Abstract Fixed broadband wireless access systems (FBWA) are becoming a challenging competitor to conventional wired last mile access systems like DSL and cablemodems. The ARC Group forecasts that FBWA connections will reach almost 28 millions by 2005 for both households and business. This will result in a portion of 24% in North America and 27% in Europe. The IST project STRIKE is currently working on a demonstrator to show the benefit of advanced technologies that are added to the HIPERMAN standard. This paper gives an overview of the new ETSI/BRAN High PERformance Metropolitan Area Network (HIPERMAN) network. The Medium Access Control (MAC) and the physical layer (PHY) are described in detail. Especially the MAC protocol data unit (PDU) configuration is analyzed. Afterwards a performance evaluation based on several MAC configuration examples is provided.
