Partition-based bandwidth management for mobile WiMAX IEEE802.16e

Abstract

Due to robust wireless channel, bandwidth management has become an important issue in wireless broadband networks such as WiMAX. To ensure an efficient bandwidth management and quality of service achieved to subscriber station (ss) in WiMAX, an efficient admission control is required to monitor the traffics and manages the bandwidth while the SS are continuously entering and leaving the network. In this paper, we present bandwidth partition approach to bandwidth management through call admission control for mobile WiMAX. The bandwidth was partitioned into three, thus; constant partition, variable partition and partition for handover traffics. Simulation results showed that partition-based bandwidth management outperformed the Adaptive bandwidth management.
