related technologies.
What is it?
The IEEE 802.16 Working Group is the IEEE group for Wireless Metropolitan
Area Networks (WMANs), in particular Part 16: Air Interface for Fixed
Broadband Wireless Access Systems. The working group develops standards and
recommended practices to support the development and deployment of fixed
broadband wireless access systems.

802.16 Tutorial Frequency Domain Equalization for 2-11 GHz Broadband
Wireless Systems. In this tutorial we survey recent advances in frequency
domain equalization (FDE) for single carrier (SC) systems. SC modulation
systems have lower peak-to average-ratios than OFDM, and when combined
with FDE, their performance is at least as good as OFDM systems (in some
cases better); furthermore, they have the same reduced signal processing
complexity enjoyed by OFDM systems.

Technical information
The IEEE 802.16 Air Interface Standard is truly a state-of-the-art
specification for fixed broadband wireless access systems employing a
point-to-multipoint architecture. The initial version was developed with
the goal of meeting the requirements of a vast array of deployment
scenarios for BWA systems operating between 10 and 66 GHz. As a result,
only a subset of the functionality is needed for typical deployments
directed at specific markets. An amendment is almost finished to do the
same for systems operating between 2 and 11 GHz. Additionally, the IEEE
process stops short of providing conformance statements and test
specifications. In order to ensure interoperability between vendors
competing in the same market, the WiMAX technical working groups were
created by the leaders in IEEE 802.16 technology.

802.16a Standard and WiMAX Igniting Broadband Wireless Access (884Kb, PDF)
The 802.16 standard, amended this January by the IEEE to cover frequency
bands in the range between 2 GHz and 11 GHz, specifies a metropolitan area
networking protocol that will enable a wireless alternative for cable, DSL
and T1 level services for last mile broadband access, as well as providing
backhaul for 801.11 hotspots. The new 802.16a standard specifies a
protocol that among other things supports low latency applications such as
voice and video, provides broadband connectivity without requiring a
direct line of sight between subscriber terminals and the base station
(BTS) and will support hundreds if not thousands of subscribers from a
single BTS. The standard will help accelerate the introduction of wireless
broadband equipment into the marketplace, speeding up last-mile broadband
deployment worldwide by enabling service providers to increase system
performance and reliability while reducing their equipment costs and
investment risks. Overview of the IEEE 802.16a Standard, WiMAX and the
