Mobile WiMAX PHY layer (RF) operation and measurement

This application note is intended for engineers developing and testing mobile or subscriber stations (MS or SS) and their components, based on the IEEE 802.16e OFDMA amendment to the 802.16-2004 standard. These devices are intended for the Mobile WiMAX market.

Adding user mobility features to the conventional OFDM signal used in 802.16d for Fixed WiMAX, introduces substantially more flexibility in the way that the radio signals are constructed. Mobility features give the network operator the freedom to adapt the operation of the base station to specific requirements of the physical location. It also introduces many variables that need to be understood and tested at several levels—from basic parametric tests to end-to-end performance evaluation.
