Abstract
The IEEE 802.16-2005 (mobile WiMAX) is a specification of a broadband wireless network intended to support multiple services namely video based services. As of today, despite the standard, in a SISO configuration, specifies bit rates as high as 20 Mbps, our tests showed that the multicast capacity obtained in the urban area was around 6.5 Mbps. Besides, the tested system supports handover. The results also show that WiMAX is able to support mobile services at least up to 140 km/h.
