Abstract :
This paper addresses the important performance issues that arises when multimedia traffic is carried over WiMAX systems. In future, WiMAX will be used in conjunction with other wireless systems to bring a variety of multimedia services. This paper presents the results of application testing using commercially available WiMAX products. The main focus is to show the effectiveness of QoS capabilities in delivering streaming multimedia such as IPTV and similar media content. The results provide a good indication on the applicability of WiMAX for multimedia applications. These findings will be followed up by field trials with IPTV and other live stream media.
