Editing HiperMAN

{{Short description|Wireless network standard}}
'''HiperMAN''' ('''High Performance Radio Metropolitan Area Network''') is a standard created by the [[European Telecommunications Standards Institute]] (ETSI) Broadband Radio Access Networks (BRAN) group to provide a wireless network communication in the 2–11 [[Gigahertz|GHz]] bands across Europe and other countries which follow the ETSI standard.<ref>{{cite web|title=What is Europe's ETSI HiperMAN?|url=http://www.wimax.com/education/faq/faq12c|publisher=wimax.com|access-date=2008-02-20|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100520205327/http://www.wimax.com/education/faq/faq12c|archive-date=2010-05-20}}</ref> HiperMAN is a [[Europe]]an alternative to [[WiMAX]] (or the [[IEEE 802.16]] standard) and the [[Korea]]n technology [[WiBro]].

HiperMAN is aiming principally for providing broadband Wireless Internet access, while covering a large geographic area. The standardization focuses on broadband solutions optimized for access in frequency bands below 11&nbsp;GHz (mainly in the 3.5&nbsp;GHz band). HiperMAN is optimised for [[packet switched]] networks, and supports fixed and nomadic applications, primarily in the residential and small business user environments.

HiperMAN will be an interoperable broadband fixed wireless access system operating at radio frequencies between 2&nbsp;GHz and 11&nbsp;GHz.<ref>{{cite web|first1=Christian |last1=Hoymann|first2= Markus |last2=Püttner |first3=Ingo |last3=Forkel|title=The HiperMAN Standard – a Performance Analysis|url=https://www.researchgate.net/publication/253950819|date=January 2003|publisher=ist-strike.org|access-date=2008-02-20}}</ref> The HiperMAN standard is designed for Fixed Wireless Access provisioning to SMEs and residences using the basic MAC (DLC and CLs) of the IEEE 802.16-2001 standard. It has been developed in very close cooperation with IEEE 802.16,<ref>{{cite web|first1=Marianna |last1=Goldhammer|date=2001-11-08|title=ETSI BRAN HiperMAN Liaison Report|url=http://www.ieee802.org/16/liaison/docs/80216l-01_21.pdf|publisher=ieee802.org|access-date=2008-02-20}}</ref> such that the HiperMAN standard and a subset of the IEEE [[IEEE 802.16|802.16a-2003]] standard will interoperate seamlessly. HiperMAN is capable of supporting [[Asynchronous Transfer Mode|ATM]], though the main focus is on [[Internet protocol suite|IP]] traffic. It offers various service categories, full [[quality of service]], fast connection control management, strong security, fast adaptation of coding, modulation and transmit power to propagation conditions and is capable of [[Non-line-of-sight propagation|non-line-of-sight operation]]. HiperMAN enables both [[Point-to-multipoint communication (telecommunications)|PTMP]] and [[Mesh network]] configurations. HiperMAN also supports both FDD and TDD frequency allocations and H-FDD terminals. All this is achieved with a minimum number of options to simplify implementation and interoperability.
