Predictions abound on the growth of mobile data traffic driven by smart phones and tablet PCs that come with an expectation of broadband Internet connectivity everywhere and a demand for high quality video. The FCC's National Broadband Plan indicated that mobile data traffic in North America would increase by roughly 20 to 45 times between 2009 and 2014, and current data suggests these numbers may...
The spread of mobile connectivity is generating major social and economic benefits around the world, while along with the rapid growth of new telecommunication technologies like mobile broadband communication and M2M (Machine-to-Machine) networks, larger number of various base stations will be employed into the network, which will greatly increase the power expense and CO2 emission. In order to degrade...
In this paper, we present our approach of establishing a Mobile WiMAX test bed as a part of our collaborations with the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) for studying the performance of current and upcoming broadband wireless technologies in a railroad environment. The focus is on studying the impact of mobility on the wireless system throughput for moving trains at high velocities. We describe...
IEEE 802.16j is defining standards for Multihop Relay (MR) networks. With many low cost Relay Stations (RSs), a Base Station (BS) can diminish the radio range but extend the coverage by RSs. Besides, frequency can be reused in different RSs. When using real-time services in an 802.16j MR network, fixed bandwidth is allocated to each intermediate hop along the path between the MS and the MR-BS. The...
Employing multiple TFRC connections has emerged as a promising lightweight way of coping with wireless channel losses in a congestion-controlled tandem network. This work extends multiple TFRC connection streaming to broadband uplink streaming. This study differs from earlier work for a number of reasons: it reports on a specific wireless technology, IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX); it considers the impact on...
WiMAX is the latest technology that has promised to offer broadband wireless access over long distance. The throughput of wireless communication such as WIMAX depends on number of parameters. These parameters include: packet size, transmission rate, signal to noise ratio, modulation techniques and channel conditions. All these variables are discussed using simulation, certain graphs have obtain optimum...
In this paper, we report on a mobile broadband wireless access (MBWA) system field trial with fast low-latency access with seamless handoff orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (FLASH-OFDM), which was carried out at Sendai city in Japan. This paper discusses the feasibility of uplink transmission with the maximum modulation level of 64 QAM, using the measured uplink throughput performances when...
Mobile WiMAX has been introduced for next generation broadband wireless access systems, and it has been designed to provide various multimedia services through highspeed wireless Internet access. However, since IEEE 802.16e standard, international standard of mobile WiMAX, defined only hard handover as mendatory, Mobile Station (MS) cannot transmit or receive packets during handover procedure. Thus...
To provide high speed connections for a large numbers of users in moving vehicles, a new broadband mobile network should be considered to go on the research to complement the lack of high data rate support from the existing 3G. Following this trend, authors introduce a design of a broadband microcellular network MM-MAN (mobile multimedia metropolitan area network) that can offer mobile users in a...
In this paper, we report on a mobile broadband wireless access (MBWA) system field trial with Fast Low-latency Access with Seamless Handoff Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (FLASH-OFDM), which was carried out at Sendai city in Japan. In this paper, the uplink throughput improvement effect of 16 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is estimated by using the measured throughput and received...
Wireless network operators often offer wireless broadband services by using different wireless technologies such as WiMAX, WiFi and HSPA. Each wireless technology often uses a separate and stand alone network architecture, and thus operations and management may easily become a complex and expensive task. In this paper we present the design and implementation of an all-IP heterogeneous network where...
The WiMAX standard has emerged to harmonise the wide variety of broadband wireless access (BWA) technologies. The recent mobile WiMAX standard (802.16e) supports broadband applications to mobile terminals and laptops in urban environments. Mobile WiMAX supports a full range of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) techniques including space time block coding (STBC), spatial multiplexing (SM) and eigen-beamforming...
A dynamic resource allocation algorithm with beam steering is evaluated for providing broadband wireless access to mobile users of the emerging IEEE 802.16 m air interface standard. Thanks to our design, the coverage area and total throughput may be significantly enhanced, compared to the current IEEE 802.16 e standard. Our proposed solution supports high mobility, improves fairness among the users...
As the world moves into wireless communication times, there is an increasing demand for reliable, low-power, cost-effective, easy-to-access storage that can still provide adequate performance for multi-userspsila information retrieval. However, there is no current wireless system adequately fulfills all of these requirements of storage service. Wireless AP (access point) and router system provide...
Traditionally, every mobile station (MS) riding in the mobile vehicle uses conventional connection to the base station (BS). However, in 802.16j mobile multihop relay (MMR) networks, one of the studied usage model is ldquocoverage on mobile vehiclerdquo. Therein, a relay station (RS) is mounted on a vehicle. The RS provides service to MSs riding on the vehicle by relaying their data to the mobile...
In this paper, we report on a mobile broadband wireless access (MBWA) system field trial with Fast Low-latency Access with Seamless Handoff Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (FLASH-OFDM), which was carried out at Sendai city in Japan.

Whilst currently available speeds on Mobile 3G Networks are comparable with many fixed broadband carriers, RTT is still away from the values achieved in fixed NWs. There is still significant room for improvement of latency in 3 G NWs to provide the best quality of experience for broadband services, therefore, latency is a key parameter that should be taken into account in future 3G NW configurations...
