(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, www.ieee.org) A membership organization that includes engineers, scientists and students in electronics and allied fields. Founded in 1963, it has more than 360,000 individual members in more than 150 countries and is involved with setting standards for computers and communications.
The Computer Society of the IEEE (www.computer.org) is the largest of the IEEE's 39 member societies with nearly 100,000 members itself. Over 40 per cent of them live and work outside the U.S., which gives it a strong international focus. Meetings, technical conferences, working committees and the latest computing research are areas of emphasis.

- Adaptive Antenna Selection at Mobile Stations for SDMA in WiMAX Networks
- The IEEE 802.16/WiMAX standards has fully embraced multi-antenna technology and can, thus, deliver robust performance and high transmission rates. Nevertheless, due to its inherent cost concerns, a WiMAX Mobile Station MS should preferably contain fewer Radio Frequency RF chains than antenna elements. Thus, antenna selection, wherein a subset of antennas...
