Overview of a MAC Scheduling Algorithm for IEEE 802.16 Wireless Networks

In this paper we have presented the literature survey of proposed MAC based quality of service (QoS) architecture for Wi-MAX Point-to-Multipoint networks scheduling algorithm. The Wi-MAX is IEEE 802.16 Wireless network standard which recently for Broadband Wireless communication. The IEEE 802.16 advantages includes variable bit rate and high data rate, last mile wireless access, point to multipoint communication, large frequency range and QoS for various types of applications. With respect of the above advantages of IEEE 802.16 Wireless network is drawback in MAC scheduling architecture in uplink as well as downlink direction. In this paper we propose MAC scheduling architecture for IEEE 802.16 Wireless networks in both uplink and downlink direction to broadcast the frame.
