WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of “last mile” wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable, DSL or T1/E1 service.
WiMAX is expected to provide fixed , nomadic, portable and, eventually, mobile wireless broadband connectivity without the need for direct line-of-sight (LOS) with a base station.
In a typical cell radius deployment of three to ten kilometers, WiMAX Forum Certified™ systems can be expected to deliver capacity of up to 40 Mbps per channel (depending on bandwidth of RF channel), for fixed and portable access applications.
Mobile network deployments are expected to provide up to 15 Mbps of capacity within a typical cell radius deployment of up to three kilometers.

Issue Multiplexing Method in Advantage
FDD TDD
Guard Band TDD FDD requires a guard band to separate the DL and UL channels which amount to a substantial loss in spectrum.
No guard bands are required.
Guard Time FDD No guard time is required at the end of DL transmission. However, guard time is required at the end of UL transmission because typically the SUs are HFDD units that need to turn around from Tx to Rx to receive the new BSU schedule information for the next downlink.
Guard time is required between Tx and Rx and vice versa. The guard time is equal to a unit’s turn around time plus the round trip delay. A unit’s turn around time is in the order of 50 us. The round trip delay is in the order of 66 us. Thus the round trip delay can absorb the transmitter’s turn around time whenever the direction of traffic switches. The loss in throughput due to guard time for a 5 ms frame is about 2%.
Frequency Plan and Reuse
FDD The adjacent channel interference is much lower than in a TDD scheme.
Frequency planning is required only for one channel. If all TDD-based systems are synchronized to GPS, using the same frame size and DL/UL partitioning can mitigate interference.
Comparison of TDD & FDD for WiMAX
IssueMultiplexing
Method in Advantage
FDD TDD
Hardware Cost
TDD
FDD requires one transmitter and a separate receiver. Further a diplexer and shields are required to isolate the DL and UL.
As the transmitter and receiver use the same filters, mixers etc the cost of a TDD scheme is substantially less than an FDD scheme.
Dynamic Bandwidth Allocation
TDD
Once the channel bandwidth is granted by the regulator the UL/DL allocation cannot be modified. This leads to unused spectrum for asymmetric operations such as Internet traffic.
Where cell interference is not a problem, adaptive UL/DL allocation allows dynamic bandwidth allocation for UL and DL traffic. This is especially important for Internet traffic.

= (90%) x (50%)= 0.45 Over subscription Factor (OSF) : 1/0.45 = 2.222 (i.e for every second 450mSec is used , which means we can replicate the total number of
RTUs by 2.22 x times or it can serve for 2.2 x 520 = 1144 wells)
Due to actual air-time usage and activity, the required throughput utilized is (Total_Link_Throughput)/(Oversubscription Factor) (58,240 Kbps)/ 2.222 = 26,208Kbps or 26.208 Mbps
Premise of WiMAX Network Design for SCADA Communication
Objective : To design the cell site with 10Km coverage radius and be able to exceed the data rate requirement of 26.208Mbps. Then the network is said to be over-subscribed.

Choice of OFDM Parameters for Channel Bandwidth
Single sub-carrier baud rate = 1/(66 μ sec) =15.152 KBaud. Total Data Channel baud rate = 192 * 15.151KBaud = 2.909MBaud As a large portion of PDU (Physical Data Unit) is allocated for Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC),
Forward Error Correction (FEC), and /or Convolution Coding.
There are two convolution rates per modulation rate yielding 8 different modulation levels as follows:
(1) BPSK ½ (2) BPSK ¾ (3) QPSK ½ (4) QPSK ¾ (5) 16QAM ½ (6) 16QAM ¾ (7) 64QAM 2/3 (8) 64QAM ¾ ½, 2/3 and ¾ refer to the fraction of the PDUs allocated for actual user data; the rest is
management, CRC bits Net usable throughput for 3.5MHz RF channel for various modulation scheme is as follows:
For BPSK ½ : 2.909 Mbps x ½ = 1.45 Mbps For 16QAM ½ : 11.636 X ½ = 5.82 Mbps For QPSK ½ : 5.818 Mbps x ½ = 2.909 Mbps For 16QAM ¾ : 11.636 X ¾ = 8.73 Mbps
In practice, bandwidth tends to be lower by 5% to 7% for a general point-to-point link.
