• Uses MIMO
 (Multiple-input multiple-output)
 WI-FI IN HOMES (TO AVOID CABLES )
• A facility allowing computers, smartphones, or other devices communicate
with one another wirelessly.
• Access points , router and modem in single device.
WHAT IS WI-FI HOTSPOTS?
 Wireless access point that provide
internet access to mobile devices.

 HOME NETWORKS

• People set up a home network is to share a broadband Internet connection with


multiple computers, television , and cellphones.

• Media streaming

• Data sharing
 COMPONENTS OF HOME
ENTERTAINMENT NETWORK

• Install a network • Allocate media storage  • Connect the TV 


router 
 WI-FI NETWORKS FOR VOICE OVER IP(VOIP)

• Voice over wireless LAN (VoWLAN, also VoWi-Fi) is the use of a


wireless broadband network according to the IEEE 802.11 standards for the
purpose of vocal conversation.
 ADVANTAGES

• Can make calls without the need for a mobile signal .


• VoWiFi enables free calls from overseas locations.
• VoIP over wireless smart phones can save companies money
 QUALITY AND CAPACITY ON WIFI HOME

• IEEE specified the WIFI multimedia (WMM 802.11e Standard in 2004).


• Priortizing packets base on type of service , such as voice or video.
• 802.11e wifi multimedia standard is intented to prioritize video traffic in home
entertainment network.
 SEAMLESS ROAMIMG BETWEEN
CELLULAR AND WIFI NETWORK.
• Cellular networks always have greater coverage than WiFi, it is assumed that
a cellular network is always available when users steps out of theWiFi coverage area.
• As more and more handsets are both cellular and WiFi enabled, it is then made
possible to have voice roaming between two different networks.
 One handset for calls over wifi and cellular network.
 Same data device in wifi and cellular network .
Broadband Wireless Access

 Provides similar capabilities as DSL , cable


modems and other broadband technologies using
wireless media rather then cabling.
Broadband, Wifi, Dial-up

 Think about how you access the


Internet today. There are basically
three different options :

• Broadband access 
• WiFi access 
• Dial-up access 
WiMax Technology

 Also known as IEEE 802.16


 The high speed of broadband service
 Wireless rather than wired access
 Broad coverage
WiMax Wireless Network

 WiMax system consists


of two parts :
Two Types of WiMax Services

Line Of Site Non Line Of Site


Two main amendments to IEEE
802.16

 802.16d :
 Designed for fixed wireless service

 802.16e :
 A proposed amendment for Mobility
Security build into the Standard

 Security provisions are included in the standard so


that organizations that implement it don’t have to
wait for upgraded security standards
Hurdles to wider deployment

 Different spectrum and power level requirements worldwide :

 Regulatory working group

 Complex Standard :
 No equipment meeting the standard
 Complexity
Adapting 3G for Wireless Broadband Access
WCDMA

 Wideband Code Division Multiple Access


 Communications standard used in 3G mobile networks.
 High-speed data transmission
 Support broadband Internet services
 Capacity to easily handle bandwidth intensive applications.
Time Division Duplex (TDD)

 The TDD technique is used in IEEE


802.16 WiMAX.
 In this duplex method, uplink and
downlink transmissions are carried over
the same frequency band. Thus, time
slots in a physical channel are divided
into transmission and reception.
Universal Mobile
Telecommunication System (UMTS)

 3G broadband transmission of text, digitized voice, video, and


multimedia.
 Data rates up to 2 megabits per second (Mbps).
 Based on the Global System for Mobile (GSM) communication
standard.
TDD for Broadband Wireless Access

 BWA deploys TDD for fixed wireless access


 TDD achieves high data rate by using the same frequency band for
sending and receiving
 Efficient
 Portability
 Voice over IP
SOMA Network

 Provides a packetized wireless local loop service


that replaced broadband cable and DSL service.
 Designed for circuit switched voice , fax and as
well as high speed data.
