEEE could assign,
though "802" is sometimes associated with the date the first
meeting was held - February 1980.
The services
and protocols specified in IEEE 802 map to the lower two
layers (Data Link and Physical) of the seven-layer OSI
networking reference model. In fact, IEEE 802 splits the OSI
Data Link Layer into two sub-layers named Logical Link Control
(LLC) and Media Access Control, so that the layers can be
listed like this:
Data link layer
LLC Sublayer
MAC Sublayer
Physical layer
The IEEE 802
family of standards is maintained by the IEEE 802 LAN/MAN
Standards Committee (LMSC). The most widely used standards are
for the Ethernet family, Token Ring, Wireless LAN, Bridging
and Virtual Bridged LANs. An individual Working Group provides
the focus for each area.
General
The IEEE 802.16
Air Interface Standard is truly a state-of-the-art
specification for fixed broadband wireless access systems
employing a point-to-multipoint architecture. The initial
version was developed with the goal of meeting the
requirements of a vast array of deployment scenarios for BWA
systems operating between 10 and 66 GHz. As a result, only a
subset of the functionality is needed for typical deployments
directed at specific markets. An amendment is almost finished
to do the same for systems operating between 2 and 11 GHz.
Additionally, the IEEE process stops short of providing
conformance statements and test specifications. In order to
ensure interoperability between vendors competing in the same
market, the WiMAX technical working groups were created by the
leaders in IEEE 802.16 technology.
The 802.16
standard, amended this January by the IEEE to cover frequency
bands in the range between 2 GHz and 11 GHz, specifies a
metropolitan area networking protocol that will enable a
wireless alternative for cable, DSL and T1 level services for
last mile broadband access, as well as providing backhaul for
801.11 hotspots. The new 802.16a standard specifies a protocol
that among other things supports low latency applications such
as voice and video, provides broadband connectivity without
requiring a direct line of sight between subscriber terminals
and the base station (BTS) and will support hundreds if not
thousands of subscribers from a single BTS. The standard will
help accelerate the introduction of wireless broadband
equipment into the marketplace, speeding up last-mile
broadband deployment worldwide by enabling service providers
to increase system performance and reliability while reducing
their equipment costs and investment risks. Overview of the

APERTO
Aperto Networks
has been a leading contributor to IEEE 802.16 and ETSI
HiperMAN standards, making sure that key technical features
such as QoS and link adaptation enhancements were supported to
stringent carrier requirements. Aperto Networks was the first
company to deliver IEEE 802.16-class systems in 2000.
The combination of standards completion in
March 2003, official launch of the WiMAX Forum in late 2003,
Aperto pushed forward to the development of PacketMAX – one of
the first systems submitted for WiMAX certification. These
efforts provide a solid base contributing to the ongoing
development of WiMAX products now with outdoor fixed and
indoor installed subscribers based on IEEE 802.16-2004 and
evolving to portable and mobile systems based on IEEE 802.16e
in the future.
Technical Firsts:
First to
implement a carrier-class QoS profiles (up to 16 service
flows) to support simultaneous voice and tiered data services.
First to enable up to six different adaptive link
parameters per subscriber for high throughput, peak
performance, and interference resilience.
First to support
a medium access control (MAC) scheme using burst mode time
division multiple access (TDMA) that can scale from a few
users to hundreds per sector.
First in the industry to
over enhanced IP networking functionality such as virtual LAN
(VLAN) support, IP routing, and Dynamic Host Configuration
protocol (DHCP) server.
Pre-WiMAX
broadband wireless providers have often been constrained by
low-level networking and interoperability issues – limiting
their service offerings to raw bandwidth and basic Internet
access. These providers are realizing that while the new WiMAX
standard helps ensure compatibility, it does not by itself
result in an optimized solution that satisfies the whole range
of operational and subscriber requirements. Aperto’s
industry-leading PacketMAX™ infrastructure permits service
provides to focus on their key business: offering competitive
and profitable services. PacketMAX lets providers
differentiate themselves from their competition by delivering
the broadest array of services architected around a fully
optimized WiMAX solution.
Aperto PacketMAX is
specifically designed to enable service offerings that drive
revenue. These services include:
Voice
Can
voice be the “killer app” for WiMAX? There is good reason to
believe that many users will utilize fixed wireless voice as
their lifeline to the outside world. PacketMAX systems
leverage Aperto’s unique quality of service (QoS) features to
delivering best-of-breed voice service offerings. For more
information, Contact Traderock at www.traderock.com .
TDM
Despite the current trend toward IP convergence,
demand for TDM services is still growing. The need for
providers to deliver mobile voice and data drives expenses
upward and increases operational complexity by requiring rapid
deployment of new cell sites to handle the increased traffic.
Many large and midsize enterprises have sizable investments in
TDM-based systems for private voice, and must continue to
provide high-quality service. Leased-line costs can account
for up to 30% of operational expenditures for mobile operators
backhauling cell site traffic. PacketMAX technology can
dramatically lower these costs by effectively emulating
circuit-switched services over the lower-cost WiMAX link. For
more information, Contact Traderock at www.traderock.com .
Internet Access
Internet access is an indispensable
part of any service providers’ portfolio. However, customers
differ widely with regard to their precise bandwidth
requirements, their desired level of service, and their cost
sensitivity. PacketMAX can help operators tailor specific
services to the needs of the customer, extracting the maximum
revenue for basic Internet access. For more information,
Contact Traderock at www.traderock.com .
