IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) aims to present high speed wireless access to cover wide range coverage. The base station (BS) and the subscriber station (SS) are the main parts of WiMAX. WiMAX uses either Point-to-Multipoint (PMP) or mesh topologies. In the PMP mode, the SSs connect to the BS to gain access to the network. However, in the mesh mode, the SSs connect to each other to gain access to the BS. ...

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is a promising technology which can offer high speed voice, video and data services upto the requirements at the customer’s end. The objectives of this paper is to evaluate the Performance evaluation of a WiMAX system under various diversity schemes (Selection combining, Maximal ratio combining and Equal gain combining), employing differen...

Multiple antenna systems can offer significant improvements in system performance due to their ability to exploit multipath signal propagation and take advantage of its random nature in order to achieve diversity or spatial multiplexing gain. As such, they are very suitable for implementation in WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) systems to improve its performance in harsh ...

The IEEE 802.16 Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) standard is widely used for fixed and mobile Internet access. WiMAX provides maximum data rate of 75 Mbps and high-speed Internet access to a wide range of devices used by clients over the last mile. Asymmetric Digital Subscriber Line (ADSL) is widely used to provide guaranteed service. In this paper, we compare performance...

In this paper we will review the basic mechanisms used in WiMAX networks to support quality of service guarantees. An outline of the various approaches has been proposed and involved tradeoffs have also been discussed. The various architecture and scheduling mechanism proposed to improve quality of service in WiMAX networks have also been discussed. Then the different type of service flows in W...

The heterogeneous interface for the mobile node is the key feature for the next generation mobile world. It provides the flexibility for the mobile devices for moving devices to the next available best network for high data rate connection. So it is firstly important to develop in ns2 for the research and educational purposes. It is very important to develop it in ns2 so that we can do experime...

Due to the integration of different wireless applications at different bands on a single device, multi-band microstrip patch antenna is the best solution keeping the overall size of the device small. In the present work, a metamaterial-inspired antenna is proposed for WiMAX/WLAN applications. Design studies, parametric analysis, simulation results along with measurements for a L-shape slotted g...

The standardization of worldwide interoperability for microwave access (WiMAX) represents an opportunity for a radical shift in viewing the Internet and its access systems. Considering the current constellation of the Internet service providers (ISPs), WiMAX can both improve its presence (by offering broadband connectivity where previously unavailable) and trim down its authority (if used as an...

The major performance objectives of the next-generation wireless communication systems are high link capacity and increase application/service performance from the user perspective. An attractive technology for providing broadband access is WiMAX network. For the network and application-level capacity and performance analysis, we first provide an overview of WiMAX network architecture and syste...

Mobile Ad-hoc Network is a self configurable routing protocol. Nodes in MANET can shift freely from one place to another place and each node in MANET can take action as a transmitter, receiver and router. WiMAX is a telecommunication technology standard which provides fixed and mobile Internet access. Access Server Network (ASN) in WiMAX provides the layer 2 connectivity to the user equipments....
