Abstract :
This paper presents the architecture, design, implementation and samples of tests performed on a testbed for IEEE 802.16/WiMax access technology while used in a multi-domain environment IP networks. The final target was to implement a system capable to offer connectivity services, with different levels of end to end QoS guarantees, adaptable to different applications. Flexible solutions are proposed for IEEE 802.16 service flows management and control, complemented with end to end signaling. The testbed and results presented in this paper are samples of the work performed within the framework of the European project WEIRD.
