In a networked scenario organisations often need several people (may be at different locations) to input and process data simultaneously. In order to achieve this, a computer-networking model in which a number of separate but interconnected computers do the job has replaced the earlier standalone-computing model. By linking individual computers over 4 7 Network Fundamentals a network their productivity has been increased enormously. A most distinguishing characteristic of a general computer network is that data can enter or leave at any point and can be processed at any workstation.

  • Analysis of Wifi and Wimax and Wireless Network Coexistence
    International Journal of Computer Networks & Communications (IJCNC) Vol.6, No.6, November 2014 ANALYSIS OF WIFI AND WIMAX AND WIRELESS NETWORK COEXISTENCE Shuang Song and Biju Issac School of Computing, Teesside University, Middlesbrough, UK ABSTRACT Wireless networks are very popular nowadays. Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) that uses the IEEE 802.11 standard and WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) that uses the IEEE 802.16 standard are networks that we want to explore. WiMAX has been developed over 10 years, but it is still unknown to most people. However compared to WLAN, it has many advantages in transmission speed and coverage area. This paper will introduce these two technologies and make comparisons between WiMAX and WiFi. In addition, wireless network coexistence of WLAN and WiMAX will be explored through simulation. Lastly we want to discuss the future of WiMAX in relation to WiFi. KEY WORDS WiMAX, WiFi, wireless network, wireless coexistence, network simulation 1. INTRODUCTION With the development of multimedia communication, people need wireless broadband access with higher speed, larger coverage and mobility. The emergence of WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) technology met the people's demand for wireless Internet to some extent. If wireless LAN technology (WLAN) solves the access problem of the "last one hundred meters", then WiMAX technology is the best access solution of the "last mile". Though WiMAX is an emerging and extremely competitive wireless broadband access technology, the development prospects of its market is still unknown. Hybrid networks as a supplement to cell based or IP packet based services, can fully reflect the characteristics of wide network coverage.

There are new points of view on how to communicate effectively over wireless channels from this research drive. The purpose or aim of this paper is to study the basics as well as new research developments. We studied four types of wireless communication technology that are Bluetooth, Cellular, Wi-Fi and WiMAX in this paper. we have described architecture and working of these technologies to understand them easily. we have concluded which one is the best through comparative study and analysis. KEYWORDS: WIRELESS COMMUNICATION, BLUETOOTH, WI-FI, WIMAX, CELLULAR. 1. INTRODUCTION With the rapid development of communication technologies, future wireless communication systems should support voice, data, audio/video, multimedia, interactive games, and Internet traffic. A potential solution for this is to make the wireless communication network and the broadcasting network converge to form a unified convergence network. Wireless communications is, by any measure, the fastest growing segment of the communications industry. [1] As such, it has captured the attention of the media and the imagination of the public.

  • The Architectural Differences Between LTE and Wimax
    The architectural differences between LTE and WiMAX Tingnan Bao (841229-1737) School of Information and Communication Technology KTH Stockholm, Sweden 16453 [email protected] Abstract—the paper presents the modern communication technology in wireless network, LTE and WiMAX. The system architectures between LTE and WiMAX network will be shown. In addition, a comparison of the system architecture and the air interface of these two networks will be discussed. The paper further concludes with discussion of these two aspects and gives the short look into the future 4G networks. Keywords— LTE; WiMAX; 4G;system architecture; air interface I. INTRODUCTION With the development of high-speed mobile broadband access technology, there are two emerging technologies: Long Term Evolution (LTE), which is developed by 3rd Generation Partnership Project (3GPP) and WiMAX, standardized by the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE). Both of them have similar goals, specifically to provide high data rate wireless network connection for cell phones, laptops, and other electronic devices. Nevertheless, the system architecture of these two is different, so that the scope of applications, network services, market positions differ. During November 2004, 3GPP launched the LTE project, which focuses on enhancing Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (UTRA) and optimizing 3GPP’s radio access architecture in order to compete with WiMAX. [1] In this standard, LTE is referred as the Evolved Packet System (EPS), purely IP based, which divided into two parts: the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) and the Enhanced-UMTS Terrestrial Radio Access Network (E-UTRAN). However, LTE is also described as 3.9G as the first release of LTE did not fulfill ITU’s requirements for 4G, such as the peak data rates up to 1 Gb/s.
