Abstract
WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access), which is based on IEEE (Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers) 802.16 standards, is an emerging radio access technology aimed at providing broadband and long-distance wireless data delivery, and may replace DSL (Digital Subscriber Line) or cable as a last-mile solution. In addition, WiMAX can be used in mobile environments to provide high-bandwidth services such as IPTV (Internet Protocol Television) and video games. Thus, WiMAX is an important access technology in next-generation wireless networks. There are many challenges in WiMAX on how to offer quality of service, reduce interference and power consumption, provide mobility management, offer various multimedia services and create secure communications. The goal of this Special Issue is to explore the researchorientated results, trials and pilot studies to solve various problems and challenges foreseen in future for WiMAX.
