"The demand for reliable and high data throughput wireless communication networks has never been so great as in the present. While initial consumer and business demand was for wireless communication technologies to support voice communication, this demand has grown both in terms of the sheer volume of users as well as the bandwidth requirements; the latter being the result of demand for wireless broadband data services. These services are provided, for example, by Fourth Generation ("4G") wireless systems based on 3GPP Long Term Evolution ("LTE"), IEEE 802.16e WiMax, and 3GPP2 Ultra Mobile Broadband (UMB), each of which use orthogonal frequency division multiple access ("OFDMA") technology as the air interface technology. These 4G systems are mandated to support mobility of up to 350 km/hr and such systems can be deployed in various channel frequency bands up to 5 GHz."
