Simulation study of IEEE 802.16a broadband wireless access
network

Abstract: This master's thesis focuses on the part of the IEEE 802.16 standard which
has the title "Air Interface for Fixed Broadband Wireless Access Systems".
This part, the IEEE 802.16a amendment, is only one of many amendments to the
802.16 standard, and this one presents a set of rules for how a wireless
network with xed nodes behaves.

The aim of the project is to simulate the use of "Quality of Service" (QoS)
flows in 802.16a network using the "Global Mobile Information Systems
Simulation Library" (GloMoSim) environment.

Based on a previous master's thesis done in Dublin, at the University School
of Electric Engineering, the work presented here tries to extend the existing
code structures to implement QoS flows inside the existing 802.16a GloMoSim
module derived from the earlier thesis, and implement the GPSS mode of the
standard 802.16a.
