CALL FOR BOOK CHAPTER

Title: Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks
(to be published by Auerbach Publications, CRC Press
http://www.crcpress.com/)

http://yanzhangsg.googlepages.com/WirelessMANCFP.html

Introduction
============
Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks ( Wireless MAN) is emerging as a highly
promising Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) technology to provide high-speed,
high-bandwidth and high-capacity multimedia services for residential as well
as enterprise applications. It is observed that Wireless MAN (e.g. WiMAX) is
even regarded as 4G technology. On 7, Dec. 2005, IEEE just released the
latest version IEEE 802.16e to support the mobility capability, which marks
the maturation of BWA. For the success of the Wireless MAN, great efforts in
the research and industry communities are in progress to address the
problems in all layers of protocol stack.

This book provides readers a comprehensive technical, practical, deploying,
policy guidance covering fundamentals and recent advances in general
Wireless MAN, as well as the latest standard specifications in IEEE
802.16a/c/d/e families. The primary focus of this book is the basic concepts
introduction, fundamentals exploration, standard specifications, security
management, effective protocols, practical system integration, performance
theory/analysis model, simulation and experiment, and future directions in
the Wireless MAN.
