Abstract

WiMAX became popular due to simplicity of installation and cost reduction compared with traditional DSL cable. It is very important to provide Quality of Service (QoS) to end user to guarantee diversifying requirements of different applications in WiMAX. The system requirement of next-generation mobile WiMAX is supposed to be based on IEEE 802.16 m which is still in letter ballot stage specifically considering Indian environment. This paper presents an optimized architecture and scenario based on the recently standardized IEEE 802.16 m framework, integrating both mobility management and QoS in Indian scenario. Moreover, we analyse the QoS issues like throughput, uplink and downlink packet drop. OPNET-based simulation platform has been introduced for the verification of analytical model and results. The numerical results found in simulation can be used to select proper network configuration.
