Abstract
To support different types of data like http, real-time audio and video, VoIP, FTP, there are various classes in WiMax system. In this work, we try to analyze the performance when multimedia contents are transmitted over WiMax network. Due to stringent delay requirement of real-time multimedia data, a separate class is allocated for it. i.e. rtPS. Thus our objective is to find out that how much we gain advantage by transmitting multimedia over this separate class? This requires a thorough analysis while considering all the scenarios. Our contribution in this paper is to build an initial framework for answering the above stated questions. The Network Simulator (ns-2) which is a popular tool for the simulation of computer networks has been used to simulate the results. Standard-compliant implementations have been used to authenticate the results.
