Performance of WiMAX/ IEEE 802.16 with different modulation and coding

Abstract

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) is the IEEE 802.16 Standards based wireless technology that provides MAN (Metropolitan Area Network) broadband and IP connectivity. WiMAX is promising technology which offers high speed voice, video and data services based on OFDM. It offers both line of sight and non line of sight wireless communication. In this paper performance of WiMAX with different modulation (BPSK, QPSK and QAM) and coding is studied on the basis of Bit Error Rate, Signal to Noise Ratio and error probability. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
