 Wireless Networks and Mobile Communications
Description
The Wireless Metropolitan Area Network
(WirelessMAN) is a promising Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) technology
that provides high-speed, high-bandwidth efficiency and high-capacity
multimedia services for both residential and enterprise applications.
Mobile WiMAX: Toward Broadband Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks
examines the basic concepts, recent advances, and latest standard
specifications pertinent to WirelessMANs, placing emphasis on IEEE
802.16-based WiMAX. After introducing the basics of WirelessMAN, the
book addresses topics in three accessible parts. The first part focuses
on radio frequency (RF), signal processing, multiple in-multiple out
(MIMO) technology, and identifying challenges and possible solutions in
the physical layer. An examination of protocol issues follows,
including those involving medium access control (MAC), quality of
service (QoS) in point-to-multi-point (PMP) and mesh networks, cross
layer optimization, mobility management, handoff in heterogeneous
networks, energy management, and link adaptation mechanisms. The final
part considers issues regarding security, economy, and system capacity
in the WiMAX. Mobile WiMAX: Toward Broadband Wireless Metropolitan Area
Networks is an important resource for those interested in understanding
all aspects relevant to the technical, practical, economic, and policy
issues concerning WirelessMANs. It offers comprehensive practical and
technical guidance on the fundamentals and recent advances in general
WirelessMAN, as well as the latest standard specifications in IEEE
802.16a/c/d/e families.
