WiMAX: Technologies, Performance Analysis, and QoS

Part of the WiMAX Handbook, this volume focuses on the technologies behind WiMAX, its performance capabilities, and its control mechanisms. The book describes an innovative methodology for the design of multi-band WiMAX antennas and addresses space-time block codes. It also proposes a combined call admission control and scheduling scheme and focuses on the performance analysis of the IEEE 802.16 mesh mode. The final section discusses an ideal reservation period controller, the ecosystem in which scheduling for IEEE 802.16e systems must be performed, and a fuzzy logic controller.
