Re: [STDS-802-16] WiMax coverage factors

I think that the fact that WiFi is bursty (memoryless) and has to perform initial acquisition for every packet could also be a factor compared with the “continuous reception” of WiMAX that provides also tracking options.

Hi All,
Since WiFi and WiMax could use a same Physical Modulation (OFDM) and same coding schema (BPSK, QPSK,QAM), could we say that the factor that make WiMax coverage much more greater that WiFi coverage is the Tx Power?
