Abstract

The study reported here includes propagation analysis and coverage as well as the available downlink (DL) throughput of OFDMA-based IEEE802.16m WiMAX system as a function of distance to the Base Station (BS) for a number of outdoor and indoor propagation scenarios. Moreover, Walls penetration loss is also considered. Adaptive modulation and Coding (AMC) schemes will be assumed in the present study for 5 MHz and 20 MHz channel bandwidth.
