Co-operation Agreement ETSI - WiMAX
• WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) mission:
– Promotion of BWA systems (operating between 2.5 and 66 GHz)
– Certification of interoperability for products from multiple vendors
• ETSI and WiMAX have a common interest
– to perform and promote standardization with the aim of a global information
infrastructure
– in avoiding duplication of technical work
• ETSI and WiMAX co-operate for profiling, testing and certificating of
– HiperMAN (and for further enhancements to HM)
– HiperAccess (if HA and WirelessMA-SC closer aligned)
• WiMAX will use with permission
– conformance test specifications developed by ETSI BRAN
– expertise of ETSI PTCC

Overview: HiperAccess and HiperMAN
•
•
•
Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) topology
Interoperability (testing is normative part of standard)
Standard allows for vendor-differentiated products, e.g.,
- management,
- core network interfaces,
- ARQ,
- broad range of cellular constellations
- security,
- bandwidth allocation strategies, ...
•
Spectrum efficient (both for IP and ATM core networks)
•
Dramatic improvements compared to 1G/proprietary systems
