I visited with Nokia-Siemens networks in Barcelona, Spain at the beginning of the month. The advanced wireless network or SDWN, smart distributed WBB network, has been a long anticipated direction for the industry; a necessary development in order to deliver 4G/IMT-Advanced capabilities. The work in both IEEE 802.16m/j and LTE-Advanced has pursued development of a layered approach to networks that can include smart sensors, MESH and other distributed networking methods. 802.16 has considered MESH networking starting around 2001 but it has taken the needs of achieving higher bandwidth, better cell edge and other coverage, and for the MIMO-AAS combined with scalable OFDMA design methodology to develop to move this forward in a substantial way as part of the standards. LTE adopts much of the same technologies used in WiMAX and both efforts now contribute to advanced network developments.
