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 technologies, performance analysis, and QoS, the handbook covers areas including design of baseband processors for WiMAX systems, system performance analysis for the mesh mode of IEEE 802.16, and scheduling algorithms for OFDMA-based WiMAX systems with QoS restraints. 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.
