Abstract

Regarding the necessity of internet and also increasing demand for various services, WiMAX network with high bandwidth and suitable speed of transfer can be considered as a solution for public access. This technology with production in considerable volumes from fixed to portable versions shows notable progress in wireless connectivity. Capability of Quality of Service (QoS) support provides user satisfaction in real-time and interactive services over WiMax networks. The purpose of this study is to investigate WiMAX network performance over a Metro-Ethernet backhaul. As in WiMAX network the QoS is of due importance, the investigation of the possibility of transfer and maintenance of this quality is considered. A method for WiMAX and Metro-Ethernet fusion is suggested and its performance is evaluated by simulation.
