OFDM-based Broadband Wireless Networks covers the latest technological advances in digital broadcasting, wireless LAN, and mobile networks to achieve high spectral efficiency, and to meet peak requirements for multimedia traffic. The book emphasizes the OFDM modem, air-interface, medium access-control (MAC), radio link protocols, and radio network planning.An Instructor Support FTP site is available from the Wiley editorial department.

HUI LIU, PhD, is Associate Professor in the Electrical Engineering Department at the University of Washington. Dr. Liu has published more than forty journal articles and holds eighteen awarded or pending patents. He founded Broadstorm Inc. in 2000 and developed the world's first OFDMA-based mobile broadband system. He is the author of Signal Processing Applications in CDMA Communications and is the General Chairman for the 2005 Asilomar Conference on Signals, Systems, and Computers.

GUOQING LI, PhD, is a Research Scientist in the Communication Technology Lab of Intel, where she works on broadband wireless technologies. Previously, Dr. Li worked as a senior system engineer at UTStarcom, developing algorithms for physical, multiple access control, radio link control, and radio resource control layers for 3G-WCDMA and IS-95 networks. Dr. Li has published more than twenty journal articles and conference papers.
