The objective of this book is to provide a detailed overview of the IEEE 802.16 standard for fixed broadband wireless and to include detailed descriptions of the 802.16 Medium Access Control (MAC) and Physical Layer (PHY) operation, with emphasis on the design and the technology behind the standards. This book explains why certain design choices were made and how the recent technological developments, realworld experience and the lessons learned from previous projects were used throughout the 802.16 standards development process to make critical trade-offs. In addition, the chronological development of 802.16 MAC and PHY amendments to the standards and the rationale behind those projects are explained. This book also provides a summary of ongoing projects, related standards, and possible future extensions to IEEE 802.16. The optional and mandatory parts of the 802.16 Standards are clearly indentified and explained thoughout the book wherever applicable.

No Active Projects
Standards approved by the IEEE SA Standards Board that are within the 10-year lifecycle.
No Active Standards
These standards have been replaced with a revised version of the standard, or by a compilation of the original active standard and all its existing amendments, corrigenda, and errata.
No Superseded Standards
These standards have been removed from active status through a ballot where the standard is made inactive as a consensus decision of a balloting group.
No Inactive-Withdrawn Standards
These standards are removed from active status through an administrative process for standards that have not undergone a revision process within 10 years.
No Inactive-Reserved Standards
