Instant Online Access and 6-Month eLearning License Included WiMAX is one of the choices for next generation broadband wireless networks. Its high data rates enable advanced multimedia applications. Also, it offers a wireless alternative to popular DSL and cable modem access services. This eLearning course offers a quick and concise overview of WiMAX networks and the 802.16e based air interface. WiMAX protocols, air interface and mobility aspects are covered to provide an end-to-end view of the network. The discussion of QoS, security and services enables the student to understand the potential of WiMAX networks. End-to-end connection setup and bandwidth allocation scenarios provide a glimpse into the operation of WiMAX networks. By the conclusion of this course, the student will understand what WiMAX offers, its network architecture, how it works, and potential applications and services.
Learning Objectives
After completing this course, the student will be able to: • Describe the state of wireless networks and trends for next generation wireless networks • Sketch the WiMAX network architecture and its interfaces • Describe OFDM concept and how it is used in 802.16e • Define the key features of the 802.16e air interface for WiMAX • List the steps followed to establish a WiMAX connection • Explain how mobility is enabled in WiMAX networks • List the wide range of applications supported by WiMAX networks • Describe the levels of QoS defined in WiMAX to support different applications • Identify the security issues in WiMAX and describe how they are addressed • Explain deployment scenarios of WiMAX networks
Intended Audience
This course is an end-to-end overview of WiMAX networks, so it is targeted for a broad audience. This includes those in design, test, sales, marketing, system engineering and deployment groups.
