Abstract

Abstract— Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access (WiMAX) is a wireless communications technology based on the IEEE 802.16 standard that enabling the delivery of last mile wireless broadband access. Mobile WiMAX, refer to the IEEE 802.16e-2005standard is amendment for mobile wireless broadband up to vehicular speeds in licensed bands from 2-6 GHz. In this paper, mobile WiMAX performance degradation is investigated using OPNET Modeler® version 14.5. Several scenarios have been created to analyze the increasing number of users in a mobile WiMAX topology in free space and vehicular affected the performance of the mobile WiMAX network. Throughput and average delay are used as the performance metric in 3 applications, which are web browsing (HTTP), FTP and Video conferencing.
