IEEE standard 802.16: a technical overview of the WirelessMAN/sup TM/ air interface for broadband wireless access
TLDR
The technical medium access control and physical layer features of the IEEE standard 802.16, with its WirelessMAN/sup TM/ air interface, sets the stage for widespread and effective deployments worldwide.Abstract:
The broadband wireless access industry, which provides high-rate network connections to stationary sites, has matured to the point at which it now has a standard for second-generation wireless metropolitan area networks. The IEEE standard 802.16, with its WirelessMAN/sup TM/ air interface, sets the stage for widespread and effective deployments worldwide. This article overviews the technical medium access control and physical layer features of this new standard.read more
