 Introduction to
WiBro Technology

• WiBro, or Wireless Broadband, is the newest

variety of mobile wireless broadband access.

• WiBro technology is being developed by the

Korean Telecoms industry. It is based on the IEEE
802.16e (Mobile WiMax) international standard.
 History
• Korean based fixed-line operators KT,SK
Telecom were the first to get the licenses by
the South Korean government to provide WiBro
Commercially.

• Samsung had a demonstration on WiBro Mobile

Phones and Systems at the “APEC IT Exhibition
2006”.

• WiBro is comprised of two phases namely

WiBro Phase I and WiBro Phase II
 Why WiBro?
• Provide the way to use high speed internet service
not only in home but also in outdoor.

• Maximize the spectral efficiency

• Extend the service coverage

• Reduce the cost per bit

• Low power consumption at AT

• Faster handoff

 WiBro vs WiMax
• Physical Layer Differences.

• MAC Layer Differences-handoffs.

• Network architecture Differences.

 Advantages
• Low cost and High Data rate.

• The technology will also offer Quality of Service.

• The spectrum it uses is licensed and correspondingly

protected from un-licensed use.

• WiBro can be considered as “Mobile WiMax” which

can be used while the receiver is in motion.

• High network capacity

 Disadvantages
• The proprietary nature of WiBro and its use of
licensed spectrum that may not be available
across the globe may keep it from becoming an
international standard.

• Interference.
 Future Plans
• WiBro Expected to be widely deployed all over
the world in a few years.

• Some Telcos in many countries are trying to

commercialize WiBro.
