Performance Evaluation of WiFi and WiMax Using Opnet

چکیده
IEEE 802.16e, mobile Wi-Max, is a wireless technology used to provide very high data rate over large areas to a large number of users where broadband is unavailable. WiMAX network operators provide WiMAX subscriber units that enable connection to the metropolitan WiMAX network while WiFi units are used for connecting local devices within homes or businesses. In this paper, we use OPNET Modeler to simulate and compare WiFi and WiMAX in a small area network and compare their performance in terms of mobility.

Simulation and Performance Evaluation of WiFi and WiMAX using OPNET
Wireless Fidelity (WiFi) network is based on the IEEE 802.11 standard. Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), based on IEEE 802.16, is a standard with similar principles. The main advantage of WiMAX over WiFi is that it covers larger areas and has higher data rates. WiMAX network operators provide WiMAX subscriber units that enable connection to the metropolitan WiMAX network ...
متن کاملPerformance Analysis of WiMax/WiFi System
WiMAX and WiFi are considered as the promising broadband access solutions for wireless MANs and LANs, respectively. In the recent works WiMAX is considered suitable as a backhaul service to connect multiple dispersed WiFi „hotspots‟. Hence a new integrated WiMAX/WiFi architecture has been proposed in the literatures. In this paper the performances of integrated WiMAX/WiFi network have been inve...
متن کاملIntegration of WiFi and WiMAX Services: Bandwidth Optimization and Traffic Combination
95 ABSTRACT: The integration of WiFi and WiMAX will allow seamless connection between users from both systems with a greater capacity, higher bit rates and mobility access. To enable interoperability between WiFi and WiMAX a special gateway is required known as WiFi/WiMAX router. In this paper, we investigate, through the use of OPNET simulation tools, number of WiFi users or hotspots could acc...
متن کاملMobility-Aware Interference Avoidance Scheme for Vehicular WLANs
Communication technology of future networks is predicted to provide a large variety of services including WiFi service in vehicular network. In this paper, we assume that vehicles are embedded with WiMAX antenna and in-vehicle terminals receive WiMAX traffic through WiFi interface. This assumption will impose severe performance degradation due to interference among mobile BSSs when WiFi access ...
متن کاملPerformance and Handoff Evaluation of Heterogeneous Wireless Networks (hwns) Using Opnet Simulator
The need for coupling Heterogeneous Wireless Networks (HWNs) such as WLAN, WiMAX or UMTS, play a great role in developing towards fourth generation of wireless networks. Hence, the algorithms for these networks must be developed especially handoff algorithms to present a better performance in such heterogeneous networks. In this paper, several projects have different types of networks were impl...
