Broadband Fixed Wireless Access: A Systems Perspective
Broadband Fixed Wireless Access provides a systematic overview of the emerging WiMax technology, and much of the material is based on the practical experience of the authors in building broadband wireless systems. This material will be of significant interest to network architects and developers of broadband fixed wireless access products. With the adoption of the IEEE 802.16 standard & the advent of next generation equipment, the WiMax technology has been growing in interest. The authors discuss applications at microwave frequencies between 2 and 11 GHz that could be attractive options for operators without an existing access infrastructure for reaching end users with broadband services. This introductory volume demystifies the technology and provides technical exposure to the various system trade offs. Additionally, the book features the following highlights:
. Detailed modeling of broadband fixed wireless
access propagation channel, including new
measurements for its time variation.
. An extensive overview of the IEEE 802.16
standard.
. A tutorial on implementation challenges for
WiMAX terminals.
. Discussion of the suitability of various multi
antenna techniques.
. Elaboration of different techniques, i.e. auto
directing antennas, bridging with WLAN, and
multi hop networking, that can be used to
reduce the cost of ownership of a WiMAX network
for an operator.
The authors cover a wide range of topics, from network deployment to implementation of terminals. Wireless professionals will gain a head start from the information on WiMAX technology. This is a must read book when starting with broadband fixed wireless access.
