MODELING WIRELESS NETWORKS: WI-FI, WIMAX, LTE, 5G, AND HALOW

Main Article Content

Abstract:

The sphere of wireless communication technologies develops swiftly and continues to usher in high-speed transmission, low-latency, and multi-connection opportunities in a broad range of applications. This review article conducts a comparison of the modeling approaches of key wireless systems such as Wi-Fi, WiMAX, LTE, 5G, and IEEE 802.11ah (HaLow) in the domains of architecture, frequency spectrum, channel modeling, data rates, mobility support, and simulation environments. It identifies some major distinctions in physical layer structure, modulation schemes, propagation environments, and performance specifications.. The review also makes available to the user recommended modeling tools for accurately simulating experiences in wireless networks, such as NS-3, MATLAB, OMNeT++, Simulink, etc.
