Re: [WISPA] Alvarion 3.65ghz NLOS as good as 900mhz?

2010-04-20 Thread Chuck Bartosch
I have no experience with 802.16e, but have lots with 802.16d.

16d does not support MIMO. However, even without MIMO, we are ripping out 
900/5.x and putting in Alvarion .16d. The diversity alone gives it penetration 
characteristics equal to or better than 900. WiMax does cost more, as we all 
know, but it also supports more clients (we're projecting close to 200 per base 
station. I hope we're right... ;-). We can't put it in where 900 is serving 
just a few customers.

We did not find that WiMax in general was better than 900. The key isn't WiMax, 
per se, but diversity antennas. Performance is *helped* by being 3.65 WiMax but 
that alone does NOT obviate the need for 900 in our experience. Diversity is 
key.

Re: [WISPA] Alvarion 3.65ghz NLOS as good as 900mhz?

2010-04-20 Thread Tom DeReggi
Yes but. Diversity does not necessarilly yield the same percentage 
improvement in bands like 900Mhz as it does in 2.4, 3,6 and 5.8.

When we field tested Aperto Pre-Wimax in 5.8 a few years back, we learned a 
bit on Polarity diversity. Aperto had a really cool tool that measured both 
pols side by side, and you could watch the Polarity shift in varying amounts 
over time (combined with effects from fade and multipath), by watching the 
RSSI change on each polarty individually and having it graphed. It was 
amazing to see how much it varied between pols and how much it changed over 
time (meaning seconds), a huge amount. It was a sure testimonial for benefit 
of Pol diversity in reflective areas, in low noise areas. (note we chose not 
to use it because in high noise congested areas it was more important to 
have polarity isolation to enable more channel use and avoid noise, and at 
the time we thought AP was to expensive for a 6mhz channel).  WaveRider 
replicated the idea in 900Mhz with their peanut shaped diversity CPE, 
understanding that polarity rotated as obstacles were hit.  But I'm not sure 
that we really noticed that much improvement in our Waverider 900Mhz 
diversity trials. Again, polarity isolation yielded so much more benefit 
than the minor benefit 900 showed with pol diversity.  I do not know whether 
Alvarion 16.d uses pol or spatial diversity or other more complex method. 
But what we learned from Chuck's trials was that what ever it was, it made a 
huge difference in his 3.65 diversity trials.

My point here is that Diversity can make a huge difference, diversity is 
the differenciator, but that the benefit of diversity can vary dependant on 
the Freq used and environment tackling, based on past experience.

Without looking up the math on this, I would speculate that the reason is 
wavelength. At 3.65 we're about 4' apart. To get the same advantage at 900 MHz 
I'd willing to bet you might need to be quite a bit further apart-which isn't 
practical in most cases. I'm not willing to say it scales with wavelength (not 
without looking at the actual equations that is) but wavelength is going to be 
a factor in how effective diversity is at any given distance between two 
antennas. On the other hand, moving the antennas further apart at lower 
frequencies should be able to re-create the advantage.

Re: [WISPA] Alvarion 3.65ghz NLOS as good as 900mhz?

2010-04-20 Thread Jeremie Chism
On the motorola webinar today they talked about the benefits of  
diversity and had comparisons between 900 3.65 part d and motorola's  
320. Of course I understand the 90 percent of what they probably said  
was a stretch of the truth. They had a guy in Florida that tested all  
three and the 320 made links that the others couldn't.  They cited the  
benefit of Mimo from multipath and reflection and said the benefits in  
certain frequencies were more prominent than lower frequencies.

Just putting what was said out there.

All I can say is that the effects of a lower modulated customer on my  
alvarion system seem to have a more profound impact on the system than  
what I have seen so far on 3.65. Granted I've only had the wimax up  
for 8 months and that's the only data I have to go on.

 There is no protocol design that can achieve that. A TDD system is a

 high traffic demand (not low traffic or small bursts) have low

 system based on bandwidth is in place them all of the users will still
 suffer; if a fairness system based on time-slots is in place they
 won't get the service you promised them. There is no free lunch.

 I've run a 3.5 GHz WiMAX system with 3.5 MHz channels and the base
 station was always complaining the system was too oversubscribed;
 guess what, it was right, we were trying to serve more than feasible
 CIR/MIR traffic on those BSTs. Having a rule that only QAM16/QAM64

All I can say is that the effects of a lower modulated customer on my  
alvarion system seem to have a more profound impact on the system than  
what I have seen so far on 3.65. Granted I've only had the wimax up  
for 8 months and that's the only data I have to go on.

 suffer; if a fairness system based on time-slots is in place they
 won't get the service you promised them. There is no free lunch.

 I've run a 3.5 GHz WiMAX system with 3.5 MHz channels and the base
 station was always complaining the system was too oversubscribed;
 guess what, it was right, we were trying to serve more than feasible
 CIR/MIR traffic on those BSTs. Having a rule that only QAM16/QAM64
 stations were allowed improved this problem a lot.

 wimax is engineered to handle some of this better than my alvarion

Re: [WISPA] Alvarion 3.65ghz NLOS as good as 900mhz?

2010-04-19 Thread Jeremie Chism
I guess the other situation that I am not taking into account is that  
because of no interference every other sub I have is modulating at qam  
64 3/4 and packet loss is sitting at 0.004% instead of what the  
alvarion 900 deals with.

 There is no protocol design that can achieve that. A TDD system is a
 population of time slots; if a bunch of users (not just a couple) with
 high traffic demand (not low traffic or small bursts) have low
 modulation, it will talke more time slots to serve them. If a fairness
 system based on bandwidth is in place them all of the users will still
 suffer; if a fairness system based on time-slots is in place they
 won't get the service you promised them. There is no free lunch.

 I've run a 3.5 GHz WiMAX system with 3.5 MHz channels and the base
 station was always complaining the system was too oversubscribed;
 guess what, it was right, we were trying to serve more than feasible
 CIR/MIR traffic on those BSTs. Having a rule that only QAM16/QAM64
 stations were allowed improved this problem a lot.

 I am not using alvarion 3.65 but I am using wimax. I have a couple
 customers with lower modulation because of non line of site  
 situations
 and have seen no impact on the entire system in general. Supposedly
 wimax is engineered to handle some of this better than my alvarion  
 900.

 That would only be true if the data services are somewhat
 purpose-specific and not Internet access. Doing what this vendor  
 told
 you would seriously affect aggregate performance of the cell because
 of low rate modulation of the NLOS and/or distant customers.

 If you are doing sensor networks or POS connection you will be fine
 with all those BPSK/QPSK customers, indeed.
