  1. Performance Evaluation of the IEEE 802.16 MAC for QoS Support Aemen Hassaan Lodhi 05060021

  2. Outline • IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) • MAC layer • Project Objective • Simulation Environment • Performance Metrics • Work accomplished • Future strategy

  3. IEEE 802.16 (WiMAX) • Wireless MAN – provides network access to subscriber stations (SS) with radio base stations (BS) • Offers an alternative to cabled access networks – fiber optic links, coaxial cables using cable modems, DSL links • Supports nomadic and mobile clients on the go (IEEE 802.16 e, 2004)

  4. MAC layer • Manage the resources of the air-link efficiently and provide Quality of Service (QoS) differentiation for different connections/streams • Supporting Point to Multipoint and Mesh network models • Performing Link Adaption & ARQ functions • Transmission Scheduling • Admission Control • Link Initialization • Fragmentation and Retransmission

  5. Project Objective • Verify via simulation the ability of IEEE 802.16 MAC to handle multimedia traffic having stringent QoS requirements • Determine the best scheduling scheme provided by IEEE 802.16 for multimedia traffic • Simulations to be performed on NS-2

  6. Scheduling Services provided by IEEE 802.16 MAC • Classification of applications based on the commonality of: • QoS service requirements (e.g. real time applications with stringent delay requirements, best effort service applications with minimum guaranteed bandwidth) • Packet arrival pattern (fixed/variable sized data packets at periodic/aperiodic intervals) • Mechanisms to send Bandwidth requests to the BS

  7. Scheduling Services provided by IEEE 802.16 MAC • Unsolicited Grant Service – supports real-time applications with strict delay requirements with fixed sized data packets • Real-Time Polling Service – supports real time applications with less stringent delay requirements, generating variable sized data packets • Non-Real-Time Service – supports applications with no specific delay requirements, reserves a minimum amount of bandwidth • Best Effort Service – supports applications with no specific delay requirements – like the internet

  8. Simulation Environment • NS 2 Simulator • PMP mode • Time Division Multiple Access mode for transmission from SSs to BS • Downlink and Uplink subframes duplexed using Frequency Division Duplex • Full Duplex Subscriber Stations

  9. Traffic Models • Voice over IP traffic • Modeled as ON/OFF source with Voice Activity Detection (VAD) • Packets generated only during ON period • Duration of ON/OFF period distributed exponentially • Videoconference traffic • MPEG 4 video trace

  10. Performance Evaluation • Affect of frame duration on delay • Performance comparison of RTPS with nRTPS when they coexist in the same SS • Change in delay with the number of SS • Analysis of simulation results • (More comparisons to be added)

  11. Work accomplished • Literature survey • Set up of the simulator environment • Integration of the WiMAX module in the NS-2 simulator • WiMAX module obtained from Netowrks & Distributed Systems Laboratory (NDSL) members, Computer Science and Information Engineering, Chang Gung University, Taoyuan, Taiwan • “The Design and Implementation of WiMAX Module for NS-2 simulator” Proceedings from the 2006 workshop on ns-2: the IP network simulator WNS2 '06 ACM Press
