IEEE 802.16 working group was set up in 1999 to develop a new standard for broadband wireless access (BWA) and published the fi rst IEEE 802.16 standard in October 2001. An industrial association, namely worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) forum was formed to promote the 802.16 standards by defi ning the interoperability specifi cations between 802.16 products from different vendors. Th us, the IEEE 802.16 networks are also often referred to as WiMAX networks. In October 2004, the new standard 802.16-2004 was published, which is actually an amalgamation of 802.16 and 802.16a. Recently, the 802.16e standard was also ratifi ed in December 2005 by allowing the upgrade from fi xed BWA systems to mobile service provision up to vehicular speeds.
WiMAX provides a worldwide revolution in BWA including both fixed and mobile handsets. Th is book addresses many research-oriented issues in WiMAX such as connection admission control, integration with WiFi networks, quality of service (QoS) support, security issues, mobility support, terminal energy consumption, frequency reuse, confi guration issues, QoS architecture, handoff management, architecture for wireless IP networks, scheduling algorithms, mesh networks, load-balancing, radio resource management, systems deployment, performance modeling and analysis, and simulations. Th e goal of this edited book is to provide an excellent reference for students, faculty, researchers, and people in the industry related to these fields.
This edited book contains chapters written by experts on a wide range of topics that are associated with novel methods, techniques and applications of WiMAX systems. The book contains 17 chapters from prominent researchers working in these areas around the world. Although the covered topics may not be an exhaustive representation of all issues in WiMAX, they do represent a rich and useful sample of the strategies and contents.
