A Must-Have Text for Broadband Wireless Access!

WirelessMAN: Inside the IEEE 802.16™ Standard for Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks makes it easier to grasp the technical content of the IEEE 802.16 family of standards and how to implement these standards to create broadband wireless components, WiMAX systems and test equipment.

The volume introduces and reviews the field of metropolitan broadband wireless access networks, places it in the context of other wireless and wireline networks, and explains the rationale behind the choices made in standardizing this technology. It also presents:

  • A detailed overview the technology contained in IEEE Std 802.16-2004, including the IEEE 802.16 medium access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) alternatives for fixed access.

  • An explanation of the design choices that came into play as the standard was formulated. This includes critical trade-offs made in light of new wireless developments and experience gained on previous projects.

  • An exploration of practical issues and implementation choices as an aid in using WirelessMAN technology.

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.
