Broadband Internet access Broadband Internet access anywhere, anytime is the ultimate challenge for the telecommunications industry Wireless technology for sure will have a significant contribution in realization of broadband access How to approach it? done ongoing started long way to go! 1. Extension of wired network with wireless LAN 2. Integration of W-LAN W with wireless cellular systems 3. Development of wireless MAN to complement W-LANW 4. Eventual incorporation of all advanced wired and wireless technologies through a common core network with interoperability functions for seamless connectivity (4G/NG) 11

Network heterogeneity Heterogeneous environment means Different data rates at the physical layer Different physical layer characteristics (BER, congestion, ) Different mobility management due to different size of cells (less handoff versus higher data rate) Therefore, the next generation wireless systems are expected to face two main constraints: Heterogeneity in physical access network Change of applications from commonly low data rates into more bandwidth demanding real-time and multimedia ones Then How to achieve a guaranteed QoS? How to effectively satisfy resource and security management? 17
Past trends in broadband mobile data Inclusion of mobility features in basically non-mobile IP by introduction of Mobile IP and IPv6 protocols Use of Wireless LAN in Extension of wired networks mobility and scalability Economically and technically feasible for limited scale Development of better security and traffic control techniques (Temporal Key Integrity Protocol TKIP; Wi-Fi Protected Access WPA; and eventually IEEE 802.11i) Extension of cellular networks bandwidth in hotspot areas Supplement low date-rate of cellular networks significantly where they are most needed Boost the affordability, usefulness, competency of 3G cellular Take advantage of IP-oriented W-LAN W and its security improvements to close the gap between cellular and IP networks (that is, CS and PS) 18
More recent trends 19 Introduction of a new bunch of IEEE standards after the popular 802.11 W-LANW IEEE 802.11 The wireless local area networks family 802.11 W-LAN at 1 or 2 Mbps in 2.4-GHz band, FHSS/DSSS 802.11a W-LAN extension to 54 Mbps in 5-GHz 5 band, OFDM 802.11b same as 802.11 with CCK rather than PSK modulation for support of 11 Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band (AKA Wi-Fi Fi) 802.11g W-LAN for 20+ Mbps in the 2.4-GHz band, shorter range but compatible with the 802.11b 802.11e adding QoS features and multimedia support, critical to wireless home networks for video on demand, audio on demand, voice over IP and high-speed Internet access 802.11i adding Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) security protocol to 802.11, stronger level of security than the current Wi-Fi Protected Access security standard see: www.ieee802.org/11/
Other IEEE 802.xx standards 20 IEEE 802.15 The wireless personal area networks 802.15.1: was adapted from the Bluetooth specification and is fully compatible with the Bluetooth 1.1 TG4 (low rate): provides data speeds of 20 Kbps or 250 Kbps TG3 (high rate): supports data speeds of 11 Mbps to 55 Mbps Features: : Use of up to 254 network devices, dynamic device addressing, support for devices in which latency is critical, full handshaking, security provisions, and power management There will be 16 channels in the 2.4-GHz band, 10 channels in the 915-MHz band, and one channel in the 868-MHz band. Plans to refine the 802.15 specification to work with the Specification and Description Language (SDL), particularly SDL-88, SDL-92, and SDL-2000 updates of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) recommendation Z.100 see: www.ieee802.org/15/
Other IEEE 802.xx standards IEEE 802.16 The wireless metropolitan area networks Originally published in December 2001, specified fixed point- to-multipoint broadband wireless systems operating in the 10-66 GHz licensed spectrum An amendment, 802.16a, approved in Jan. 2003, specified non-line line-of-sight extensions in the 2-112 GHz spectrum, delivering up to 70 Mbps at distances up to 31 miles Further amendment, 802.16e, is expected to enable connections for mobile devices Commercialization through WiMax Forum 21 see: www.ieee802.org/16/
Other IEEE 802.xx standards IEEE 802.20 Mobile Broadband Wireless Access Developing a packet based air interface standard that is optimized for the transport of IP based services for mobile BWA systems operating in licensed bands below 3.5 GHz Targeting peak data rates of over 1 Mbps per user at vehicular speeds to 250 km/hour see: www.ieee802.org/20/ IEEE 802.21 Handover and interoperability issues Developing standards to enable handover and interoperability between heterogeneous network types including both 802 and non 802 networks see: www.ieee802.org/21/ 22
