Provides a clear, coherent review of all major wireless broadband standards with an emphasis on managing the explosive growth in mobile video

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; and accessible recorded tutorials, Broadband Wireless Multimedia Networks is ideal for industry professionals and practitioners, graduate students, and researchers.
