WiMAX Overview and System Performance

In this paper, the performance of WiMax network with DL SIMO, DL MIMO and UL SIMO is analyzed via system simulations. Two data traffic models are considered, namely Web browsing (HTTP) and full buffer sessions, operating in multi path fading channels such as the ITU pedestrian-B and vehicular-A channels. The control channel coverage and reliability of WiMAX using realistic overhead is also analyzed in this paper.
