Fundamentals.of.WiMAX

The Definitive Guide to WiMAX Technology, Features, and Standards
WiMAX is today's most promising new technology for broadband wireless access to IP services. It can serve an extraordinary range of applications and environments: data, voice, and multimedia; fixed and mobile; licensed and unlicensed. However, until now, wireless professionals have found little reliable information to guide them. Fundamentals of WiMAX is the first comprehensive guide to WiMAX¡ªits technical foundations, features, and standards.

The authors systematically cut through the hype surrounding WiMAX and illuminate the realities. They combine deep, complete information for wireless professionals and basic, accessible knowledge for non-experts. Professionals will especially appreciate their detailed discussion of performance in WiMAX and competitive networks, based on comprehensive link and system level simulations.

Topics include

Applications, history, evolution, technical and business challenges, and spectrum options
802.16 standards: physical and MAC layers, channel access, QoS, security, multicast, power, mobility, and more
Performance enhancement: advanced antennas, multiple antennas, Hybrid-ARQ, and frequency reuse
Broadband wireless channels: path loss, shadowing, cellular systems, sectoring, and fading¡ªincluding modeling and mitigation
OFDM: from basic multicarrier concepts to synchronization, PAR reduction, and clipping
OFDMA: multiple access, multiuser diversity, adaptive modulation, and resource allocation
End-to-end service: QoS, session management, security, and mobility
Predicting performance at the physical layer, MAC layer, link level, and system level
Architecting WiMAX networks: design principles, reference models, authentication, QoS, and mobility management
Whether you're a wireless engineer, network architect, manager, or software developer, this book delivers essential information for succeeding with WiMAX¡ªfrom planning through deployment.
