WiMAX, defined by the IEEE 802.16 standard, is one of leading broadband technology that aims to provide high speed Internet access. With its mobility version, WiMAX also supports mobility among the devices. WiMAX, however, still faces some of the challenges; one of them is related to the implementation of a proper queuing mechanism at the MAC layer. Since the scheduling mechanism for WiMAX has left undefined in the standard, it is an open research topic. Several Researchers have suggested various queueing mechanisms by using different simulation tools and techniques, and many of them have been implemented by the WiMAX vendors. Different types of Internet applications have different bandwidth requirements and, therefore, various mobile Internet users demand for their due share on transmission channel in order to have an efficient and effective communication.. This requires an adaptive and efficient queuing mechanism that could also support multiple data services running concurrently. Delay in the scheduling process, throughput and priorities of data service are important aspects for any queuing algorithm. A fair queuing policy with less delay and good throughput is indeed a need of mobile WiMAX networks. This thesis work implements and evaluates different queuing mechanisms against the above mentioned parameters. For a test drive purpose, two common queuing mechanisms namely round robin & equiprobable have been assessed and compared on the designed MATLAB based simulation that shows round robin has better performance than equiprobable in terms of more throughput and less delay, while both mechanisms have almost same service priorities. In order to verify the results, statistical significance based future prediction model has been designed which also confirms the above mentioned results. The designed test bed could be used to evaluate any queuing mechanism and could also be customized for uplink and downlink Queueing mechanisms for both mesh and point-to-multipoint WiMAX networks UR - https://tinyurl.com/2tz3hk4r ER -
