combine WiMax and LTE. Methods have been developed by groups where performance
varies by less than 10 percent for frame synchronization, i.e., to align
signaling frame structures between WiMax and LTE.
There are indications that WiMax and LTE suppliers are
coming together to provide a framework for the coexistence of LTE and WiMax.
