A COMPARATIVE STUDY OF
WiMAX AND LTE
Importance
Mobile device and mobile networks are more
popular
More data required
People want to access internet from anywhere
Services like IPTV increase the need for high data
rates
As demand increased, current telecommunication
networks reach their limits
Solution-next generation networks like WiMAX and
LTE

An overview of current telecommunication networks

Worldwide interoperability for microwave access
IEEE 802.16d standard in 2004 – fixed wireless
internet service
Enhanced version IEEE 802.16e in 2006- Mobile
wireless access
Managed by WiMAX forum for interoperability of
different products
Supports transfer rates up to 46 Mbps in DL and
4 Mbps in UL
Hanie Salim (B080021EC),NIT calicut
19/09/20115
Supports scalable system bandwidth using time
division duplex(TDD)
So it can use 3.5,5,7,8.75 and 10 MHz as BW
Supports both TDD and FDD, prefers TDD
Maximum coverage is 50 km for fixed usage and 5km
for mobile usage
Support vehicular speed up to 120 kmph
2 major releases-WiMAX release 1.0 and release 2.0
Hanie Salim (B080021EC),NIT calicut
19/09/20116

Access service network(ASN) & Connectivity service
network (CSN) mobility for mobility support
Paging & location management
IPV4 & IPV6 connectivity

QoS for WiMAX:
Reservation based access
Use frames, each frame -2
sub frames
Duration 2 to 20 ms
Flexible ratio for DL/UL
WiMAX frame

Use OFDMA in DL & UL
OFDMA- multi-user ver. Of OFDM
Advantages of OFDMA –high spectral efficiency,
efficient implementation using FFT & low sensitivity
to time synchronization errors
scalable by flexibly adjusting FFT sizes & channel BW
with fixed symbol duration and subcarrier spacing
Sensitive to frequency sensitive errors

3 power saving classes- different on-off time
• Class 1 - window increase exponentially from
minimum value to maximum
• Class 2 - fixed sleep window length
• Class 3 – MS know when to expect next packet
Security sub layer present under MAC layer
Extensible Authentication Protocol (EAP)
Privacy and Key Management protocol (PKM)
Encapsulation protocol
Hanie Salim (B080021EC),NIT calicut
19/09/201111
Use MIMO technology to increase transfer rate
2 categories:
• Open loop MIMO- the transmitters do not need
explicit knowledge of the channels
• Closed loop MIMO- transmitter forms antenna
beams adaptively based on the channel side
information (Tx AA)
Logical entities of NRM
• Access service network(ASN)
• Connectivity service network (CSN)

Long term evolution-developed by 3GPP in 2008
LTE standard is officially known as “document 3GPP
Release 8” Or 3.9G
Supports peak data rates of 100 Mbps in DL & 50
Mbps in UL, using 20 MHz spectrum
With MIMO it can reach up to 300Mbps
Variable spectrum 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 15 and 20 MHz
A cell radius 100 km with slight degradation after 30
km and reach over 200 users per cell (with 5 MHz
spectrum)

Optimized for low speeds 0 - 15 km/h , supports
speeds up to 350 km/h.
RTT below 10 ms possible.
Use OFDMA in DL & SCFDMA in UL
OFDMA - power inefficient, because of high peak-to-
average-power ratio (PAPR)
Since DL start from BS no problem, But UL start from
MS ,hence SCFDMA (low PAPR)

Architecture:
Two-node architecture - only two nodes are involved between user equipment & core network.
The base station (eNodeB) & the serving gateway (S-GW) in the user plane and the mobility management entity (MME) in the control plane.
LTE architecture is composed of Core Network (CN) and Access Network (AN), where CN corresponds to the Evolved Packet Core (EPC) and AN refers to E-UTRAN.
The CN and AN together correspond to Evolved Packet System (EPS)

LTE overall architecture

EPS connects user to Packet data network(PDN)
Functions of MME- CN node signalling for mobility
between 3GPP access networks, S-GW selection,
roaming, authentication, bearer management functions
and NAS (Non Access Stratum) signalling
S-GW terminates the interface towards E-UTRAN.
For each user in EPS, at given time, a single S-GW is
responsible for transferring user IP packets, lawful
interception & mobility anchor for inter eNodeB
handover and for inter-3GPP mobility.

Power-saving mechanisms: turn off the transmitter
when idle.
• It uses Discontinued Reception (DRX) & Discontinued
Transmission (DTX).
Security mechanisms : similar to WiMAX
• use security keys between transmitter &receiver to
ensure a secure connection .
• LTE also offers a key derivation protocol, which resets
the connection if corrupt keys are detected.

QoS:
Reservation based access
Each frame is 10 ms long
The 0th and the 5th sub frames are always reserved for DL
Other frames can be DL, UL or a switch point
This switch point method makes the transmission more dynamic in allocating resources

Comparison

Use OFDMA in both DL
and UL
Frame is separated into DL
and UL sub-frame allocate
resources to different users
Duplex mode only TDD is
commercially available
Backward compatibility to
3G/2G not present
Use SCFDMA in UL and
OFDMA in DL
From 10 sub-frames only 2
are reserved for DL, more
dynamic, so they reach
smaller delays.
Both FDD & TDD
Inter radio technology
handover possible
