Abstract

The next generation of mobile WiMAX is IEEE 802.16m which amends the IEEE 802.16e specification to provide an advanced air interface for operation in licensed bands. It is a recommended candidate for 4G. For the next generation mobile networks, it is important to consider increasing peak, sustained data rates, spectral efficiencies, system capacity, cell coverage, and providing QoS. In this paper the capacity estimation for both downlink and uplink direction in IEEE 802.16m, is presented. Moreover, bandwidth and minimum demand for different distribution modeling and different classes of services, VoIP, Video Conference, Streaming Media, Web browsing, Multiplayer interactive gaming, and Media Content downloading at channel bandwidth of 20MHZ. Matlab simulation programs are also considered.
