used NCTUns-6.0 [6], simulation tool installed on Fedora 0,020
11 operating system. With aim to evaluate the 0,015
performance of Fixed WiMAX, we have developed 0,010
several simulation scenarios using specific conditions 0,005
such as: load, type of traffic, and maximum uplink 0,000
bandwidth. For all simulation scenarios we have used a 0 3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24 27 30 33 37 40 43 46 49 52 55 58

model at the base station, with elevation of 30 meters
above the ground, and with transmission power of 50 500 kbps 600 kbps 700 kbps 800 kbps

stations - SS (1, 2, 3 and 4). A single base station was 0,015
separately connected via the 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet link 0,010
to each of the four hosts. The four subscriber stations 0,005
were static and were located on 200 meters distance from 0,000

from SS 1, 2, 3 and 4 to the hosts 6, 7, 8 and 9
respectively. The generated traffic, for uplink, was UDP time (sec)
traffic with constant bit rate and variable bit rate (CBR

maximum uplink bandwidth that this subscriber stations
was allowed to use on 500 kbps, 600 kbps, 700 kbps and

values for VoIP traffic in this case are always below

acceptable value for the VoIP services on WiMAX. Also, 0,0

From the results we can conclude that increased
sustained rate for uplink in this case, reduces delay and 25 22,8561
