Abstract

Currently, the multimedia stream service provided by broadband wireless networks has emerged as an important technology and attracted much attention in the research of mobile IPTV which provide common content or program to multiple subscribers by using IP multicast service. Multicast and broadcast services (MBS) are described in the mobile WiMAX standard. The Qualnet network simulator is a more prevailing and powerful simulation for IEEE802.16 and IEEE802.11 wireless networks, including wireless LANs and sensor network. However, the network module has not been included to Multicast and Broadcast Service for IEEE802.16e standard or mobile WiMAX in Qualnet. Hence, in this paper, we purpose to design a simulation model of IEEE802.16e standard for multicast and broadcast service with the point-to-multipoint (PMP) mode.
