Interpretation of IEEE 802.16e (WiMAX)

The development of 802.16 standards for Broadband Wireless Access technologies was motivated by the rapidly growing need for high-speed, ubiquitous and cost-effective access. The limitations of conventional Broadband wireless access have been overcome with the scalable features of WiMAX. The aim of this paper is to analyse all compulsory features of the WiMAX OFDM physical layer specified in IEEE 802.16e. This paper gives an overview about the WiMAX standard and studies the performance of a WiMAX transmitter and receiver. This is done in order to study the WiMAX network practically. WiMAX network is implemented and analysed in great detail with the help of simulation results. Simulation is performed in the Matlab simulink.
