Scheduling Techniques for WiMax

This chapter proposes a state-of-the-art of scheduling techniques for WiMax. We first summarize the practical considerations of a WiMax scheduling algorithm in order to make a link between a scheduling algorithm and its implementation in WiMax. Then, we analyze the proposed use of some known algorithms for WiMax and then some scheduling algorithms specifically proposed for WiMax. Finally, we draw a comparison between the different possible scheduling methods and highlight the main points of each of them.
