Abstract

In this paper, fundamental practical performance comparison between WiMAX and TDD-HSDPA, the evolution variant of TD-SCDMA is provided. Comparisons are based on fair assumptions that guarantee the minimum QoS for both systems. It shows that the intermediate evolution of TD-SCDMA can provide better spectrum efficiency and coverage than those can be offered by WiMAX under the assumed circumstance, such as the deployment of beamforming with very high accuracy assumption and taking very high frequency re-use by the WiMAX system.
