This two day course introduces both technical and non technical aspects of WiMAX to enable the delegate to fully understand how this important new technology fits into the future of wireless communications. The need for WiMAX enabled services are analysed, followed by examples of current and future WiMAX applications, including broadband wireless access (BWA), backhaul networks, and mobile systems. The use of WiMAX in both licensed and un-licensed bands is explored, together with the major differences in deployment for the differing WiMax scenarios, as well as the role of IEEE and other standardisation initiatives.
The basic elements and principles of WiMAX operation (including the protocol stack) are covered, including adaptive modulation, MAC convergence layers, and Support for QoS and PMP/Mesh architectures. Radio and Capacity planning issues are presented, along with methods of reducing interference and improving performance. WiMAX security is considered in respect of Security Associations, Key Management Protocols and Encryption techniques.
A basic understanding of radio systems and data networks would be an advantage but not essential.
