WiMax Forum Details Improvements to Mobile WiMax Spec

Jun 16, 2010, 12:31 PM by Eric M. Zeman

The WiMax Forum recently unveiled a slew of improvements it hopes to make to the IEEE 802.16e Mobile WiMax specification. The four main areas where the Forum hopes to bolster WiMax include: better uplink/downlink budgets to help with WiMax cell edge performance; a 70% improvement in spectral efficiency and possible doubling of peak data rates; and methods for reducing signal interference within and among cell sites. These improvements can all be achieved through software upgrades. The WiMax Forum believes the additions to the standard should be approved soon enough for equipment to be ready for ratification by the end of the year.
