“…Polling in every frame is the best way to ensure the delay bound; however, this results in a significant polling overhead as mentioned earlier. Some research papers recommend polling in every video frame such as one every 33 ms [30] because video frames are generated every 30-40 ms. Without the arrival information of packets, it is difficult for BS to guarantee the delay requirements.…”

Abstract-Interest in broadband wireless access (BWA) has been growing due to increased user mobility and the need for data access at all times. IEEE 802.16e based WiMAX networks promise the best available quality of experience for mobile data service users. Unlike wireless LANs, WiMAX networks incorporate several quality of service (QoS) mechanisms at the Media Access Control (MAC) level for guaranteed services for data, voice and video. The problem of assuring QoS is basically that of how to allocate available resources among users in order to meet the QoS criteria such as delay, delay jitter and throughput requirements. IEEE standard does not include a standard scheduling mechanism and leaves it for implementer differentiation. Scheduling is, therefore, of special interest to all WiMAX equipment makers and service providers. This paper discusses the key issues and design factors to be considered for scheduler designers. In addition, we present an extensive survey of recent scheduling research. We classify the proposed mechanisms based on the use of channel conditions. The goals of scheduling are to achieve the optimal usage of resources, to assure the QoS guarantees, to maximize goodput and to minimize power consumption while ensuring feasible algorithm complexity and system scalability.

“…Polling is allowed for this service. Some proposed schemes recommend polling intervals of over 1 second [30]. The polling should be issued if and only if the average rate which is calculated from Proportional Fairness (PF) is less than the minimum reserved rate [36].…”

Abstract-Throughput vs. distance analysis and coverage requirements are critical issues in planning wireless network deployments. With the recent availability of IEEE 802.16e and its promise of larger coverage areas for high-speed data communication, evaluating it in a real-world environment is very important to us in our ongoing study of standards based wireless technologies for the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA). In this paper, we present results obtained with our IEEE 802.16e module for NS-2, particularly throughput vs. distance performance, and its consideration for designing a real-world multi-hop IEEE 802.16e testbed. Firstly, a quantitative analysis of throughput vs. distance performance is conducted via extensive simulation, and the optimal modulation and coding scheme as well as channel bandwidth profiles are identified for specific distances. Secondly, we present a real-world multi-hop IEEE 802.16e testbed design intended for installation along BNSF Railway track in Nebraska. We apply our findings towards selecting various base station deployment locations and their appropriate communications parameters in order achieve best possible multi-hop throughput performance. We also provide a client access coverage analysis for the various locations.Index Terms-IEEE 802.16e Wireless Networks, Railroad Mobile Multi-hop Test Bed.