The last mile communication link Purpose: Bridging the critical connection linking homes and businesses with their Internet service providers A chain is only as strong as its weakest link Data slowdown in the last mile of networking can impact the entire web browsing experience and limit the performance of promising services such as video on demand and multimedia-filled web connections WiMax vision: To blanket sections of cities and rural areas that are not wired for broadband, or to provide an alternative to wired connections in places that are connected. WiMax competes directly with local phone and cable companies wired offerings, such as DSL, cable modems and leased lines 23
WiMax simplified A service provider sets an 802.16a WiMax transceiver atop an antenna tower. Height gives the line-of-sight service better range and coverage. The signals reach the client s transceiver either directly or, in some cases, by bouncing off smooth surfaces. However, bounced signals are more error prone, and thereby have a much-reduced effective throughput. The received WiMax signal is decoded and unencrypted, and the payload extracted. Ethernet traffic is bridged to a standard local area network, such as a wired Ethernet router for an enterprise network, or to a Wi-Fi access point to support nearby mobile users. Within a few years, expect to see WiMax transceivers built directly into Wi-Fi access points, to allow them to serve as turnkey Wi-Fi hotspots. They may even be built into portable computers to let them tap directly into the WiMax network. 24
Slow growth of broadband US: 21% of homes and 51% of business had broadband access in 2003 In most of Europe broadband penetration sits between 10 and 20 percent In South Korea, in 2002, 43% household had broadband access as a result of the government promoted competition between different broadband technologies In Hong Kong broadband penetration reached 36% One reason is that homes and businesses generally need to be less than three miles from the local telephone exchange for a reliable (DSL) connection 25
Problems with DSL In US, the tough market competing with Cable TV DSL s limited range: no more than 5000 meters for business customers and as low as 3600 meters to homes For sparsely populated areas it is economically unfeasible So in US Verizon and some other large telephone companies have been testing wireless last mile A 200-square square-km service area costs a DSL provider over $11 million to serve, compared to wireless at $45,000 In countries such as United Kingdom, because of old telephone infrastructure rolling out DSL is difficult 26
BWA examples Test-bed examples of BWA where DSL was not possible, either economically or technically October 2002, Owensboro, Kentucky: Local electricity and water provider, Owensboro Municipal rolled out a high-speed broadband service to the city s 58,000 residents at US $25 a month, $2 more than the local low-speed dial-up August 2002, Klamath Falls, Oregon: A small start-up company, Always On Network, Inc. began serving up broadband to 30 test customers A test bed by British Telecom in Campsie,, a tiny village in Northern Ireland BT uses unlicensed spectrum to transmit broadband Internet access signal from radio towers to small antennas on customers homes (an earlier version of WiMax) 27
Case studies by industry Towerstream,, Boston Over 12 cells servicing greater Boston with 90% coverage Over 500 business at 5.8 GHz, 1 to 8 Mbps SLA Broadcast Communications Ltd, New Zealand Nationwide 74 base stations 30,000 to 100,000 connections High speed links at up to 50 km distance Each CPE to deliver 2 Mbps ADSL wirelessly and up to four 64 Kbps TDM voice lines Unwired, Sydney Covering most parts of Sydney metropolitan area at competitive price with wired DSL 28
WiMax The IEEE 802.16 Standard WiMax: : Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access The latest, and most-hyped, generation of fixed wireless technology Differentiates from earlier broadband wireless access (BWA) iterations by standardization. Currently BWA chipsets are custom-built for each BWA vendor Similar to Wi-Fi Alliance, WiMax Forum would bring interoperability and thus plug-and and-play products WiMax would succeed in every geographic market, but for different reasons, in either way, it will become an inexpensive means of delivering high-speed data In emerging markets for low cost voice transport and delivery In developed markets for broadband Internet access 29
