WiMAX NLOS Features

WiMAX NLOS Features

1. Abstract While many technologies currently available for fixed broadband wireless can only provide line of sight (LOS) coverage, the technology behind WiMAX has been optimized to provide excellent non line of sight (NLOS) coverage. WiMAX’s advanced technology provides the best of both worlds – large coverage distances of up to 50 kilometers under LOS conditions and typical cell radii of up t...

Fixed Mobile Convergence (FMC) Architectures for Broadband Access: Integration of EPON and WiMAX

Many of the features of EPON and WiMAX are complementary. In [1] we proposed four basic architectures for the integration of EPON and WiMAX, which employs an EPON as a backhaul to interconnect multiple WiMAX base stations. The integration takes advantage of the high capacity of fibre communication as well as the mobile and non-line of sight (NLOS) features of wireless communication. In this art...

Evaluation and Performance Analysis of Propagation Models for WiMAX

Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is the latest broadband wireless technology for terrestrial broadcast services in Metropolitan Area Networks (MANs). WiMAX has potential success in its line-of-sight (LOS) and non line-of-sight (NLOS) conditions which operating below 11 GHz frequency. Estimation of path loss is very important in initial deployment of wireless network and c...
