Abstract
According to some estimates, by 2010WiMAX operators will cover areas
inhabited by more than 650 million people; however, current deployment is not
meeting previous expectations and predictions. Moreover, non-vendor,
third-party empirical evaluations of the technology are far from common. In
fact, most WiMAX studies have up to now solely employed simulation, modeling
and analytical tools. It is not really well understood what is in practice
possible with Commercial Off-The-Shelf (COTS)WiMAX equipment. This chapter
presents results from our recently concluded baseline, VoIP and IPTV synthetic
traffic measurement and analysis studies over WiMAX at the VTT Converging
Networks Laboratory (CNL) in Oulu, Finland, and aims at contributing to our
understanding about the potential of WiMAX in practice.
