2.7 Performance Characterization
So far in this chapter, we have provided an overview description of the WiMAX broadband wireless standard, focusing on the various features, functions, and protocols. We now briefly turn to the system performance of WiMAX networks. As discussed in Chapter 1, a number of trade-offs are involved in designing a wireless system, and WiMAX offers a broad and flexible set of design choices that can be used to optimize the system for the desired service requirements. In this section, we present only a brief summary of the throughput performance and coverage range of WiMAX for a few specific deployment scenarios. Chapters 11 and 12 explore the link-and system-level performance of WiMAX is greater detail.
