$69.99 buys you depth

As of May 28 2007, if you are going to fork some money onto a WiMax book, this book should be it. The authors were smart to concentrate in explaining the technology building blocks of the standard instead of just following the structure of the 802.16 document. I have read mostly the chapters related to the PHY and I found the explanations and examples clear and to the point. Even if you are not interested in the WiMax standard per se, this book contains very good information about OFDM/OFDMA and multi-antenna techniques for broadband wireless systems. It also has a couple of chapters about link level and system level performance of WiMax that add even more depth to the book.

Extensive coverage of WiMAX standards

This is an excellent starter book on WiMAX. The most useful aspect of this book is the extensive coverage of IEEE 802.16e (mobile WiMAX) PHY and MAC standards. Another very useful feature is the listing of typical system configurations used in real deployments of WiMAX. The technical chapters on OFDM, OFDMA, and space-time coding are also useful but can be found in other texts.

WiMAX from a test users

Enjoyed the earlier chapters and how they introduced the later chapters which went into greater detail on each topic. The detailed chapters included equations, tradeoffs and examples.

WiMAX Expert

I think this book gives you a little bit more that just the fundamentals of WiMax. You should read this book only if you have a decent understadings in communication theory because. If you do the topics covered in this book will make a lot more sense, otherwise you will be struggling with a lot of the concepts and acronyms.

This is the eBook version of the printed book.The Definitive Guide to WiMAX Technology
WiMAX is the most promising new technology for broadband wireless access to IP services. It can serve an extraordinary range of applications and environments: data, voice, and multimedia; fixed and mobile; licensed and unlicensed. However, until now, wireless professionals have had little reliable information to guide them. Fundamentals of WiMAX is the first comprehensive guide to WiMAX-its technical foundations, features, and performance.

Three leading wireless experts systematically cut through the hype surrounding WiMAX and illuminate the realities. They combine complete information for wireless professionals and basic, accessible knowledge for non-experts. Professionals will especially appreciate their detailed discussion of the performance of WiMAX based on comprehensive link- and system-level simulations.

Whether you're a wireless engineer, network architect, manager, or system designer, this book delivers essential information for succeeding with WiMAX-from planning through deployment.

Topics include

Applications, history, spectrum options, technical and business challenges, and competitive technologies of WiMAX 802.16 standards: physical and MAC layers, channel access, scheduling services, mobility, advanced antenna features, hybrid-ARQ, and more Broadband wireless channels: pathloss, shadowing, cellular systems, sectoring, and fading-including modeling and mitigation OFDM: from basic multicarrier concepts to synchronization, PAR reduction, and clipping MIMO: Multiple antennas, spatial diversity, beamforming, and a cutting-edge treatment of the use of MIMO in WiMAX OFDMA: multiple access, multiuser diversity, adaptive modulation, and resource allocation Networking and services aspects: architecture and protocols for IP QoS, session management, ecurity, and mobility management Predicting performance using link-level and system-level simulations WiMAX network architecture: design principles, reference models, authentication, QoS, and mobility management
