WiMAX
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access Brand licensed by the WiMax Forum. “a standards-based technology enabling the delivery of
last mile wireless broadband access as an alternative to cable and DSL”
WiMAX was seen as more of a Metropolitan Area Network (MAN) technology providing a much larger coverage.
Based on IEEE 802.16

WiMAX
WiMAX, in fact, comes in two forms, a so called ‘fixed WiMAX’ and a ‘mobile WiMAX’.
WiMAX in its fixed form is seen as a possible alternative to expensive cable and fibre deployment.
It is faster to deploy and less expensive and it also offers operators more flexibility in terms of deployment time frame and possible installation areas.
3G or other cellular network operators could see this as a potential substitute or as a complement to their cellular product.

Wi-Fi
Stands for Wireless Fidelity. Brand licensed by the Wi-Fi Alliance. Wi-Fi is a local area network technology that was
originally thought to replace the thousands of miles of LAN cables.
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLAN) Based on IEEE 802.11

Wi-Fi Wi-Fi has grown from being just a LAN cable
replacement technology to a public wireless access technology.
Cheap and readily available equipment.
WiFi has been viewed as complementary to 3G and other mobile standards as it has worked to enhance mobile services offered by operators.
It’s coverage is not as great as that of 3G, but it gives a much higher transmission rate than mobile technology.
Handoff between WiFi access points is still not possible and, therefore, it is known more as a wireless access technology than a mobile technology.

New developments are taking place within the 802.11 standardization group
With the increasing popularity of VoIP, many see WiFi as one of the possible means of using VoIP with some form of mobility
802.11r for wireless VoIP and other real time applications
802.11s for meshed WiFi networking
Making WiFi more mobile could make it more of a substitute to mobile technologies

Scalability
Channel bandwidths can be chosen by operator (e.g. for sectorization)
1.5 MHz to 20 MHz width channels. MAC designed for scalability
independent of channel bandwidth
MAC designed to support thousands of users.
Wide, fixed (20MHz) frequency channels
MAC designed to support 10’s of users

Quality of Service (QoS)
Grant-request MAC
Designed to support Voice and Video from ground up
Supports differentiated service levels: e.g. T1 for business customers; best effort for residential.
TDD/FDD/HFDD – symmetric or asymmetric
Centrally-enforced QoS
Contention-based MAC (CSMA/CA) => no guaranteed QoS
Standard cannot currently guarantee latency for Voice, Video
Standard does not allow for differentiated levels of service on a per-user basis
TDD only – asymmetric
802.11e (proposed) QoS is prioritization only
