Performance Analysis of QoS in PMP Mode WiMax Networks

TL;DR

This paper analyzes QoS performance in PMP mode WiMAX networks, focusing on delay, load, and throughput, and compares different schedulers at the base station and fixed nodes.

Contribution

It proposes a QoS mechanism and BS scheduler for PMP WiMAX networks, providing a detailed analysis of QoS metrics under various scheduling strategies.

Findings

Different schedulers significantly impact WiMAX QoS metrics.

Average delay, load, and throughput vary with scheduler choice.

The proposed QoS mechanism improves network performance understanding.

Abstract

IEEE 802.16 standard supports two different topologies: point to multipoint (PMP) and Mesh. In this paper, a QoS mechanism for point to multipoint of IEEE 802.16 and BS scheduler for PMP Mode is proposed. This paper also describes quality of service over WiMAX networks. Average WiMAX delay, Average WiMAX load and Average WiMAX throughput at base station is analyzed and compared by applying different scheduler at Base station and at fixed nodes.
