Broadband Fixed Wireless Access provides a systematic overview
of the emerging WiMAX technology, and much of the material is based
on the practical experiences of the authors in building new
systems. This material will be of significant interest to network
architects and developers of broadband fixed wireless access
products. With the advent of the IEEE 802.16 standard (has the
standard or any part of it been adopted or is likely to be adopted
soon?) and next generation equipment, this 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. 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 various techniques, i.e. autodirecting
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.