Differentiated Offerings
The term “convergence” is
quickly becoming a synonym for providing all services over the
wireless link, whether fixed or mobile. This means a single
operator needs to supply voice, video, and data services to
multiple end users simultaneously. In the case of multiple
dwelling / tenet units (MDU / MTUs), the challenge is even
greater because of the need to differentiate multiple end
users attached to the same subscriber station. The PacketMAX
system can help overcome convergence challenges. For more
information, Contact Traderock at www.traderock.com .
Video
There has been some speculation in the industry
about whether WiMAX can deliver video traffic profitably.
PacketMAX systems help operators leverage the well-developed
IPTV ecosystem, enabling an end-to-end solution for live or
streaming video. PacketMAX technology overcomes bandwidth /
spectrum challenges to provide a multichannel video service.

Aperto®
Network’s PacketWave® point-to-point product line features a
number of advanced technologies, several of which were
introduced to the point-to-point wireless market for the first
time by Aperto.
Link distance and spectral
efficiency are two of the most fundamental values in any
point-to-point wireless product, and Aperto excels at both of
them. Aperto’s Link Distance is one of the longest available
in its price range. The system gives the operator the choice
to use a variety of antenna types, thus enabling even larger
link distances with higher gain antennae. Aperto’s Spectral
Efficiency (or how many bits it can pack in the available
bandwidth) is one of the best in the industry. Up to 20
non-overlapping channels are made available in the 125 MHz of
spectrum in the 5.8 MHz ISM band, as compared to the 4-6
channels available in most other products.
The
PacketWave point-to-point product offers a unique feature that
enables the operator to synchronize multiple co-located
point-to-point links. This enables the operator to do the
following:
Re-use the same channel in multiple
co-located links, under the constraint that any two links are
separated from each other by at least 90 degrees. For example,
using a single 6 MHz channel, the operator can put up four
point-to-point links at a single location.
If there are
multiple channels available, then several links can be
co-located, under the constraint mentioned above.
Aperto uses a number of technologies
to make the wireless link more robust to multipath and
interference, including:
ARQ or Automatic
Re-Transmissions
Adaptive Coding and Modulation
Automatic Frequency Selection
Antenna Diversity
Working together seamlessly, these
technologies enable the system to keep operating smoothly,
even with packet error rates as high as 5-10%. This enables
the system to operate in OLOS/NLOS environments, as well as in
crowded license exempt frequency bands where Interference is
an un-avoidable fact of life.
Aperto is
alone among broadband wireless vendors in offering a Flexible
Channel Size, which can vary from 6 MHz down to 4 MHz. In
license exempt bands, it increases the number of available
channels and makes it easier for the operator to find clean
chunks of spectrum in a crowded environment.
In
addition several tools are provided to facilitate the
configuration and management of each base station system (i.e.
base station, each channel and all SUs served by this base
station). Those tools include:
The Advanced
Installation Manager to facilitate quick installation and
initial configuration of the point-to-point units. This tool
also enables the installer to correctly point the antenna, by
plotting the received signal and SNR levels. Note that this
pointing can be done at either end of the link.
The
Web-based Graphical User Interface for remote monitoring and
configuration of the point-to-point units.
The Upgrade
Manager (UM) for software upgrade support
SNMP
These tools provide all functionalities to the
service provider to configure, manage, control and monitor
each of PacketWave systems.
An
intuitive GUI and powerful tools increase productivity of
network operations centers. With the ability to discover and
inventory equipment in real time, the WaveCenter EMS system
ensures fast deployment of Aperto equipment and provisioning
of customers. It also provides powerful tools to ensure robust
operation of the wireless network and network elements and
also accelerates the resolution of problems.
Centralized Network Management
WaveCenter EMS provides
full FCAPS (Fault, Control, Accounting, Performance, and
Security) capabilities making network information easily
analyzable thereby allowing the network administrator to make
fast, intelligent choices. Information is displayed in
intuitive screens while the underlying real-time and
historical performance data gathered from each device is
stored in a central relational database. WaveCenter EMS
includes an embedded SQL database so no additional software is
required.
Highly Scalable / Distributed
Architecture
WaveCenter EMS employs a highly efficient
IP-based distributed client/server architecture that can scale
to support networks that contain hundreds of thousands of
elements. Such scalability is achieved by distributing the
processing of EMS software modules (EMS Client, EMS Front End
Server, EMS Back End Server, and Relational Database) across
multiple server platforms.
Powerful
Configuration Capabilities
Templates can be created to
define commonly used configurations making it easy to quickly
rollout new equipment and customers. Modifications to
configurations can be made either to individual network
devices or “in bulk” to groups of network devices.
Timely Information Enables Rapid Response
WaveCenter
EMS provides administrators access to real-time information
displayed in either graphical or tabular form.
Network and RF performance parameters are closely
monitored to achieve maximum usage of wireless bandwidth and
to ensure all customers are receiving their intended service
levels.
Alarms and events are rapidly
processed. Within seconds of an actual alarm event, multiple
WaveCenter EMS clients can see this information allowing
administrators to rapidly deploy solutions even before the
service provider’s end users may have noticed there was a
problem
