Is 16e the same as Mobile WiMAX?
Mobile WiMAX and Fixed WiMAX are terms coined by the WiMAX Forum to promote interoperability and conformance to the standard by Wireless MAN equipment vendors. Fixed WiMAX and 802.16d are popular names that refer to the 802.16-2004 standard. Similarly, widely used nicknames for 802.16e-2005 are 16e, 802.16e and Mobile WiMAX. Since it is only an amendment, the original document (802.16-2004) has to be read and then the amendments added to it. 802.16e does not automatically imply mobility. In most industry literature, however, the terms 802.16e and Mobile WiMAX are often used interchangeably to mean the same thing.
