In mobile communication, User Equipment (UE) always demands to be on the network and to perform different errands using applications like file transfer, video streaming and conferencing and other applications like messaging, etc. It needs higher bit rate and hence, UE in recent networks like 4G heterogeneous wireless network continuously use vertical and horizontal handover. For better Quality of...
In next generation wireless networks like WiMAX, a dynamic Call Admission Control (CAC) plays an important role to ensure Quality of Service (QoS) of existing users and to efficiently utilize network resources. We propose a predictive CAC namely Wireless Fair Intelligent Admission Control (WFIAC) that admits or rejects a new incoming connection base on resource availability and load in the network...
In WiMAX architecture to avoid congestion at the base station, a mechanism namely WiMAX Fair Intelligent Congestion Control (WFICC) was proposed in [11]. WFICC ensures that the traffic is scheduled in such a way that the base station output buffer operates around a target operating point, without violating the Quality of Service (QoS) requirements of connections. However, only preliminary results...
SCIS is the State Company for Internet Services in Iraq that works as the main Internet Service Provider (ISP). After 2003 war in Iraq, there is extremely high demand for Internet service due to very long period of sanctions enforced on Iraq. However, satisfying such high demand is a challenging task; as the cost, number of subscribers and Quality of Service (QoS) are important factors that need to...
In this paper a new cross-layer connection admission control (CAC) algorithm in WiMAX networks is proposed. The CAC algorithm makes the decisions whether accept or not the new connections based on the quality of channel communications. Moreover, the proposed CAC works together with an uplink scheduling mechanism which allocates the network resources in accordance with the information about the quality...
Quality of service (QoS) is an important issue in the deployment IEEE 802.16 networks with real-time and non-real-time traffic integration. IEEE 802.16j is an extension of IEEE 802.16 to support relay transmission. In this paper, we propose a dynamic hybrid distributed scheduling mechanism (DHSM) for IEEE 802.16j networks with non-transparent relay stations. First, we define a suitable priority for...
This paper addresses specific smart grid communication requirements. It considers a last-mile network based on an IEEE 802.16 cell deployed to cover a group of customers and serve their Energy Services Interfaces. Based on the communication requirements of smart grid last-mile applications and entities, we propose a traffic priority model and setup for the WiMAX air interface. Finally, we evaluate...
The integrated architecture of complementary Ethernet Passive Optical Network (EPON) and Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) technologies combine the benefits of optical fiber capacity and wireless network mobility, which will become one of the promising broadband access technologies for next-generation network.

Regarding the necessity of internet and also increasing demand for various services, WiMAX network with high bandwidth and suitable speed of transfer can be considered as a solution for public access. This technology with production in considerable volumes from fixed to portable versions shows notable progress in wireless connectivity. Capability of Quality of Service (QoS) support provides user satisfaction...
In this paper, we suggest and investigate CDMA based contention resolution with base station assisted backoff (C-BAB) for orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) based WiMAX networks. Previous research on contention resolution considered CDMA with mobile assisted TBEB(C-MAB) suffers low contention efficiency and high access delay due to the type of accessing mechanism in WiMAX network...
Video conferencing service requires a multicast tree to distribute its multimedia contents to all participants. Link cost is very important in building such media distribution trees. In this research work, a multi-variable cost function is proposed. This cost function can calculate links' costs based on both network resources and application's requirements. Since participants may join the conference...
In this paper, we study the performance of some of the key scheduling algorithms such as Proportional Fair Scheduler, Modified Longest Weighted Delay First and Exponential Rule. We also propose a new algorithm called EXPQW, a variant of the Exponential rule which assigns weights to the subscriber stations based on their queue length and waiting time thereby ensuring fairness and quality of service...
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access or better known as WiMAX is a technology based on IEEE 802.16 standard with guaranteed QoS which provides high speed data rates. In this paper, we analyze the performance of VoIP over the commercial WiMAX networks through traffic measurements. The measurements focused on two QoS elements, jitter and latency that greatly affect the quality of the network...

Next Generation Wireless Networks (NGWNs) are expected to provide high data rate and optimized quality of service to multimedia and real-time applications over the Internet Protocol (IP) networks. To achieve these goals, handover plays a very critical role in maintaining the seamless connectivity when mobile terminals move across different cells or networks. In this paper, we propose a novel scheme...
The IEEE 802.16 is a standard for broad band wireless communication in Metropolitan Area Networks. The rate allocation is needed to provide QoS guarantees as well as fairness among the users. Channel error is one of the factors which disrupt the fair allocation of any traffic. In this paper, we propose performance evaluation of Wi-MAX based on band width and fairness, condition based rate allocation...
WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is emerging as one of the most promising technology for wireless communication network in metropolitan areas today.

Pricing plays a crucial role in trading any resource or service in the existing Broadband Wireless Access system i.e. WiMAX. Through a proper pricing strategy, a wireless service provider would like to achieve the highest revenue, while the end users would like to achieve the highest satisfaction from service usage. In order to make it feasible, in this paper we propose a tradeoff policy between the...
