2. Abstract
The rapid evolution of wireless networking technologies has opened up new
possibilities for wireless delivery of voice and multimedia services. In
addition to the legacy GSM and current third generation (3G) mobile
networks, new broadband wireless access technologies such as PANs,
WLANs, WiMAX, Flash-OFDM, and DVB-H are emerging as alternative
means to provide services to mobile users. These technologies are also
offering possibilities for new players to enter the markets, inducing
competition and possibly threatening the businesses of established players.
For wireless service providing companies, government regulating agencies
and researchers, it is necessary to distinguish between these systems and
to be able to envision their differences and commons. In this presentation
Dr. Mohamed Nezami overviews these systems and the standards and
DRAFT
services that governed their emergence. Then he performs an analysis of
the emerging wireless technologies such as 3G and WiMax and their
m arket potential and their technical challenges.

IEEE 802.16-2004 Fixed WiMax
IEEE 802.16-2004 is a fixed wireless access technology,
meaning that it is designed to serve as a wireless DSL
replacement technology, to compete with the incumbent DSL or
broadband cable providers or to provide basic voice and
broadband access in underserved areas where no other
access technology exists:
• Developing countries
• Rural areas (DSLAMs does not make sense)
• backhaul for WiFi access points or potentially for cellular
networks,
DRAFT
• Can be used to provide much higher data rates and
therefore be used as a T-1 replacement option for high-
value corporate subscribers.

29. Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL):
– ADSL technology can deliver data upstream 640
kbps and downstream more than 6 mbps.
– ADSL uses that portion of the telephone line’s
bandwidth that is not utilized by voice, allowing
for simultaneous voice and data transmission.

IEEE 802.16e Mobile WiMax
IEEE 802.16e is intended to offer a key feature that
802.16-2004 lacks - portability and mobility. This
standard requires a new hardware/software solution
since it is not backward compatible with 802.16-2004

43. Concluding Remarks
• 3G will stay, WiMAX will make personal broadband a reality
• WiMAX will capture a market different from 3G
– Emerging markets will be at the forefront
– 3G operators will not, for once, be first adopters
– WiMAX is designed to cover large area (multiple homes/buildings),
while Wi-Fi is to cover small area (a home/building)
• 3G has a current time-to-market advantage for mobility solutions.
Proprietary vs. 802.16g based solutions will determine how long it
takes to incorporate mobility into 802.16.

M.K. Nezami, Ph.D./2007 Source [ ]
Concluding Remarks
• WiMAX was not developed to compete with cellular voice market.
• Delivers wireless broadband anytime, anywhere.
• Internet technology from the ground up.
• One common standard delivers a global platform for mobile Internet services
• 3G and WiMAX will compete, but also have to coexist
• The technology roadmap for cellular and WiMAX is converging fast towards OFDMA,
IP core, IMS
– Will we be able to keep cellular and WiMAX apart?
• 3G and WiMAX differ in their approach to wireless data:
– 3G is a voice technology moving towards data
– WiMAX is a data technology moving towards mobility
• Both 3G and WiMAX meet the requirements for wireless broadband
DRAFT
• Performance differences will not decide which technology is adopted and where
• The challenge for service providers is to understand which technology is better suited
to their needs

What is IMS?
• 3GPP IMS standards define a network domain
dedicated to the control and integration of multimedia
services.
• IMS is defined by 3GPP from Release 5 onwards
(2002).
• IMS is an Open-systems architecture that supports a
range of IP-based services over both wireless and fixed
access technologies.

48. What is IMS? User prospective
– Imagine starting a voice call on you home phone and
transferring it seamlessly to your mobile as you drive to work.
– Imagine sending a multimedia message from your car that
later appears on your TV screen.
Imagine watching a movie on that same TV, pausing it in mid-
show and then watching it on a wireless PDA as you relax in
the garden.
Imagine having a cell phone conversation with two or three
friends and simultaneously sharing a video of the football
match you are attending.
– Imagine that all of the above can be done with a single account,
on a single log-in with multiple devices over any number of
DRAFT
access networks.
– These are only a few examples of seamless multimedia
services that IMS will allow users to access “anywhere” at
“anytime”
M.K. Nezami, Ph.D./2007 Source [ ]
What is IMS? Provider prospective
– Imagine a network that allows operators to reduce CAPEX
though shared functionality and re-use of infrastructure for
multiple services.
– Imagine a network that allow Operators to reduce OPEX
through simplified architecture and that same re-use of
infrastructure for multiple services.
– Imagine a network that allows Operators to mix and match
services to address specific market segments and enable rapid
deployment of new products.
– Imagine a network that will allow operators to open up their
networks to 3rd parties in order to enhance tailored services to
their customers, and limit loss of customers to competitors
– Imagine a network based on open and well defined interfaces
DRAFT
that allows operators the freedom to buy components from
many competitive suppliers.
– Larger product portfolio, simpler / cheaper networks and more
flexible service offerings are only some of the reasons
operators are excited about IMS.

49. IMS IN 3G(R5) and 802.11e
Imagine a radio access network that provides
broadband access to users at home, in the office, in
areas under-served by wireline services and even to
users on the pause or on the move equipped with
portable devices like laptops, PDAs and smartphones.
WiMAX, which is based on IEEE 802.16e, can
provide a flexible radio access solution that offers
these features, based on an attractive full IP
architecture delivering the capacity required to
support wireless broadband services
