IEEE 802.16 Simulation

We are working on implementing ns-2 modules for IEEE 802.16 MAC. A preliminary version is now released.

Features of the current version are as follows:

TDD/TDM for access control

Best effort service only

Round-Robin scheduling among individual flows

* Our current research focuses on the scheduler of IEEE 802.16 MAC, so please note that this version of the simulator doesn't support mobility, mobile IP, or 802.16 PHY recovery.

If you want to get the code, please fill out the following form. The code will be sent to your e-mail account automatically. So, please be sure to write your e-mail address correctly.

The presentation material for the NS-2 Tutorial by Korean Institute of Communication and Sciences (KICS) (Aug. 2, 2006) is also available.

The following papers use the extended version of this simulator:

Seungwoon Kim and Ikjun Yeom, "TCP-aware Uplink Scheduling for IEEE 802.16," accepted to publish in IEEE Communications Letters, 2006.
Seungwoon Kim and Ikjun Yeom, "Performance Analysis of Best Effort Traffic in IEEE 802.16 Networks" is submitted for review to IEEE Transactions on Mobile Computing in Nov. 2006.
