Description: WiMAX, or the IEEE 802.16 standard for broadband wireless access, is increasingly gaining in popularity as
a technology with significant market potential. This paper first provides an overview of the existing and
developing 802.16 standards and their key differences/applications. The PHY and MAC layers of a typical
WiMAX base station are then described. The associated implementation challenges faced by WiMAX
infrastructure developers, including performance/cost/flexibility trade-offs in the choice of silicon, are
clearly outlined. The paper then describes how FPGA-based system implementation can address these
challenges including the “accelerated time-to-market” requirement which is considered a key enabler for
early success in this market. As an example design, the physical layer implementation of the 802.16d
standard with Altera FPGAs and intellectual property (IP) is proposed.
