An introduction to theories and applications in wireless broadband
networks
As wireless broadband networks evolve into future generation wireless
networks, it's important for students, researchers, and professionals to
have a solid understanding of their underlying theories and practical
applications. Divided into two parts, the book presents:
-
Enabling Technologies for Wireless Broadband Networks--orthogonal
frequency-division multiplexing and other block-based transmissions;
multi-input/multi-output antenna systems; ultra-wideband; medium
access control; mobility resource management; routing protocols for
multi-hop wireless broadband networks; radio resource management for
wireless broadband networks; and quality of service for multimedia
services
-
Systems for Wireless Broadband Networks--long-term evolution cellular
networks; wireless broadband networking with WiMax; wireless local
area networks; wireless personal area networks; and convergence of
networks
Each chapter begins with an introduction and ends with a summary,
appendix, and a list of resources for readers who would like to explore
the subjects in greater depth. The book is an ideal resource for
researchers in electrical engineering and computer science and an
excellent textbook for electrical engineering and computer science
courses at the advanced undergraduate and graduate levels.
