Product Description
WirelessMAN: Inside the IEEE 802.16? Standard for Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks is the perfect resource for understanding and navigating through the IEEE 802.16 standard, which serves as the basis of all WiMAX broadband wireless access systems. Written by the 802.16 Working Group?s Chair, Dr. Roger B. Marks, and Vice Chair, Kenneth L. Stanwood, along with Working Group participants Carl Eklund, Subbu Ponnuswamy, and Dr. Nico J.M. van Waes, the book provides a thorough understanding of the standard from an insider?s perspective not found elsewhere. Inside: ? Find detailed descriptions of the medium access control (MAC) and physical layer (PHY) operation up through IEEE 802.16-2004, with an introduction to the technologies introduced in IEEE 802.16e. ? See why certain design choices were made and how recent technological developments, real-world experience, and lessons learned from previous projects were used to make critical tradeoffs. ? Get details on OFDM, OFDMA, multiple antenna systems, security,and mesh technologies. ? See performance simulations and learn about current conformance and interoperability activities. ? Read a summary of ongoing projects, related standards, and future extensions. WirelessMAN is a must-read for anyone wishing to understand the IEEE 802.16 standard and its operation. This book will immediately benefit designers, engineers, students, and deployment professionals who need to rapidly understand the fundamentals of the standard. The book is a self-contained companion to the standard, and no specific knowledge of any other wireless protocols is assumed. It can be used for self-study, as a reference, or as a designer?s handbook.

 Excellent Reference and Exceptionally Well Written December 4, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book provides a solid overview of the 802.16 standard. It does not address 802.16e, mobile WiMax; the authors state up front the topic is outside the scope of the book. The authors are IEEE 802.16 working group members who are the obviously most authoritative information sources on this subject. In addition, this is simply one of the most professionally written technical references I have ever read. I get so sick of trying to slog through technical references that are sloppy, vague or just incomprehensible. This book is absolutely one of the most crisply written and articulate technical references I've ever read, making it very easy to understand the technology details on one pass through. I absolutely commend the authors and the editorial staff. This is the first IEEE Press book I have purchased and it makes me want to buy more IEEE Press books in the future.
 Excellent. But it doesn't include 802.16e and WiMAX networking May 28, 2007

This book is excellent. The only drawback is that it does not include 802.16e and WiMAX networking (such as ASN/CSN mobility management).
Good read on MAC and PHY details January 17, 2007

A coworker referred me to this book - recommended.
Great book! January 9, 2007
I bought it for my wife that teach at the university and it is great.
Most complete WiMAX (802.16-2004) book being sold!! November 4, 2006
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I have read several of the so called WiMAX books out there. This is the only one that I have found useful. If you want to know how 802.16-2004 (Fixed WiMAX) actually works this is the book to buy.
Having read most of the other books this is the only book that I recommend to my colleages and customers.
