RDW-16e-OFDM-Enhanced technology is an improved version of the IEEE 802.16d (OFDM) standard that includes mobility and handover features which are defined in the IEEE 802.16e (OFDMA) standard. RDW-16e-OFDM-Enhanced with its propriety technology supports fixed, nomadic, portable, and mobile applications using OFDM, instead of OFDMA.

RDW-16e-OFDM offers MIMO support and an IC that is much less complex than that of OFDMA. This includes a lower gate count, lower power consumption, and a lower cost.  

Products based on RDW-16e-OFDM-Enhanced technology are available now, and RDWs advanced architectural IC design is ready to serve the broadband wireless market today and in the future.

The table below compares the overall performance enhancement of RDW-16e-OFDM-Enhanced over OFDM and OFDMA on a scale of 1 – 3.
