- Abstract
- Based on the IEEE 802.16e-2005 standard, mobile WiMAX is designed to transport higher data rates and scalability, lower costs, and reduced network complexity. As the latest new technology to be added to the IMT-2000 set of standards, mobile WiMAX is expected to be one of the market-leading technologies for the wireless broadband access. But current wireless broadband access market is already dominated by the competitive technologies of mobile WiMAX, such as EV-DO and HSPA. Therefore mobile WiMAX is in the situation which is not easy to expand its market. Because mobile WiMAX, compared with similar technologies, has it own merits and demerits, mobile WiMAX can have a chance of success in both mobile voice market and mobile broadband access market when its characteristics are sufficiently analyzed and considered. So far, great attention has been shown to the question of this issue, but there has been minimal research. This paper examines the characteristics of mobile WiMAX and the prior conditions of the successful survival of mobile WiMAX in the market. Finally, this study will attempt to select the suitable region or country to deploy mobile WiMAX technology.
