Performance analysis of mobile WiMax for frequency selective fading channel models

During the last decade, wireless field has witnessed revolutionary technology developments. The need for high data rates to support various multimedia applications has increased many folds. 3G and 4G technologies like WiMax (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) and LTE (Long Term Evolution) etc. are providing solution for this requirement of high speed data and high bandwidth. This paper discuss about WiMax system which is a Broadband Wireless Access (BWA) technology and is being used in WMAN (Wireless Metropolitan Area Networks). In this simulation work, the mobile WiMax is analyzed in terms of Bit Error Rate (BER) for ITU-R and Cost-207 channel model conditions for Typical Urban (TU) Area and Typical Rural Area (RA).
