TL;DR

This paper compares Wi-Fi and WiMAX networks, evaluating their performance, security, and QoS, highlighting WiMAX's superior performance and discussing deployment challenges and security mechanisms.

Contribution

It provides an in-depth comparison of Wi-Fi and WiMAX, including performance evaluation, security mechanisms, and deployment considerations, which was lacking in prior comparative studies.

Findings

WiMAX outperforms Wi-Fi in overall network performance.

WiMAX offers better QoS and security features.

Deployment of Wi-Fi-WiMAX requires specific security configurations.

Abstract

Wireless networking has become an important area of research in academic and industry. The main objectives of this paper is to gain in-depth knowledge about the Wi-Fi- WiMAX technology and how it works and understand the problems about the WiFi- WiMAX technology in maintaining and deployment. The challenges in wireless networks include issues like security, seamless handover, location and emergency services, cooperation, and QoS.The performance of the WiMAX is better than the Wi-Fi and also it provide the good response in the access. It's evaluated the Quality of Service (Qos) in Wi-Fi compare with WiMAX and provides the various kinds of security Mechanisms. Authentication to verify the identity of the authorized communicating client stations. Confidentiality (Privacy) to secure that the wirelessly conveyed information will remain private and protected. Take necessary actions and configurations that are needed in order to deploy Wi-Fi -WiMAX with increased levels of security and privacy
