WiMAX Evolution [PDF ebook] 
Emerging Technologies and Applications

This book presents the evolutionary and visionary developments
of Wi MAX!

Wi MAX Evolution: Emerging Technologies and Applications
focuses on the future developments of Wi MAX technology. The book
discusses the evolutionary aspects of Wi MAX, from the physical to
the application layer, including visions from industry,
standardization and research communities. Several chapters of the
book will present very new and unique information as editors and
their respective organizations are involved in ongoing
international projects on Wi MAX, developing advanced Wi MAX
techniques. The Editors’ in-house Wi MAX test-beds enhance the
book with privileged and seldom published information on practical
issues.

Key features:

* Presents evolutionary and visionary developments of Wi MAX,
motivating and inspiring readers to join and continue the
developing work

* Contains chapters with previously unpublished material,
including measurements on real Wi MAX equipment and their
validation, and introduction of robust header compression in Wi MAX,
and more

* Unique results on real Wi MAX test-beds

* Covers Wi MAX validation, novel scenarios, applications and
business, advanced Wi MAX architectures, Wi MAX extensions, and Wi MAX
evolution and future developments

* Expert authorship with a balanced mix of contributions from
highly regarded professionals from top research institutes,
industry and academia

This book is an invaluable resource for product developers,
research and standardization engineers in industry, professors,
research scientists and advanced students in academia. Technology
managers and CTOs will also find this book insightful.
