Abstract

WiMAX can be considered as a new alternative technology for the masses in most of the countries in the world. This paper presents the results of WiMAX performance study on optimal boundary per WiMAX cell using NS-2 network simulator under different WiMAX network models. The Performance metrics measured in this study inclusive of packet loss, throughput, and delay. From the results, it could be deduced that IEEE 802.16 networks perform differently for different network traffic, number of mobile nodes, distance from base station and mobile speed. These results can be used as a guide line when implementing WiMAX for developed urban areas like suburbs of Kuala Lumpur.
