Abstract
WiMAX based on the IEEE 802.16 standard allows the deployment of cellular mobile broadband access networks delivering all services through the Internet Protocol. An essential feature of such networks it the Quality of Service (QoS) support including the traffic shaping. Based on detailed analyses of the IEEE 802.16-2009 QoS concept, we propose two traffic shaping algorithms. The first one is standard conform at the expense of high memory consumption. The second approximate algorithm has been developed for memory crucial system. We present parameter studies obtained by a detailed ns-2 WiMAX simulation environment. The simulation results show that both algorithms can be used as a base for QoS-aware WiMAX scheduling algorithms.
