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.
