Also known as WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), IEEE 802.16 (802.16a, 802.16d, 802.16e, WiBro)-based technology can potentially deliver fixed, portable, and mobile wireless solutions. Tutorial in nature, this book features original, unpublished, state-of -the-art research in various aspects of protocol (Layer 2 and above) design and engineering for WiMAX/MobileFi. It addresses many research-oriented issues in WiMAX such as MAC layer optimization, scheduling, link adaptation, error control, multi-hop routing mobility, location and handoff management, QoS specification and metrics, standardization status reports, privacy and security protocols, and proxies and middleware.
