Praise for Fundamentals of WiMAX

2.9 Bibliography 63• WiMAX supports a number of advanced signal-processing techniques to improve overallsystem capacity. These techniques include adaptive modulation and coding, spatial multiplexing,and multiuser diversity.• WiMAX has a very flexible MAC layer that can accommodate a variety of traffic types,including voice, video, and multimedia, and provide strong QoS.• Robust security functions, such as strong encryption and mutual authentication, are builtinto the WiMAX standard.• WiMAX has several features to enhance mobility-related functions such as seamless handoverand low power consumption for portable devices.• WiMAX defines a flexible all-IP-based network architecture that allows for the exploitationof all the benefits of IP. The reference network model calls for the use of IP-basedprotocols to deliver end-to-end functions, such as QoS, security, and mobilitymanagement.• WiMAX offers very high spectral efficiency, particularly when using higher-order MIMOsolutions.2.9 Bibliography[1] IEEE.
