Tiivistelmä
WiMax stands for the Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access and is also known as the IEEE 802.16 wireless metropolitan area network. Along with the development of mobile communication and broadband technology, WiMax has become a hot spot for global telecom operators and manufacturers. In 1998, a working group named 802.16 was formed by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), and their responsibility is to develop the specifications of broadband wireless access technology.
WiMax promises to deliver the Internet throughout the globe, and connect the "last mile" of broadband wireless connectivity services.
This thesis is a technical and application analysis of Wimax, and it is understandable and useful to readers who do not want to worry about functions and technical particulars. This thesis analyzes the different historical stages of the wireless communication, from 1G in the past to the most popular 4G nowadays. Starting from the broadband wireless access technology developing rapidly, it expounds the WiMax technology and its applications, focusing on the WiMax network system, key technologies (MIMO, OFDM, OFDMA) and application solutions. Finally, by comparing WiMax with the popular WiFi, 3G and LTE (TD-LTE) in the market, it analyzes the current situation and future development trend of WiMax in terms of the differences in technology and application.
