DESCRIPTION
Broadband wireless access systems must adequately address the combined requirements of wireless and multimedia communications. On one hand, the system must allow users to share the limited bandwidth resource efficiently. This implies two criteria: maximizing the utilization of the radio frequency spectrum and minimizing the delay experienced by the users. On the other hand, the system is required to handle a wide range of information bit rates together with various types of real-time and non-real-time service classes with different traffic characteristics and quality of service guarantees. This presentation discusses the design and development of broadband wireless access systems with emphasis on how such systems can efficiently support disparate classes of multimedia traffic.
