Abstract

This paper introduces a dynamic system-level simulator for WIMAX (Wireless Interoperability for Microwave Access) networks that can be used to analyze the behavior of several network procedures. Moreover, the performance of a new approach to the frequency assignment problem, called DFP (Dynamic Frequency Planning), is studied using this simulation platform. DFP is able to run from a few times a day down to a frame by frame basis, balancing the radio resources between neighbouring BSs (Base Stations) and providing interference mitigation. We demonstrate the efficacy of DFP compared to off-the-shelf FRSs (Frequency Reuse Schemes) in terms of average network capacity and delay.
