Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) has emerged as a promising solution for last mile access technology to provide high speed internet access in the residential as well as small and medium sized enterprise sectors. At this moment, cable and DSL technologies are providing broadband service in these sectors. But the practical difficulties in deployment have prevented them from reaching many potential broadband internet customers. Many areas throughout the world currently are not under broadband access facilities. Even many urban and suburban locations may not be served by DSL connectivity as it can only reach about three miles from the central office switch [1]. On the other side many older cable networks do not have return channel which will prevent to offer internet access and many commercial areas are often not covered by cable network. But with BWA this difficulties can be overcomed. Because of its wireless nature, it can be faster to deploy, easier to scale and more flexible, thereby giving it the potential to serve customers not served or not satisfied by their wired broadband alternatives.
