Management Performance Enhancement Techniques Figure 1.2 Chapters overview Introduction 1.2.3 Chapter 4 IEEE 802.16 WiMAX The IEEE 802.16 WiMAX technology, the competitor to 3G-LTE is discussed in Chapter 4. The air interface of WiMAX along with its performance in the lab and field environments are presented. The WiMAX certification process conducted by WiMAX Forum and its evolution towards IEEE 802.16m (4G candidate) are also presented in the chapter. 1.2.4 Chapter 5 3GPP2 CDMA2000 1xEV-DO Chapter 5 discusses 3GPP2 EV-DO (Evolution Data Optimized) technology which is based on CDMA. The two revisions of EV-DO (1xEV-DO Rev 0 and 1xEV-DO Rev A) have been deployed in many parts of the world and there are more than 145 million users of EV-DOEV-DO. The key features of these two single carrier technologies have been discussed in the chapter. Details of multicarrier EV-DOEV-DO Revision B along with its performance are provided. The key elements of UMB (Ultra Mobile Broadband) or EV-DO Revision C which is based on OFDMA are listed. After failing to get any meaningful support from the industr
