Martikainen, Henrik PHY and MAC Layer Performance Optimization of the IEEE 802.16 System Jyvaskyla: University of Jyvaskyla, 2012, 80 p.(+included articles) (Jyvaskyla Studies in Computing ISSN 1456-5390; 154) ISBN 978-951-39-4829-0 (nid.) ISBN 978-951-39-4830-6 (PDF) Finnish summary Diss. This thesis concentrates on how to improve the performance of the IEEE 802.16 system in three main areas. The first problem area is system throughput optimization by selecting the optimal MAC PDU size when ARQ is used. A method for selecting the optimal size is proposed and evaluated. In the second part, various ARQ features are evaluated and also the performance of the ARQ and HARQ error correction methods are evaluated. Finally, the two different frame optimization problems are investigated. First the three duplexing modes of IEEE 802.16 are compared, namely Time Division Duplexing, Full Frequency Division Duplexing and Half Frequency Division Duplexing. A novel group division algorithm is proposed for H-FDD. Second, the relay mechanism of IEEE 802.16 is presented and its performance evaluated. The performance evaluation of all presented problems is done by simulations with theWINSE extension which is build on top of the NS-2 network simulator.
