In IEEE 802.16e mobile WiMAX system, since mobile stations (MSs) send bandwidth request (BR) messages to base station (BS) during contention period when they need uplink channel to transmit data in the case of multicast polling or broadcast polling, the uplink performance is affected by the size of the contention period in the uplink subframe. The access delay will be increased if the size of the...
