COMPARARTIVE COMPONENTS OF
LTE AND WIMAX
II.
LTE
LTE system entails of Radio Link Control
(RLC), MAC, PHY, Radio Resource Control
(RRC) and Transceiver. These are associated with
logical, transport, physical channels. Physical layer
transport channels compromise communication to
MAC or higher channels. LTE logical channels are
offered by MAC.

4) SATELLITE DISH
c) External modems
A USB flash drive can also cat as a WiMAX
access point. USB devices mode opts this kind of
service for the internet access.USB can provide
connectivity to a WiMAX network through what is
called a dongle [14].
B. WIMAX
Components which are related to WiMAX are
described below [11].
a) Subscriber Station
Subscriber Station is one who provides
connectivity to WiMAX technology. They are also
termed as SS. The SS can be used in the following
item sets
1) Hand Sets (Much similar to the smart
phones)
2) PC cards or USB dongles
3) MP3 players
b) Gateways
A gateway allows you to transfer the data from
one end to another. Service providers in India like
BSNL, Airtel, Idea, and Reliance are the major
vendors for such kind of services. WiMAX
gateway devices are available in both indoor and
outdoor versions from several manufacturers
including Vecima Networks, Alvarion, Airspan,
ZyXel, Huawei, and Motorola [12]. In addition to

d) Mobile phones
HTC announced the first WiMAX enabled
mobile phone, the Max 4G, on November 12,
2008.WiMAX is a supplement to the IEEE
Standard 802.16-2004 [15]. There were around 1.7
million pre-WiMAX and WiMAX customers in
Asia - 29% of the overall market - compared to 1.4
million in the USA and Canada [16].
e) Triple Play
WiMAX supports technologies that offer triple
play services. On May 7, 2008 in the United
States, Sprint Nextel, Google, Intel, Comcast,
Bright House, and Time Warner announced a
pooling of an average of 120 MHz of spectrum
and merged with Clearwire to market the service
[18].
f) IEEE 802.16 Standard
WiMAX uses IEEE 802.16 Standard.
SOFDMA (used in 802.16e-2005) and OFDM256
(802.16d) are not compatible thus equipments will
have to be replaced if an operator is to move to the
later standard (e.g., Fixed WiMAX to Mobile
WiMAX).
g) Integration with IP based network
