Study the WiMax physical (PHY) layer and the benefits and tradeoffs associated with its various modes

Study the WiMax physical (PHY) layer in this chapter download from Fundamentals of WiMax: Understanding Broadband Wireless Networking. Investigate the nature of the WiMAX PHY layer and understand the various benefits and tradeoffs associated with its various options or modes. Chapter coverage includes:

• Examining the various components of the channel encoding and symbol-mapping stages as defined in the IEEE 802.16-e-2005 standard
• Studying various mandatory and optional channel coding and modulation schemes
• Exploring the construction of the OFDM symbol in the frequency domain
• Studying the optional multiantenna features of IEEE 802.16e-2005 for various modes, such as transmit diversity and spatial multiplexing
• Investigate various physical-layer control mechanisms, such as power control and measurement reporting
