Features: This book systematically introduces the protocol architecture, system structure, and design characteristics of each layer in the 802.16 broadband wireless metropolitan area network. It focuses on the MAC layer design of the 802.16 system, including the link adaptation techniques and QoS mechanisms adopted by the MAC layer, and briefly introduces the support for mobility in the new 802.16 protocol. The book is divided into 9 chapters: Chapter 1 introduces the development history and current status of broadband wireless access systems; Chapter 2 provides an overview of the 802.16 protocol architecture and the structure and features of the 802.16 system; Chapters 3 and 4 provide detailed introductions to the core physical layer technologies adopted by 802.16—OFDM technology and the physical layer design of the 802.16 system; Chapters 5 to 8 provide detailed introductions to the MAC layer design of the 802.16 system, as well as the link adaptation techniques, QoS packet scheduling algorithms, and QoS mechanisms adopted by the MAC layer; Chapter 9 briefly introduces the 802.16e protocol that supports mobility. This book is suitable for technical personnel engaged in the research and development of broadband wireless access systems, and can also serve as a reference for teachers and students of communication and information disciplines in higher education institutions.
