WiMAX technology provides a Quality of Service (QoS) system that allows system operators to configure a network to provide maximum performance compared to conventional Best Effort (BE) systems. In this paper, we address the increase in number of data rich mobile devices and the performance issues associated with Video On Demand (VOD) multimedia traffic over a WiMAX network. We present the results...
In IEEE 802.16j-based relay networks, frequency reuse by RS(Relay Station)s and BS(Base Station) is considered as a way to improve the frequency utilization. However, since the same frequency band is used by RSs and BS, MS located in the middle between neighboring transmitting stations suffer severe interference or even outage. This co-channel interference within a cell is a major bottleneck in providing...
Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) offers QoS-aware broadband access through a wireless medium, being IEEE 802.16 one of the BWA standards. In it, the Base Station (BS) is responsible of allocating the required bandwidth by the rest of nodes, acting as a central controller. The other nodes, Subscriber Stations (SSs), have to send a bandwidth request to give the BS the knowledge about their needs, taking...
IEEE 802.16j mobile multi-hop relay network is proposed to enhance the system coverage, user throughput and the capacity of fixed/mobile broadband wireless access system in IEEE 802.16d/802.16e. Relay station (RS) enables data transmission between base station and end user when the channel is not good for transmission. Besides, one relay station also communicates with a pair of other relay stations...
IEEE 802.16e WiMAX standard classifies packets in the decreasing order of priority as UGS, RTPS, eRTPS, nRTPS, BE. This mechanism of classification is application dependent and a user will not be able to request for a change in priority even though higher priority traffic bandwidth might be available and the user is ready to pay more for elevation of low priority traffic to higher priority. We propose...
In this paper, we consider an uplink multiservice networks employing Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiple Access (OFDMA) for WiMAX networks. Since the OFDMA physical resource available for scheduling is frame by frame, the uplink scheduler located at base station (BS) must efficiently allocate available resources to the subscriber stations (SSs) in response to constant or bursty data traffic on...
IEEE 802.16 wireless networks, known as WiMAX, employ a mechanism for guaranteed time allocation to mobile stations in order to meet the different quality of service requirements for service flows. The base station allocates contention-based time slots for the stations to transmit their requests for additional bandwidth. Each contention time slot can accommodate a single transmission if there is no...
The use of Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) technology is increasing due to the use of Internet and multimedia applications with strict requirements of end-to-end delay and jitter, through wireless devices. The IEEE 802.16 standard, which defines the physical (PHY) and the medium access control (MAC) layers, is one of the BWA standards. Its MAC layer is centralized basis, where the Base Station (BS)...
Built on the basis of the classified subscribe station (SS) priorities, a policy-based call admission control scheme is proposed to maximize the system bandwidth throughput and decrease the network delay at the base station(BS) in IEEE 802.16d system. In the simulation, we use throughput comparison and the delay increasing trend as the evaluating criterions. The simulation results show that our proposed...
In order to support real-time and bandwidth demanding applications, the IEEE 802.16 standard is expected to provide quality of service (QoS). Although the standard defines a QoS signaling framework and five service levels, scheduling mechanisms for this network are unspecified. In this paper, we propose a scheduling scheme for the uplink traffic which is fully standard-compliant and can be easily...
WiBro is defined as a subset of the IEEE 802.16 standard and is developed based on the mobile WiMAX. WiBro delivers wireless data with a high transfer rate to provide mobile broadband services. However, it is necessary to consider radio resources efficiency due to limited resources. In this paper, we propose frequency assignment (FA) load balancing algorithm in order to use resources efficiently,...
An opportunistic stable queue (OSQ) scheduling scheme is proposed for scheduling heterogeneous traffic in the down-link of the IEEE 802.16 wireless metropolitan area networks (WMANs). The scheduler, located at the base station, uses the information of the channel and queue status of the users to schedule the traffic with different quality of service requirement and different arrival rate admitted...
