3.  Great customer demand for wireless communication.  Momentum of the wireless market.  Customers demand for wireless communication anytime, anywhere. Wireless necessity

4. WiMAX WiMAX - known as IEEE 802.16, refers to a wireless digital communication system. WiFi WiFi - known as IEEE 802.11, uses high frequency radio signals to send and receive data over short distances. WiMAXWiFi Supports handoff - mobility Managed 1.5 km in urban area Metropolitan area network (MAN) Does not support handoff ~100 m coverage area Local area network (LAN)

6.  Neither Technology Makes Possible The Best Available Network at All Times.  In Areas That WiFi Has Already Proven Itself as a Good Solution WiMAX May Not Be Able to Compete.  Latency  Bandwidth  Mobility  Cost

7. WiMAX Base Station WiFi Access Point Handoff among heterogeneous wireless access network technologies.

8. Time In WiFi Battery WiMAX Resources Signal Strength WiMAX WiFiWiFi The Decision Function returns the protocol to which the host should connect to:

10.  Last two years - WiFi technology and Decision Function were implemented. focusing- implementing the WiMAX technology  This year focusing- implementing the WiMAX technology.

12. Admission Control - Determines if a new call request is granted, or rejected. Scheduler - Allocates bandwidth according to BW request from MSs. MAC layer PHY layer OFDMA technology allows using several sub-channels simultaneously with high spectral efficiency. Synchronized frames between the base station and the hosts.
