Abstract

Today’s wireless technologies such as IEEE 802.16 (a.k.a. WiMAX)³ for long-haul communications and IEEE 802.11 (e.g., WiFi)¹⁵ and Bluetooth⁵ for short distances are widely deployed. While WiFi is suitable for a small local wireless network, WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) allows for communications over tens of kilometers and thus can be used to provide a highspeed wireless “last mile” service to local networks. As beneficiaries, users can move freely without disconnection from the network. Wireless networks are therefore an excellent infrastructure for important applications such as disaster relief efforts and military collaborative networks.
