Mobile Wimax: A Systems Approach to Understanding IEEE 802.16m Radio Access Technology

By Sassan Ahmadi

Presenting the new IEEE 802.16m standard, this is the first book to take a systematic, top-down approach to describing Mobile WiMAX and its next generation, giving detailed algorithmic descriptions together with explanations of the principles behind the operation of individual air-interface protocols and network components.

Features:

A systematic and detailed, top-down approach to the design of 4G cellular systems based on IEEE 802.16m and 3GPP LTE/LTE-Advanced technologies
A systematic approach to understanding IEEE 802.16m radio access network and mobile WiMAX network architecture and protocols
The first comprehensive technical reference on the design, development and performance evaluation of IMT-Advanced systems, including the theoretical background and design principles as well as implementation considerations

About the author:

The author, chief architect and technical lead of the IEEE 802.16m project at Intel Corporation, initiated and masterminded the development of the IEEE 802.16m standard and has been one of the leading technical drivers in its standardization process in IEEE. The author was also a leading technical contributor to the definition and development of requirements and evaluation methodology for the IMT-Advanced systems in ITU-R. Reflecting the author's 20+ years expertise and experience, the book provides an in-depth, systematic and structured technical reference for professional engineers, researchers, and graduate students working in cellular communication systems, radio air-interface technologies, cellular communications protocols, advanced radio access technologies for 4G systems, and broadband cellular standards.

Hey Joe, where you goin' with that 802.16m device in your hand?

I was raised on various 802 protocols and find them fascinating. I must admit most of my practical experience is with the 802.11 realm. However, it has always been fascinating, but the other standards. Years ago, I was working on a GSM system before it became fashionable. My last dabbling was with RFID. So even if I will not be doing anything practical with this book, I am still intrigued by the technology and how it is implemented. The book itself presents the information in a textbook design. It also works well as a reference book. Exceptionally good diagrams and practical explanations. Each chapter has references, some being URLs to different sites that relate to the subject. The only drawback is color. They left off that dimension, so you will have to get used to black, white, and gray. Still, it makes scanning easier. Too bad there are no kits you can buy to apply the information in a tactile way. I assume if there are schools out there using this book, that they have some sort of lab. Anyway, this book can open a whole new world. The next step is wimaxforum(dot)org/about Do not settle for a black box. Know how the world works. It can be fun. This book holds nothing back. Copyright year: 2011 – so it may be a tad dated. At the time of this review, 6G (in research): Targeted for around 2030, with goals like terabit speeds, AI‑native networking, and integration of satellite + terrestrial systems.
