Model Name: Streaming video and audio content over mobile WiMAX networks
Modeler Version: 15.0.A PL3 (Build 8631 64-bit) Release date 2009-Jun-23
OPNET Model Library: 15.0 Release date 2009-Jul-01

WiMAX (Worldwide Interoperability for Microwave Access) embodies the IEEE 802.16 family of standards that provision wireless broadband access. With the IEEE 802.16e-2005 mobility amendment, WiMAX promises to address the ever-increasing demand of mobile high-speed wireless data in fourth generation (4G) networks. WiMAX market studies continue to project increased subscriber growth rates and planned carrier trials worldwide. With these projected growth rates, in order to understand if WiMAX is a formidable player in 4th generation mobile systems, it is desirable to quantify performance using video-rich emerging services to sufficiently load and stress the network to exploit the potential bandwidth, delay and mobility limitations.

The goal of this project is to enhance the existing OPNET simulation model "Streaming video content over WiMAX and ADSL access networks" (Model IDs: 899 and 896) to simulate video content representative of IPTV and other video-rich emerging services to adequately load and analyze the Mobile WiMAX technology.
