A broadband wireless
simulator called BWSim has
been developed to understand
the performance of IEEE
802.16 standard and this is
being periodically enhanced
with REMON, Israel.
This is currently in use at the
laboratory of IIT Madras to
evaluate the performance of
IEEE802.16m and LTE
standards.
An interim wireless standard
for WiFi (IEEE 802.11) rural
access called WiFiRe has been
defined with several industry
collaborators. Three Indian
patents have already been
filed. Two white papers on the
broadband research and
