Next Generation Wireless Technologies:

High throughput WiFi , WiMAX, and UWB
May 22-23, 2006
9am-4pm
This course on latest advances in wireless data networking is designed for engineers and
managers involved in design and deployments of wireless equipment. In addition to
providing an overview of technology, issues, standards it also covers the technical details.
After a brief introduction to WiFi (IEEE 802.11) technology, we discuss the technological
developments that enable high-speed IEEE 802.11n LANs. We present and compare
different proposals.
The second part of the course is on broadband wireless access using WiMAX. Technical
developments that allow WiMAX to provide high-speed over a long distance are explained.
The key features of various versions of IEEE 802.16 (802.16, 802.16a, 802.16d) are presented.
The mobile broadband access 802.16e is also described. Again technology, industry status,
and products are discussed. Ultra wide-band (UWB) technology for high-speed personal
area networks is covered in the third part. The following topics will be covered:

Wireless Networking: Issues and Trends
Top 10 Recent Networking Developments
Wireless: History
Life Cycles of Technologies
Wireless Industry Trends
Wireless Research Trends
Wireless Local Area Networks (WLANs):
IEEE 802.11 Features
802.11 MAC
Current Activities in IEEE 802.11
Next Generation: 802.11n
Enhanced Quality of Service: 802.11e
