Abstract: 4G is the technology to provide mobile broadband Internet access anywhere anytime in a cost effective manner. This tutorial is intended for those who want to learn the technical details of 4G and to explore the research challenges. This presentation also intended for professionals who are interested to understand 4G market potential. Among the two major contributions to 4G, one of the strongest contenders is WiMAX based on IEEE 802.16m standard. The objective of this tutorial is to provide an in-depth technical discussion about WiMAX technology as well as information about its current standardization and deployment status. This tutorial session is divided into the following sections: Introduction, 4G air interface, Network architecture, System performance, current deployments as well as the future of WiMAX. The state-of-art mobile WiMAX devices and chipsets are going to be showcased during this tutorial.

Jose Puthenkulam

Jose Puthenkulam: Mr. Jose Puthenkulam is the Director of WiMAX Standards in Intel's Mobile Wireless Group and Vice Chair of the IEEE 802.16 Working Group developing Broadband Wireless standards. In this role, he has been instrumental in mobilizing the industry to accelerate the development and evolution of 802.16 IEEE standards for Mobile WiMAX. Presently he is leading the standardization efforts for the 802.16m project targeted at satisfying the requirements for 4G technologies as set forth by the ITU. He was also the technical editor of the initial ITU-R contribution for inclusion of IEEE 802.16e into the IMT-2000 family of mobile wireless standards. He was the Assistant Technical Editor of the IEEE 802.16e Mobile Broadband Standard and the Co-Technical Editor of the IEEE 802.16g Air Interface Management Standard. At Intel since 1996, he has worked on wireless communications, security, video conferencing and information management protocols.
