Cellular networks are not designed for high bandwidth data transfer for simultaneous users. Instead it is used for voice communication.It supports mobility.
There are three standard networking in wireless communication.WLAN: For an office or home. Small coverage and high data rate
Typical AP has range of 30-50m indoors and 100m outdoors. With directional antennas(P2P) kilometers of range can be reached.
CSMA is used to prevent collusion of different user access.
WiFi to support different devices - IEEE 802.11 family
540Mbps with IEEE 802.11
WMAN: Larger coverage than WLAN using subscribers and base stations.
1-4km coverage.
WiMAX to support different devices.
Mesh Mode: Subscribers help each other when NLOS is observed.
Ubiquitous: Ready in everywhere and every time.
135Mbps data rate for LOS users but it decreases when mobility support is concerned.
WWAN: Satellites are used in this network.
15km and upper coverage.
16-18Mbps IEEE 802.22
Data rate drops when coverage increases.
WWAN and WLAN uses lower frequency. NLOS WMAN is also lower.
Integration of these networks will be result in better BWA.
