The effect of user mobility on the traffic performance of mobile WiMAX for multimedia services over the planned cells

Abstract

Based on the planned cells, the traffic performance of the Mobile WiMAX for multimedia services are simulated to observe the relationship among vehicle speed, MIMO antenna mode, operation environment and channel throughput. The effect of user mobility on the handoff rate for new generation and handoff calls is considered in the simulations. The channel throughputs of Mobile WiMAX are observed during the MS speed increases from 50 km/h to 100 km/h.
