Basics of WiMax

Basics of LTE
02-12-2010
MIMO antennas.
FDD TDD.
DL-peak: max 326,4 Mbit/s with 4x4 antennas, 172,8 Mbit/s with 2x2
antennas.
Average optimum cell distance 5km. Cell of 30km still works good, with a
little degradation. Cell of 100km is still acceptable.

This fact can be an advantage for WiMax, because when LTE has
arrived to the telecom market, WiMax will have already a solid market using it's
hardware. However, other technologies, like HSPA+, could decrease that
advantage. HSPA+ could compete with WiMax meanwhile LTE arrives...
BPS/Hz
S
Spectrum efficiency of HSPA, WiMax and LTE

As it can be seen in the figure above, HSPA R7 can compete with WiMax
R3 TDD in terms of BPS/Hz either in the download link or upload link.
3.2 Latency
There is a good difference in the latency of WiMax and LTE, and some
"real time" multimedia services will get benefit of this. Latency is a key point in
some online services, and if one wants to deliver these services in a good way,
he will need to pay attention to the Latency parameter. In some cases the signal
must arrive at its destination as soon as possible, in order to maintain a "real
time" sensation during the data exchange over the net.

Now, 3GGP has researched the next step of the net evolution: LTE. By
this reason, LTE seems to be the natural path to GSM and HSPA+. The
compatibility between LTE and the other 3GGP's predecessors will result in a
easy re-farming potential and in a easy upgrade possibilities. LTE is fully
integrated with 3GGP, so it is fully integrated with previous infrastructure and
protocols.
Roaming advantages

Vodafone.
China Mobile.
DoCoMo (2010-2011).