WiMax (cont.) IEEE 802.16 wireless MAN is expected to provide broadband wireless Internet access for neighbors, villages, and cities similar to what was done by IEEE 802.11 wireless LAN standard for homes, coffee shops, airports and offices The first IEEE 802.16 standard published in April 2002. To define the wireless MAN air interface as an alternative to traditional wired connections for homes, small business and commercial buildings A non-profit consortium of companies known as WiMax Forum, San Jose, CA, was created to spur commercial development pf 802.16 products by ensuring their interoperability 30
WiMax Forum A non-profit organization comprised of broadband wireless access system manufacturers, component (silicon, RF, antenna) suppliers, software developers and carriers Promote WiMax brand identity and WiMax-Certified equipment to drive interoperability Based upon IEEE 802.16 and ETSI HiperMAN standards Founded in April 01 Founded in conjunction with the original IEEE 802.16 standard for 10-66 GHz applications In Jan 03, the Forum started efforts to cover the IEEE 802.16a standard for < 11 GHz As the 802.16x standard evolves, the WiMax Forum will evolve with it Over 90 members and growing rapidly (representing over 90% of sub-11 GHz BWA equipment sales) 31
WiMax (cont.) Wireless base station equipment targeted at under US $20,000 to economically serve up to 60 customers with high-speed connections of at least 1 Mbps Also 802.16 can connect 802.11 hotspots to the wired Internet backbone Supporting point-to to-multipoint data connections in the 10-66 GHz range, 802.16 transmits at data rates of up to 120 Mbps This range requires line of sight, so base stations would be on roof of buildings Connected to a wired backbone and then transmits wirelessly over up to 50 km to large number of stationary stations 32
WiMax (cont.) To accommodate non-line line-of-sight, IEEE published 802.16a in Jan 2003 It operates in licensed and unlicensed (either 2.4 or 5 GHz) frequencies between 2 GHz and 11 GHz using OFDM similar to 802.11a and 802.11g 802.16b is still under development by IEEE and should use the licensed 11-66 GHz band 802.16 MAC supports different physical layer specifications Every base station dynamically distributes uplink and downlink bandwidth to subscriber stations using TDMA, completely different from 802.11 MAC which uses carrier- sensing mechanisms that don t provide effective bandwidth control over the radio link 33
IEEE 802.16 Standards 802.16 Line of sight 802.16a/REVd Non line of sight 802.16e Non line of sight Status of Standard Dec 2001 802.16a: Jan 2003 802.16REVd: Q3 04 Spectrum 10-66 GHz < 11 GHz: 2.5, 3.5 GHz licensed Aggregate Bit Rate 32 134 Mb/s in 28 MHz of spectrum 5.8 GHz license-exempt Up to 75 Mbps in 20 MHz of spectrum Mobility Fixed Fixed outdoor & indoor Estimate Q1 05 < 6 GHz Up to 15 Mbps in 5 MHz of spectrum Portable/Mobile Channel Bandwidth 20, 25 and 28 MHz Flexible channel bandwidths between 1.25 and 20 MHz Same as 802.16a with more sub-channels for low power Typical Cell Radius 1-3 miles; up to 5 miles. 3 to 5 miles; Max range 30 miles based on tower height and topography 1-3 miles 34
Wi-Fi and WiMax Wi-Fi is a great technology for wireless networking, but Still tightly tethered to a wired infrastructure conventional DSL, cable-modem, leased line, or dial-up links to an Internet service provider WiMax is coming to add the short wireless connectivity and to revolutionize the last-mile service delivery for broadband homes and businesses WiMax will compete against DSL, cable, and dial-up for homes and businesses WiMax protocols make efficient use of bandwidth and also allow it to carry many different types of traffics not just TCP/IP but also ATM and voice traffic; also allows for strong encryption for user s data privacy 35
Wi-Fi WiMax: : Clear differences WiMax is not an extension of Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a LAN standard under IEEE 802.11 standard for indoor use, to distribute Internet access to a bunch of home and office computers WiMax is a wireless replacement for a wired broadband connection; i.e. a new way of getting Internet access into home or office, more cheaply and easily than usual wires of telephone The two standards use different chip sets and different schemes for QoS and security They may or may not operate in the same regions of the radio spectrum They operate with different assumptions about radio environments where they work WiMax is ideal for a fixed point-to to-multipoint network, but inappropriate for a LAN 36
Wi-Fi WiMax: : Competition? One reason of misunderstanding is the new activities in the Wi-Fi standard; the new standard IEEE 802.11n created in Sept. 2003 to increase Wi-Fi data rate to over 100 Mbps (not very permissible to see it before mid-) For 802.11 there is always a trade off between date rates and distance: Longer distance Lower data rates Competition between Wi-Fi and WiMax would be minimal Wi-Fi devices are omnidirectional,, finding access points wherever they are WiMax devices typically face an access point, a base station Wi-Fi users are expected to hear each other and defer transmission if the network is busy WiMax users transmit only when instructed by the base station 37
