Abstract
Explosive innovations are sweeping the telecommunications industry worldwide as appetite for bandwidth keeps growing unabated. Several reasons are contributing to this trend:
(a) growth of the Internet and Internet-based applications,
(b) increased dependence of digital transmission even for analog applications, and
© a global trend toward deregulation.
Nowhere is this trend more marked than in the so-called last mile local loop bottleneck. The rapid rise in the popularity of Web-based applications is driving industry to build the infrastructure needed to bring high bandwidth, or "broadband," communications to the home. A fixed broadband wireless access (BWA) system is being offered to the public as a choice for the last mile of access. This paper discusses the niche occupied by BWA systems and presents a tutorial introduction to physical and medium access control layers, and the radio page link protocol requirements.
