WiMAX security and quality of service: an end-to-end perspective

WiMAX Security and Quality of Service discusses two important, state-of-the-art topics in WiMAX wireless telecommunication systems: security and QoS. It discusses how they are considered for the new impending technology, WiMAXand reflects how WiMAX applications security and quality of service are interconnected and interworked among the cross layers. QoS is an important feature within the IP world and therefore WiMAX, which is an IP based technology, while security is an equally important feature of wireless communication. Both topics are explained following the current standard as well as their interaction from an End-to-End perspective. Cross-layer aspects of IEEE 802.16, WiMAX Forum, and IETF roles, enhanced techniques, and protocols, which ensure the end-to-end performance and operation, are also discussed in detail. The first part of the book is an end-to-end overview of the WiMAX architecture, making the book essential for professionals who are new to the field. Due to the importance of data transfer, security is an essential element in the wireless world and part 2 ofthe book is fully dedicated to security. QoS is covered in detail including ahistory of QoS in the wireless world. Physical layer adopted by the IEEE 802.16 is introduced and interworking, roaming and handover are also considered, as well as deployment issues. WiMAX Security and Quality of Servicebridges the gap between technical, scientific and commercial market related publications and presents a clear picture for readers to understand this complex and important interdisciplinary landscape. It introduces the basic concepts and serves asa reference for advanced and specialist readers.
