A Fair and Efficient Packet Scheduling Scheme for IEEE 802.16 Broadband Wireless Access Systems
This paper proposes a fair and efficient QoS scheduling scheme for IEEE
802.16 BWA systems that satisfies both throughput and delay guarantee to
various real and non-real time applications. The proposed QoS scheduling scheme
is compared with an existing QoS scheduling scheme proposed in literature in
recent past. Simulation results show that the proposed scheduling scheme can
provide a tight QoS guarantee in terms of delay, delay violation rate and
throughput for all types of traffic as defined in the WiMAX standard, thereby
maintaining the fairness and helps to eliminate starvation of lower priority
class services. Bandwidth utilization of the system and fairness index of the
resources are also encountered to validate the QoS provided by our proposed
scheduling scheme
Connection admission control and packet scheduling for IEEE 802.16 networks
Includes bibliographical references.The IEEE 802.16 standard introduced as one of the Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (WMAN) for Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) which is known as Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX), provides a solution of broadband connectivity to areas where wired infrastructure is economically and technically infeasible. Apart from the advantage of having high speeds and low costs, IEEE 802.16 has the capability to simultaneously support various service types with required QoS characteristics. ... While IEEE 802.16 standard defines medium access control (MAC) and physical (PHY) layers specification, admission control and packet scheduling mechanisms which are important elements of QoS provisioning are left to vendors to design and implement for service differentiation and QoS support
Performance Analysis of QoS in PMP Mode WiMax Networks
IEEE 802.16 standard supports two different topologies: point to multipoint
(PMP) and Mesh. In this paper, a QoS mechanism for point to multipoint of IEEE
802.16 and BS scheduler for PMP Mode is proposed. This paper also describes
quality of service over WiMAX networks. Average WiMAX delay, Average WiMAX load
and Average WiMAX throughput at base station is analyzed and compared by
applying different scheduler at Base station and at fixed nodes
An enhanced approach for augmentation of synchronized bandwidth request in WiMAX
This paper carried out a study on the bandwidth request for real-time polling
services. In our study, we discovered that although the base station granted the subscriber
station to send the bandwidth request, the subscriber station may not be able to allocate
the bandwidth request. It is due to processing delay and multicast polling in the subscriber
station, which results the bandwidth request being padded unintentionally. The loss of
bandwidth requests will cause the degradation of the real-time polling service
performance. Therefore, we propose a scheme to overcome this problem. The results of
the experiment show that the proposed scheme improves the performance of real-time
polling services

Efficient Resource Management Mechanism for 802.16 Wireless Networks Based on Weighted Fair Queuing
Wireless Networking continues on its path of being one of the most commonly used means of communication. The evolution of this technology has taken place through the design of various protocols. Some common wireless protocols are the WLAN, 802.16 or WiMAX, and the emerging 802.20, which specializes in high speed vehicular networks, taking the concept from 802.16 to higher levels of performance. As with any large network, congestion becomes an important issue. Congestion gains importance as more hosts join a wireless network. In most cases, congestion is caused by the lack of an efficient mechanism to deal with exponential increases in host devices. This can effectively lead to very huge bottlenecks in the network causing slow sluggish performance, which may eventually reduce the speed of the network. With continuous advancement being the trend in this technology, the proposal of an efficient scheme for wireless resource allocation is an important solution to the problem of congestion. The primary area of focus will be the emerging standard for wireless networks, the 802.16 or “WiMAX”. This project, attempts to propose a mechanism for an effective resource management mechanism between subscriber stations and the corresponding base station
