Abstract

WiMAX (World Wide Interoperability for mobile access) 802.16 standard is a real revolution in wireless metropolitan area networks (wireless MANs) that enables high-speed access to data, video and voice services. WiMAX networks are providing a crucial element in order to satisfy on-demand media with high data rates. This crucial element is the QoS and service classes attached per application. Scheduling is the process to support Qos, so different schedulers are in literature to support different QoS parameters. The existing schedulers prioritize the traffic from UGS to rtPS ,nrtPS and be in last, so the traffic with lower priority suffers the most and the parameter latency increases, so the paper consider this gap and proposed a technique which minimizes latency and thus improves throughput and reduces the packet losses.
Keywords: WiMAX, IEEE802.16, QoS, Scheduling algorithms.
