Abstract :
In this paper is presented an architecture for the control of wireless resources in a WiMAX access network, designed within the 1ST WEIRD project. Starting from WiMAX Forum architecture, new software modules have been introduced in the Control plane in order to manage dataflows in WiMAX access networks. The proposed solution allows to guarantee the requested QoS to data flows. Interaction between the Control plane and the Transport plane is realized in a equipment vendor independent way, thanks to the introduction of an Adaptation layer between the Control plane and the IEEE 802.16 MAC layer.
