Project abstract
Project’s aim is the analysis and performance evaluation of broadband wireless access advanced systems for frequencies below 6 GHz. In particular, in collaboration with Siemens Communications S.p.A., a WiMAX cellular system has been analyzed considering two physical layers of IEEE802.16d/e standard, OFDM with subchannelization and S-OFDMA. The system performance is avaluated in terms of cell radius, coverage and throughput. The impact of advanced transmission techniques, i.e the adaptive allocation of transmission resources and the use of adaptive antenna array systems, on system performance is also analyzed. Work in progress. The analysis of the performance improvement expected by the use of advanced transmission techinques in cellular scenarios is under investigation.
