An introduction to theories and applications in wireless broadbandnetworksAs wireless broadband networks evolve into future generationwireless networks, it's important for students, researchers, andprofessionals to have a solid understanding of their underlyingtheories and practical applications. Divided into two parts, thebook presents:* Enabling Technologies for Wireless BroadbandNetworks--orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing and otherblock-based transmissions; multi-input/multi-output antennasystems; ultra-wideband; medium access control; mobility resourcemanagement; routing protocols for multi-hop wireless broadbandnetworks; radio resource management for wireless broadbandnetworks; and quality of service for multimedia services* Systems for Wireless Broadband Networks--long-termevolution cellular networks; wireless broadband networking withWiMax; wireless local area networks; wireless personal areanetworks; and convergence of networksEach chapter begins with an introduction and ends with asummary, appendix, and a list of resources for readers who wouldlike to explore the subjects in greater depth. The book is an idealresource for researchers in electrical engineering and computerscience and an excellent textbook for electrical engineering andcomputer science courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduatelevels.
