WiMAX Standards and Frequency Allocation
IEEE 802.16

• The WiMAX ForumTM is a non-profit industry
  forum, created to grant and certify compatibility
  and interoperability among IEEE802.16 based
  product from different vendors (equivalent to
  Wi-Fi for IEEE802.11)
• Works to achieve global acceptance works with
  regulators to promote global harmonization of
  WiMAX friendly spectrum
• Promotes the adoption of IEEE 802.16 compliant
  equipment by operators of broadband wireless
  access systems with marketing activities
• Siemens is a Principal Member in the WiMAX Forum
  since January, 2004

Portability

• Indoor / Outdoor
• DSL like service
• Service limited to installed area
• Device authentication and authorization only
• VoIP application supported

• User authentication
• Stationary or limited
• mobility
• Break-before-make BS handovers
• QoS degradation during handovers (no VoIP)
• Multi-operator roaming
• Interworking w/o seamless handovers
• VoIP application

• Optimized Make-before-break handovers
• (latency, QoS, data loss)
• Interworking w/ seamless handovers (session
  continuity)
• Optimized low-power operation
• VoIP service, IMS

• DSL like service from
• different points of attachment
• Stationary usage no BS handovers
• User Authentication
• Multi-operator roaming

Chipset for PCMCIA No handover

• Adds
• primitives for handover
• standard procedure for AAA

Chipset for Centrino Handset

• Intel is the main driver for WIMAX Integration
  in Centrino is the disruptive goal
• Present Focus is 802.16d for fixed wireless
  access (OFDM256 mode)
• Next Step will be IEEE802.16e standard
• Evolution towards portable/mobile application
  will follow
