What is WiMAX?
Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is the common name associated to the IEEE 802.16a/d(REV)/e standards. It supports fixed and mobile wireless broadband connectivity Connectivity at rates of up to 100 Mb/sec (802.16m, Varies with respect to distance and condition of medium) WiMAX working group defines its - Medium access control and Physical Layer Profile Better security, authentication, and protection against theft of service Possibility to use both licensed and unlicensed frequencies GOAL of WiMAX: Provide Telecom type services to Voice without silence suppression (T1/E1) + Packet switched network for real time voice with silence suppression or video conferencing + Non real time traffic like on Internet over broadband wireless with QoS

Introduction to 802.16
IEEE 802.16 (2001)
Air Interface for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access System MAC and PHY Specifications for 10 66 GHZ (LoS) One PHY: Single Carrier Connection-oriented, TDM/TDMA MAC, QoS, Privacy
802.16d, Fixed WiMAX, QoS, 2-11 GHz, 2004 802.16 (Original Fixed BWA, 10-66GHz, 2001)
Traffic Parameters
UGS
Sustained maximum traffic rate Maximum sustained traffic rate, minimum reserved traffic rate Same as rtPS
rtPS
Data application with minimum rate requirements, e.g. FTP Data applications with no minimum rate requirements
Service Flow
A unidirectional MAC-layer transport service characterized by a set of QoS parameters, e.g., latency, jitter, and throughput assurances Identified by a 32-bit SFID (Service Flow ID)
12
ertPS: Extended-rtPS
Mainly Supports Voice Packets with Silence Zone compressed The variable sized packets and interval may be fixed or variable Traffic parameters used are same as rtPS

WiMAX Nodes
There are basically two nodes in WiMAX
Subscriber Station (SS) Base Station (BS)
SS: One side of SS connected to users equipments (UE) and other side connected to BS (or, each UE can also be directly used as SS) BS: One side of BS connected to SS and other side to core network (i.e., outer world)

Scheduling services
Scheduling services represent the data handling mechanisms supported by the MAC scheduler for data transport on a connection Each connection is associated with a single scheduling service A scheduling service is determined by a set of QoS parameters that quantify aspects of its behavior SS and BS has scheduler to schedule 37 the packet
