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

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. For
Aperto is committed to delivering
standards based WiMAX solutions to market. Aperto’s solutions

(ATCA) specifications
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

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 IEEE 802.16a
