WiMAX™, HSPA+, and LTE: A Comparative Analysis
An earlier WiMAX Forum® white paper provided a very detailed description and performance analysis for WiMAX™ [Ref 1] and a follow-on white paper [Ref 2] provided a comparative analysis of WiMAX with 3G enhancements, EV-DO through Rev B and HSPA through 3GPP Rel-6. For WiMAX™ performance projections, both of those papers assumed a baseline configuration based on the WiMAX Air Interface Release 1.0 profiles. As was described in the earlier white papers, the WiMAX Release 1.0 system profile represented a subset of the features and functionality supported in the IEEE 802.16e-2005 Air Interface Standard. In this paper we consider some of the additional 802.16e-2005 supported features or enhancements for the air interface that have been approved or are being considered by the WiMAX Forum for inclusion in the next step in the backwards compatible WiMAX migration path, WiMAX Air Interface Release 1.5.
