Abstract
Performance of WiMAX has been widely studied still the MAC protocols’
efficiency in various conditions is not fully understood. We evaluated the
earlier studies and realized that none of them provided a detailed analysis,
which could be used to assess an operational WiMAX system. This paper presents
a novel method to calculate theoretical maximum capacity of both Fixed and
Mobile WiMAX. MAC protocol’s efficiency is analyzed in different practical
cases and it is shown that with a certain bandwidth, modulation and channel
coding the MAC uplink overhead is critical to performance along with the
number of active subscriber’s stations and length of MAC PDUs.
