It is a must
read for engineers and students planning to remain current or who plan to pursue a
career in telecommunications. I have reviewed other publications on WiMAX and
have been disappointed. This book is refreshing in that it is clear that the authors
have the in-depth technical knowledge and communications skills to deliver a logically
laid out publication that has substance to it.
This is the first book with a great introductory
treatment of WiMAX technology. It
should be essential reading for all engineers involved in WiMAX. The high-level
overview is very useful for those with non-technical background. The introductory
sections for OFDM and MIMO technologies are very useful for those with implementation
background and some knowledge of communication theory. The chapters
covering physical and MAC layers are at the appropriate level of detail. In short, I
recommend this book to systems engineers and designers at different layers of the
protocol, deployment engineers, and even students who are interested in practical
applications of communication theory.
Fundamentals of WiMAX is a comprehensive guide to WiMAX from both industry
and academic viewpoints, which is an unusual accomplishment. I recommend it to
anyone who is curious about this exciting new standard.
