Abstract: WiMAX was originally designed to provide a flexible, cost effective, standards-based last-mile broadband connectivity to fill in the broadband coverage gaps that are not served by wired solutions such as cables or DSL. This study presents an efficient and simple method for planning of Broadband Fixed Wireless Access (BFWA) with IEEE802. About 16 standard to support home connection to internet. The study formulates the framework for planning both coverage and capacity designs. The correlation between coverage area and access rate from subscriber in every environment area is presented. The study also presents the throughput and channel capacity of IEEE802.16 in different access rates. An extensive analysis is performed and the results are applied to the real case study to demonstrate the practicality of using IEEE 802.16 for connecting home to Internet. Using empirical data and original subscriber traffic from measurement, it is shown that the BFWA with IEEE802.16 standard is a capacity limited system. The capacity of IEEE802.16 is related to different factors including frequency bandwidth, spectrum allocation, estimation of traffic per subscriber and choice of adaptive modulation from subscriber terminal.
