WiMAX Technology for Broadband Wireless Access
John Wiley & Sons
by Loutfi Nuaymi.
ISBN: 0-470-02808-4
E-Book {CHM}
310 Pages
January 2007.
WiMAX Broadband Wireless Access Technology, based on the IEEE 802.16 standard, is at the origin of great promises for many different markets covering fixed wireless Internet Access, Backhauling and Mobile cellular networks.
WiMAX technology is designed for the transmission of multimedia services (voice, Internet, email, games and others) at high data rates (of the order of Mb/s per user).
It is a very powerful but sometimes complicated technique.
The WiMAX System is described in thousands of pages of IEEE 802.16 standard and amendments documents and WiMAX Forum documents.
WiMAX: Technology for Broadband Wireless Access provides a global picture of WiMAX and a large number of details that makes access to WiMAX documents much easier.
All the aspects of WIMAX are covered. Illustrations and clear explanations for all the main procedures of WiMAX are pedagogically presented in a succession of relatively short chapters:
Topics covered include WiMAX genesis and framework
WiMAX topologies
protocol layers
MAC layer
MAC frames
WiMAX multiple access
the physical layer
QoS Management
Radio Resource Management
Bandwidth allocation
Network Architecture
Mobility and Security.
- Features a glossary of abbreviations and their definitions, and a wealth of explanatory tables and figures.
- Highlights the most recent changes, including the 802.16e amendment of the standard, needed for Mobile WiMAX.
- Includes technical comparisons of WiMAX vs. 802.11 (WiFi) and cellular 3G technologies.
This technical introduction to WiMAX, explaining the rather complex standards (IEEE 802.16-2004 and 802.16e) is a must read for engineers, decision-makers and students interested in WiMAX, as well as other researchers and scientists from this evolving field.
