Abstract
Abstract — Currently the network simulator 2 (ns-2) is a popular and powerful simulation for IEEE 802.11 wireless networks, including wireless LANs, mobile ad hoc networks (MANETs), and sensor networks. However, the network module has not been extended to IEEE 802.16 broadband wireless access networks (BWANs) or WiMAX yet. In this paper, we design and implement a new medium access control (MAC) protocol based on the IEEE 802.16 standard with the point-to-multipoint (PMP) mode for the ns-2. This module will benefit academic researchers and industrial developers in developing the WiMAX system. Besides, the architecture of the module is also presented in this paper. Index Terms — MAC, module, simulator, WiMAX. I.
