The WiMAX handbook

TK5103

WiMAX is a cost-effective solution to the last-mile wireless connections problem in metropolitan and rural areas. This handbook is part of a three-volume set that provides technical information on all aspects of WiMAX. With sections on standards and security, the handbook covers topics including the emerging wireless Internet architecture, WiMAX testing, mobility support for the IEEE 802.16e system, and privacy and security in WiMAX networks. The audience for the book includes designers and planners for WiMAX networks, researchers, and those who would like to learn about the field. Although the handbook was not written as a textbook, it can be used as one for graduate and research-oriented courses that deal with WiMAX. Ahson is a software engineer in the private sector. Ilyas is associate dean for research and industry relations at Florida Atlantic University's College of Engineering and Computer Science.
