The paper analyses performance of IEEE 802.16 standard, also known as WiMAX, when relay stations are introduced. Thanks to this feature, coverage area and throughput of the system ...
The IEEE 802.16 standard was designed for Wireless Metropolitan Area Network (WMAN). The coverage of this new technology is expanded up to 50 km. IEEE 802.16 also has inherent QoS ...
Deploying the new generation "Internet Protocol" (IPv6) over 802.16-based wireless networks is facing an important challenge as the IEEE 802.16 standard is failing to sup...
This paper presents a performance analysis of best effort support over the MAC protocol proposed in the IEEE 802.16 standard. We focus on the uplink channel since it is the critic...

In this paper, we propose an alternative QoS architecture for the IEEE 802.16 Standard, that incorporates a priority based packet scheduling and a new traffic shaping. For this, w...
Without physical boundaries, a wireless network faces many more security threats than a wired network does. Therefore, in the IEEE 802.16 standard a security sublayer is specified...
— The IEEE 802.16 standard is providing support for Mesh networks of which two scheduling mechanisms (i.e., centralized scheduling and distributed scheduling) are proposed. Centr...
— Wireless mesh networks are a viable solution to provide broadband wireless access (BWA) in a cost efficient and flexible manner. The IEEE 802.16 standard is currently one of ...
— This paper analyzes some critical security issues in the family of IEEE 802.16 standard that has not been addressed so far. In particular two of the key features of the standar...
