Admission Control and Scheduling for QoS Provisioning in WiMAX Networks

The IEEE 802.16 (2004) standard, often referenced as WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access Forum), has been developed aiming at standardizing the broadband wireless technology. The standard defines the air interface and the medium access protocol for Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks (WMAN), providing high transmission rates for commercial and residential access to the Internet. In order to provide support to the big diversity of applications available on the Internet, such as voice, video and multimedia services as well as files transfer, the standard and its extension, IEEE 802.16e (2005), define signaling mechanisms between the base station and the subscriber stations and also five service levels: unsolicited grant service, real-time polling service, extended real-time polling service, non-real-time polling service and best-effort. In both directions, uplink (from the subscriber stations to the base station) and downlink (from the base station to the subscriber stations), the packets are associated with a service flow by the Medium Access Control ABSTrACT
