Abstract :
The convergence of smart energy system, telemedicine system and smart home/building solution will be the future development focus of next generation building and home automation system. This paper discusses the impact of the convergence on WiMAX development in terms of QoS management and network design. A performance evaluation has been also conduct to visualize the impact and promising result has been found. This confirms that the current WiMAX standard service class definitions and QoS management framework can fulfill the future development of WiMAX convergent automation network after slight modification.
