Fundamentals of WiMAX: Understanding Broadband Wireless Networking

Description

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 WiMAXits

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 fadingincluding modeling and mitigation

- OFDM: from basic multicarrier concepts to synchronization, PAR

reduction, and clipping

- OFDMA: multiple access, multiuser diversity, adaptive modulation, and

resourceallocation

- 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 WiMAXfrom planning through deployment.
