Study of WiMAX simulation

Abstract

I n modern world wireless communication systems are involved in every part of life. WiMAX is the upcoming wireless system which uses IEEE standard 802.16. By using WiMAX technology we can overcome the limitations of the existing wireless communication like short coverage area, lack of security and low data rate. In our thesis, initially we analyzed the basic concept of WiMAX. Then we tested transmission and reception of WIMAX technology by using MATLAB simulation. In this process we have transferred a data array from the transmitter, passed it through a channel, received the signal from a receiver, and recovered the main signal. We have also worked on the hardware implementation of WiMAX network with door lock and window alarm system. In the simulation part the input data that we have transmitted was recovered and there were no distortion in the recovered signal. From the graphical representation we come to know that the error rate is zero. In the hardware part when the input password matches with the set password in the lock system a sharp signal is sent otherwise a faded signal is sent. The received signal at the receiver was distorted a bit but the result was satisfactory.
