Abstract :
WiMAX technology provides a Quality of Service (QoS) system that allows system operators to configure a network to provide maximum performance compared to conventional Best Effort (BE) systems. In this paper, we address the increase in number of data rich mobile devices and the performance issues associated with Video On Demand (VOD) multimedia traffic over a WiMAX network. We present the results of application testing using WiMAX protocol where the main focus is to show how utilizing a QoS system can benefit streaming real time multimedia. The results show how WiMAX technology is beneficial to multimedia applications.
