Comparison with Other BWA Systems

System/Items XGP Other BWA System Mobile System
Cell Structure Micro Cell+ Macro Cell Mainly adopting micro cells in places with heavy traffic. Overlapped coverage of multiple cells is allowed. Restricted to Macro Cell One base station covers comparatively broad area. To avoid interference between each other, overlapped coverage of multiple cells is not allowed.

Date Communication Speed Per user date communication speed can be maintained stable in high traffic due to switch of base stations that can diversify the traffic. Per user data communication speed tends to fall when traffic is busy, as multiple users are concentrated on one base station. Per user data communication speed tends to fall when traffic is busy, as multiple users are concentrated on one base station.
Network Structure Investment on network facility can be kept low by making use of the existing IP network. Investment on network facility can be kept low by making use of existing IP network. Investment cost on network is enormous as network structure being independent. 
Utilizing Form Terminal to indoor/outdoor base station (Public Mode) Terminal to indoor/outdoor base station (Private Mode)* Terminal to base station outdoor Terminal to base station outdoor
Channel Allotment Method No restriction on location of base station due to dynamic channel allotment, which makes amplification of base stations easy. Delicate design is needed to install a base station due to fixed channel allotment. Amplification is difficult because adjustment with the existing cell stations is needed on adding a new cell station.

Trend (Nov. 2007) Standardization process completed in September 2007. WILLCOM Inc. has started studies jointly with AWC in Thailand to apply XGP system. WiMAX is adopted in ITU advice as one of the IMT-2000 methods Standardization of UMB is not completed. Research and development concerning Super 3G、4G is undergoing, although the main stream is GSM of the 2nd generation.

*Standardization Process Unexcuted.

Micro cell method uses multiple base stations to cover one area. As a result, users are dispersed on different base stations and data communication speed per user is maximized.

A big amount of users are concentrated on one base station, as one base station covers a wide range of area
in macro cell method. As a result, data-transfer velocity per one user tends to fall.
