What is 802.16m?
802.16m is a technical specification for high -speed wireless broadband networks. It is one of the several standards of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) 802.16. The technologies described 802.16 are also known as worldwide interoperability for access to microwave (Wimax ™). These technologies use mobile phones and computers for bidirectional sound, video and internet communication. Services also use them to transport internet, television and telephone services to households and businesses. The official standard name is Wirelessman®, but has been commercialized to Wimax ™. The most commonly implemented Wimax ™ technology at the end of 2000 was the release of Wimax ™. It is based on the 802.16-2004 standard for fixed devices and a change of 802.16E-2005 for mobile devices. This standard was revised by Again for both fixed and mobile devices such as 802.16-2009. It also increases the theoretical speed of mobile data to 100 Mbps. Edition 2 is based on a specification of 802.16m and is also known as Wirelessman-Advanced®. Like earlier specifications 802.16, it standardizes the control of the media and the physical layers of wireless technology. Wimax ™ broadband certification is managed by Wimax Forum®, non -profit wireless industrial alliances.
before 802.16 and 802.16m was the most commonly implemented wireless standard IEE 802.11, also known as Wi-Fi ™. Its technology was first developed in 1997 and was primarily designed for wireless networks of local areas (LAN). 802.11 is local technology without connecting all users randomly compete for the width of the access point band. On the other hand, 802.16 is a long -range connection system that does not allow the user to transmit while the driver is given by the channel. 80.
Wimax ™ and 802.16m are designed to be alternatives to the digital subscriber line (DSL) and cable internetho services. Their aim is to provide voice internet protocol (VoIP), television and mobile broadband access to air waves. Wimax ™ with a fixed device can also provide a fast network infrastructure for otherwise feasible places.
The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) approved 802.16m as an international mobile telecommunications technology (IMT) at the end of 2010. The standard is backward compatible with Wimax ™ versions. This means that existing users should be able to communicate with 802.16m E Equipment.
