While everyone engaged in wireless communications, whether academic or professional, has accumulated a variety of information on WiMAX over time, a comprehensive, single-source would be invaluable to have. The WiMAX Handbook is that resource, presenting what you need to know about this innovative technology. VOLUME I: Applications This first volume describes the logical architecture of IEEE 802.16, introduces critical IEEE 802.16 family standards, compares WiMAX to Wi-Fi, and studies the feasibility of supporting VoIP over WiMAX. It also looks at the residential use of WiMAX as well as strategies for using WiMAX in remote and rural locales. In addition, the volume examines the backhaul requirements of a large fixed wireless network and the problem of centralized routing and scheduling for IEEE 802.16 mesh networks. VOLUME II: Standards and Security The second volume examines standardized vs. proprietary solutions for wireless broadband access, reviews the core medium access control protocol of WiMAX systems, and presents carrier perspectives on wireless services. It also discusses the main mobility functions of IEEE 802.16e, describes how to speed up WiMAX handover procedures, presents the 802.16 mesh protocol, and surveys testing and certification processes used for WiMAX products. In addition, the book reviews security features of both IEEE 802.16 and WiMAX. VOLUME III: Technologies, Performance Analysis, and QoS Focusingon technologies behind WiMAX, this final volume examines performance capabilities and control mechanisms. It describes an innovative methodology for designing multi-band WiMAX antennas and addresses space-time block codes. The book also proposes a combined call admission control and scheduling scheme and focuseexamines performance analysis of the IEEE 802.16 mesh mode.
