Description
WirelessMAN is the resource for understanding and
navigating through the IEEE 802.16 standard, which
serves as the basis of all WiMAX broadband wireless
access systems.
Written by the 802.16 Working Group’s Chair,
Dr. Roger B. Marks, and Vice Chair, Kenneth L. Stanwood,
along with Working Group participants Carl Eklund,
Subbu Ponnuswamy, and Dr. Nico J.M. van Waes, the
book provides a thorough understanding of the standard
from an insider’s perspective not found elsewhere.
Inside:
Find detailed descriptions of the medium access
control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) operation up
through IEEE 802.16-2004, with an introduction to
the technologies introduced in IEEE 802.16e.
See why certain design choices were made and
how recent technological developments, real-world
experience, and lessons learned from previous projects
were used to make critical tradeoffs.
Get details on OFDM, OFDMA, multiple antenna
systems, security, and mesh technologies.
See performance simulations and learn about
current conformance and interoperability activities.
Read a summary of ongoing projects, related
standards, and future extensions.
WirelessMAN is a must-read for anyone wishing to
understand the IEEE 802.16 standard and its operation.
This book will immediately benefit
designers, engineers, students, and deployment professionals
who need to rapidly understand the fundamentals of
the standard. The book is a
self-contained companion to the standard, and no specific
knowledge of any other wireless protocols is assumed.
It can be used for self-study, as
a reference, or as a designer’s handbook.
