Wireless Broadband Networks (eBook)

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.
