Book description
Provides a clear, coherent review of all major wireless broadband
standards with an emphasis on managing the explosive growth in
mobile video
802. 11ac/ad, 802. 16m, 802. 22, and LTE-Advanced are the emerging
broadband wireless standards that offer many powerful wireless
features. This book gives an accessible overview of the various
standards and practical information on 802. 11 link adaptation, 4G
smartphone antenna design, wireless video streaming, and smart grids.
Broadband Wireless Multimedia Networks distills the many
complex wireless features in a clean and concise manner so that the
reader can understand the key principles. Topics covered include
adaptive modulation and coding, orthogonal frequency-division multiple
access, single-carrier frequency-division multiple access, multiple
antenna systems, medium access control time and frequency-division
duplex, transmission, and the frame formats. With wireless operators
now carrying a much greater amount of video traffic than data and
voice traffic, the book also covers adaptive bit rate streaming and
bandwidth management for 3D and HD video delivery to multi-screen
personal devices.
Featured chapters in the book are:
- Overview of Broadband Wireless Networks
- IEEE 802. 11 Standard
- IEEE 802. 16 Standard
- Long-Term Evolution
- ATSC Digital TV and IEEE 802. 22 Standards
- Mesh, Relay, and Interworking Networks
- Wireless Video Streaming
- Green Communications in Wireless Home Area Networks
Including over 180 chapter-end exercises and 200 illustrative
figures; available slides and solutions manual for instructors; and
accessible recorded tutorials, Broadband Wireless Multimedia
Networks is ideal for industry professionals and practitioners,
graduate students, and researchers.