802.16 and 802.11 Standards 802.11 802.16 Technical Range Optimized for 100 meters Add access points or high gain antenna for greater coverage Optimized for typical cell size of 7-10 km Up to 50 km range 802.16 PHY tolerates the greater multi-path delay spreads caused by distance Coverage Optimized for indoor environments and users within 100m of each other Optimized for outdoor environments (trees, buildings, users spread out over distance) Standard support for advanced antenna techniques & mesh 802.16: 256 OFDM (vs. 64 OFDM) Mesh option part of 802.16 spec Scalability Channel bandwidth is wide (20 MHz) and fixed OK for small cell sizes Channel b/w is flexible from 1.5 MHz to 20 MHz for Metropolitan Area cell planning Accommodates both licensed and license exempt bands Macro cell planning (MAN) has different requirements than micro-cell (LAN) planning Bit rate 2.7 bps/hz peak data rate; Up to 54 Mbps in 20 MHz channel 3.8 bps/hz peak data rate; Up to 75 Mbps in a 20 MHz 5 bps/hz bit rate; 100 Mbps in 20 MHz channel Slightly higher modulation scheme yields slightly higher data throughput QoS No QoS support today 802.11e working to standardize QoS designed in for voice/ video, differentiated services 802.11: contentionbased MAC (CSMA) 802.16: grant request MAC 38

WiMax development WiMax will evolve in two stages 1. Starting last year with products that cost and function like current BWA equipment. No increase in total fixed market, but a gradual migration from proprietary equipment to WiMax equipment (mainly 802.16a: fixed) 2. Once 802.16e (portable MAN) is approved: embedding WiMax in laptops and other mobile devices; a potential competitor to 3G, so that WiMax and Wi-Fi complement one another Future laptops and PDAs would be built with chip sets for both standards 802.11 and 802.16 40
Other innovative technologies 41 ZigBee: : The technology that coordinates communication among thousands of tiny sensors, through its radio standard Sensors can be scattered throughout offices, farms, or factories, picking up bits of information about temperature, chemicals, water, or even motion (smart dust) Designed to use little energy so they can be left is place for 5 to 10 years Communicate very efficiently, passing data over radio waves from one to the other like a bucket brigade At the end of line, the data can be dropped into a computer for analysis or picked up by another wireless technology like WiMax Philips and Motorola are going to make ZigBee-based products
Other innovative technologies The current version of WiMax can t be used while in moving; future versions of WiMax will support mobile networks too Mobile-Fi will be available in two or three years and it provides broadband access to fast moving users sit in a train or in a car UWB, IEEE 802.15 on the other hand is for short distance broadband data transfer. For example while Mobile-Fi receives high-speed data to a laptop in the trunk, UWB pull that information up to a handheld computer in the front seat These technologies attracted over $4.5 billion in venture investments over the past five years! 42
Conclusions The development trend of future mobile networks has been separated into two distinct ways: Cellular based moving from CS to PS and all IP-based IP-oriented standards oriented around IEEE 802.1x and 802.2x No matter how these rather exclusive directions develop, the future of mobile data will hang around a heterogeneous solution that will include both approaches From security point of view, new security techniques should aim at higher layers of the network in order to be aligned with the heterogeneous nature of the future networks Bandwidth and resource management of large number of network users will eventually push W-LAN W and W-MAN W standards into licensed spectrum 43
Key features of future mobile networks Improved radio technology and antennas smart antennas, beam forming, multiple-input input multiple-output (MIMO) space division multiplex to increase capacity, benefit from multipath software defined radios (SDR) use of different air interfaces, download new modulation/coding/... requires a lot of processing power (UMTS RF 10000 GIPS) dynamic spectrum allocation spectrum on demand results in higher overall capacity Core network convergence IP-based, quality of service, mobile IP Ad-hoc technologies spontaneous communication, power saving, redundancy Simple and open service platform intelligence at the edge, not in the network (as with IN) more service providers, not network operators only 44
