2. Reading assignments: prepare yourself for 10/22 class. We will discuss the subjects next week.

10/22: WiMAX

WiMAX Business

1. WiMAX 802.16e is not substitute of 3G.
3G spans from physical layer to applications while 802.16e is MAC.

2. WiMAX is part of a bigger infrastructure.
Still needs networking and transport control to support applications.

3. WiMAX highlights state of the art of computer networking while 3G and beyond is state of the art of telecommunications.

4. WiMAX points a new direction of cost down and quality of service. Maybe it is time of paradigm shift from telecom (3G and B3G) to computer networking (IEEE802). Remember 802.16 is basically non contention-based while 802.3 and 802.11 are all contention-based.

根據評估,萬一台灣爆發新型流感大流行,台灣可能有五百三十萬人感染,七萬多人住院,一萬四千多人死亡,衛生署疾病管制局做最壞打算,不但將要騰出全台的隔離病房,更調用大型體育館集中收治病患,動員醫療人員上前線防疫。
