For example, a base station (BS) employing spatial division multiple WiMAX is the first cellular standard that access (SDMA) can send multiple data streams employs OFDMA technology and provides true to multiple subscriber stations (SSs) simultane- integrated services for both fixed and mobile ously on the same time-frequency resource, broadband access. Among the many new tech- while multiple relay stations (RSs) can cooper- nologies adopted in WiMAX, MIMO antenna atively perform space-time coding to send data technology plays an essential role in delivering packets to one SS.
