Sommario/riassunto

Already deployed in over 42 countries, WiMAX is quickly becoming one of the most important technologies for IP-based high-speed



communications. This practical book delivers a solid understanding of WiMAX technology and RF network planning and deployment techniques without undue mathematical rigors. You find numerous examples and real-world case studies that illustrate the evolution of the design process. The book provides hands-on details on essential considerations and important aspects of the technology, from link budget, communication channel characterization, and capacity, to frequency planning, channel impairments and point-to-point link design. You also find in-depth discussions on WiMAX security and how WiMAX complements other technologies.

Sommario/riassunto

The present book discusses three significant challenges of the built environment, namely regional and global climate change, vulnerability, and survivability under the changing climate. Synergies between local climate change, energy consumption of buildings and energy poverty, and health risks highlight the necessity to develop mitigation strategies to counterbalance overheating impacts. The studies presented here assess the underlying issues related to urban overheating. Further, the impacts of temperature extremes on the low-income population and increased morbidity and mortality have been discussed. The increasing intensity, duration, and frequency of heatwaves due to human-caused



climate change is shown to affect underserved populations. Thus, housing policies on resident exposure to intra-urban heat have been assessed. Finally, opportunities to mitigate urban overheating have been proposed and discussed.
