Description:
IEEE 802.16 is a standard for broadband wireless access
technology. The 802.16-based implementation named WiMAX (Worldwide
Interoperability for Microwave Access) is used for applications
that include "last mile" broadband connections, hotspot and
cellular backhaul, and high-speed enterprise connectivity for
businesses.
This course will provide the student with broad knowledge on
current WiMAX and 802.16 standards, trends, issues and
technologies. We have included content that is emerging from
recent IEEE 802.16 working group meetings and letter ballots.
These are the critical topics for todays development projects.
Course length:
2 days
Audience:
This course is designed for students who are working on WiMAX and
802.16 products and services, or expect to be working on those
projects soon. A student who is just beginning to work on
broadband wireless projects will gain a full understanding of the
entire set of 802.16 standards. Students who are working in WiMAX
will deepen their understanding of the latest standards issues,
and operations and management concerns.

This DoceoTech course was authored by Dr. Todor Cooklev. Dr.
Cooklev was chosen by the IEEE to write their definitive book that
covers all wireless standards, which is named Wireless
Communication Standards: A Study of IEEE 802.11, 802.15, 802.16.
