Abstract:
This paper studies and evaluates a WiMAX relay architecture and its protocols to support multicasting/ broadcasting service and to address several related design issues. Performance of a video application is evaluated in term of different QoS measures. Our results demonstrate that the proposed architecture is feasible for real implementation and in line with the PMP characteristics of WiMAX.
