Analysis of Channel Conditions Based on Transmission Rate of 802.16 Wimax Network

Abstract

Broadband wireless communication in Metropolitan Area Networks is done through the IEEE 802.16 standard, also known as Wi-MAX. To achieve a good and efficient Quality of Service (QoS) in a Wi-MAX network, rate allocation is necessary. Rate allocation also provides fairness among the users. In this paper, we propose performance evaluation of Wi-MAX network based on transmission rate. By the simulation results, we deduce that the proposed scheme reduces the average delay and improves the average throughput. The Qualnet 6.1 Simulator was used to carry out the simulation.
