Ghanshyam Pandey, Piyush Singh, Gourav Shrivastava . OFDM based Foreign Agent for Communication between Wired and WIMAX Network. International Journal of Computer Applications. 68, 18 ( April 2013), 18-25. DOI=10.5120/11679-6455
In Wireless technologies are able to provide mobility and portability that makes it more attractive as compared to wired technologies. WIMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a telecommunications protocol that provides fixed and fully mobile internet access. Wired network refers to interoperable implementations of the IEEE 802. 3 and WIMAX which refers to interoperable implementations of the IEEE 802. 16 wireless-networks standard. A LAN (wired) is a data transmission system designed to provide location dependent network access between computing devices by using a cable infrastructure. The radio range and data rate of WIMAX are much better then Wired network but, on the basis of cost WIMAX is expensive. Now this paper proposed a new hybrid network that is the communication between two different technologies on the basis of Foreign Agent (FA), Home Agent (HA) and Mobile Host (MH). Now the FA is worked as a interface in between wired and WIMAX network and FA is connected with wired network to synchronize the communication with WIMAX, first the request is goes to FA then to network. The combinations of these two technologies are not very expensive and also better than wired. In previous there is no such work done on Wired-WIMAX hybrid network. Their performance will be measure on the basis of performance metrics.
